If you're paying nearly $20 for a medium iced coffee and an iced matcha latte, you'd expect the…read moredrinks to be good at the very least. Unfortunately, the matcha was a big disappointment. It isn't freshly whisked or made to order, they have it premixed and sitting in a container ready to pour. You can definitely taste the difference. It didn't taste fresh and, strangely enough, kind of tasted like Play-Doh. The place itself is really nice, and the staff was friendly, so there are definitely positives here. But at these prices, the quality of the drinks needs to match. With so many good coffee shops in town, they really need to step up the drink quality if they want to stay competitive.

Super cute inside, you can come by during happy hour and their menu changes. Today we had the honey vanilla latte. One was with whole milk and the other with oatmilk. I wish establishments would stop charging extra for offering different milks, I'm lactose intolerant and have a nut allergy, so I'm already limited on what I can have, why penalize me some more, my body already betrays me.

I was served by Queen who was an absolute sweetheart and made sure my order was made to perfection (see heart drink for reference). The other diners also looked very happy and seemed to be enjoying the beautiful decor as much as I did(I tried not to photograph them). It honestly felt like I was transported to Brooklyn. And the sandwich and Bom drink I got were enough to still have me thinking about it as I'm writing this post. I went during the day but cannot wait to go later to see how this place is in the evening. 11/10 for Roto!!

Roto is a cute coffee shop with a corner city coffee shop feel and outdoor seating. It was…read morerecommended by a few people and seems to be pretty popular, so I wanted to give it a try. I ordered the banana bread latte, but unfortunately it didn't taste like banana at all and had no sweetness. My partner got the vanilla pistachio latte, and neither of us really tasted the flavors in our drinks. Both drinks basically tasted like iced coffee. 3 stars because service was fast. The atmosphere is nice, but based on the coffee, I probably wouldn't come back.

Bagels always fresh and they use deli quality cream cheese (not that store bought stuff). They also serve hot sandwich's (ready-made once they gone, that's it!), tons of pastries, ready to go yogurts and coffee beans by the lb. Monthly specials always in line with holiday themes (March - St Patty drinks, February - Valentines Days, Fall - Pumpkin spice vibes, etc) It feels like a cabin living room which is cozy and intimate. If you're studying or doing work, team will bring your order to you and you can pay from the table you sit! Love these guys and def a local staple for sure.

I ordered a triple expresso shot with their butternut cold foam. The expresso shots were a bit watery and it felt like they gave me cold brew and not expresso shots. The foam on top was a bit liquidy as well and not thick as most cold foams are, The staff was friendly but overall, I would probably come back to try something else and possibly work from there as well. The place felt cozy and quiet and super welcoming !

Today is my boyfriend's birthday, so we decided to have what we coined our "Breakfast Adventure"!…read moreWe ended up at Toast because we saw they had a dog-friendly patio. Unfortunately, due to the heavy rain the day before, the patio wasn't set up. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. They went out of their way to set up a table and chairs for us so we could enjoy breakfast and celebrate together with our dog. Our waitress, Jordan, was patient and friendly, which made the experience even better. Since it was our first visit, they treated us to a free stack, and the seasonal option was the Peach Cobbler Pancakes. We also ordered the Benedict Arnold, Biscuits and Gravy, Early Riser with two eggs our way, a Banana Nut Latte, and an Espresso Martini. Everything was fresh and tasty, and the Espresso Martini definitely packed a punch! At the end of our meal, they brought out a tiny Sprinkle Stack with a candle and sang Happy Birthday to my boyfriend. It was such a sweet surprise and honestly made the outing feel extra special. I'm definitely recommending this location. The food was delicious, but the kindness and customer service really stood out. They helped turn a rainy-day breakfast into a memorable birthday adventure!

Needless to say even though the footprint was basically the same the interior has been changed is very open and inviting. A friend and I were there for lunch around 1:30 on a Monday. No issue getting a table and were seated immediately. Katie our server was very nice, pleasant and efficient. Drink were brought out quickly and our order taken. My friend got an omelet special with Irish bangers and cheese with home fries and rye toast. She enjoyed the omelet and I have to say the rye bread was outstanding. Don't think it's made in house but were ever they get it from is really good. I got a lunch special of Pot Roast sandwich with onions, mushrooms and cheese on thick cut bread. It was served with a au jus dipping sauce. If it's on the menu don't hesitate to get it, it was outstanding and so stuffed I could only eat half. Will absolutely be returning to Toast !

In no rush on this beautiful morning, so I figured I'd order the biggest plate I could've ordered and just soak the vibe in, appropriately called The Feast with a glass of apple juice. So they came in with the wrong order, so what? At least they quickly got it fixed and brought out my real order, no need to throw a fit this early in the morning. Anyhow, as for the meal itself, they're not trying to reinvent the wheel and that is perfectly fine, really just came for the vibes. The meal was satisfyingly traditional overall. Is it worth going back to though? Unfortunately no, because there are better sit down breakfast spots on the island, wasn't really worth the distance, in my opinion. Some minor complaints are that coffee drinks weren't refilled and syrup cost extra by like ¢.75, but they're really minor, nothing to really fuss about, personally though I liked it but it was worth it for the one time for the vibe alone. I would recommend only if you're close to the place.

I would definitely come back to try more and would recommend for others to try.
