Everything was so fresh and delicious. Everyone greeted me with a kind and genuine smile. I could feel that everyone was proud to represent their amazing establishment, and cared immensely for the customer experience and quality of food. Also, the medium/dark coffee they served was outstanding and paired perfectly with both sweet and savory dishes. Thanks to everyone at Gardenia, I am excited to return again.

Amazing vibes and service was great! We ordered the chai latte, gingerbread latte and Pan de waffle Sanguchito and Perro Caliente to share. The lattes were delicious and flavorful. It was a good way to start the Sunday morning. The pan de waffle sanguchito was amazing, probably my favorite! The waffle had a mochi texture and reminded me of cheese bread, pao de queijo. Filled with ham, cream cheese and provolone, each bite perfectly balanced with the flavors. The perro caliente is a Colombian hot dog was surprisingly good! Everything worked so well together, it had onions, chips, pineapple sauce, mozzarella cheese and garlic/ketchup mayo sauce. Very impressed by the quality of the food and I cannot wait to get the pan de waffle again! If you're into cafes and looking for cool hidden gems, definitely try this place out!

I will not be coming back and spending my $8 dollars plus on lattes and this is why I go to Starbucks at least I get kinds at the one I go to. Her attitude was really uncalled for.

Also, their drinks are unique like their ume flavored drink (uniquely salty!) And their refreshers. I absolutely enjoy the vibe of the cafe. It's cozy and has cute decor. Moreover, they play nice music like ghibli instrumentals/soundtracks. There are a couple regular tables and chairs and some chairs and tables set up like a camping area. They also have outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the weather. The staff are always helpful with the many questions I have about their drinks! I've been to Neko Nook several times and I'll continue to go!

Chicken katsu on the left and steamed rice on the right with pickled vegetables covered in a brown curry sauce. There is a lot of curry sauce, so you have more than enough for everything in the bowl. It was good to try, but I might stick to something different the next time - all about preference. Ube Latte - I got it iced. After my first sip, I was expecting it to be a little sweet, but it was not at all. However, as I shook my cup a bit more it tasted how I wanted it - that helped. Enjoyed this drink. Even though there is seating both indoors and outdoors, there are not a lot of seats overall. We lucked out as someone was leaving a table right after we ordered.

It was towards the end of the night for them on a weekday, and I just wanted a gin soda. It's a rare occasion for me to he asked whether I want a single or double. So I enjoyed that, and noticed how big the place actually is. I feel like the only thing it's missing is a pool table, haha (unless I missed it). They have an excellent happy hour that I would love to try if I was in the area, but it's kind of far from home. Based on recent reviews, things do seem to be mixed, and I didn't try the food. But I most likely will the next time that I go, whenever that is. I appreciate it the friendly staff, the music, and the vibe of the place and I would recommend it to anyone in the area for drinks at least.

As far as the food, it was good but nothing exceptional, the pierogies were the best thing we tried, the so called "best wings in Moco" were a let down, dry and stringy while the grilled chicken sandwich was quite dry but it still tasted good. Overall the experience was alright but not great or exceptional.

The slightest hint of sweetness made all the difference! You could taste how fresh all the ingredients were! The breakfast sandwich was massive and filling.

The restaurant is super clean. If I could go back in time, the only thing I would do differently would be to skip the protein smoothie. The description sounded very flavorful and delicious, but the reality was muted and boring. It had chunks of ice in it and tasted more of stevia than of banana, and I could not taste the espresso even a little bit, even though I saw him put it in there. I am wondering if the flavor of the vanilla protein powder took over? I could taste a watered down flavor of almond, vanilla, and something like stevia or monkfruit, but I could not taste banana, coffee, or cacao nibs. There was zero richness for something containing both banana and almond butter. Zero. That said, I will definitely go back again and again and again for their other items. I just will not be ordering the protein smoothie again as I mourn the $13 I spent on it.

The hash brown had a great crunch, and the scrambled eggs were soft and not overcooked. I also had a hot chocolate, which was sweet and creamy, exactly how I like it. My friend ordered a salad.
