Some merch for sale and other curated goods but nothing that really caught my eye. Service was fast but I was the only one in line at the time. They must get busy because they have a big line queue which while necessary, is uninviting. I ordered a latte and added a flavor shot. Overall I thought it wasn't bad. It wasn't something I'd go out of my way for, but if this was a local spot that I wanted to go sit down and enjoy coffee with a friend then I'd choose here. The scone had potential. They gave me the wrong flavor which I didn't care about, but I ended up with chocolate chip. The interior was a nice moist center but the exterior was a little too crunchy (possibly over baked) for me.

Every…read moreSunday morning we try to hit up a new local coffee shop and on this morning we decided to go to Coffee Tree Roasters. I actually used to go to all the Coffee Tree Roasters locations quite regularly as they were the standard for coffee for me. For whatever reason though, I had stopped going and so I was interested to see how it stacked up. The inside of this shop is clean with a bunch of different tables to sit at, some merchandise on the back wall and then a refrigerator case near where you place your order. For my coffee on this morning I didn't see any of the holiday specials that I was looking for and so ultimately decided to go with a peppermint latte while my wife went with a peppermint mocha. My peppermint latte here left a lot to be desired unfortunately. The peppermint syrup was too strong and so my coffee sort of tasted like toothpaste with an aftertaste of coffee. Even if the coffee tasted good, which it did, as you might imagine the whole drink itself wasn't ideal. The one good thing is that my wife did enjoy her coffee drink here. The bottom line for me is that I might stop by here again in the future. While I wasn't a big fan of my coffee here, I know they definitely have better stuff.

You place your order on a touch screen and everything is cashless except a cake they had on the counter for $5. My friend wanted to purchase the cake, but they didn't have the ability to ring her up for it with her card. Neither of us had cash on us and the sweet woman behind the counter gave my friend the cake and said, "stop by whenever you have the cash." She was so nice. I ordered the mango sticky rice because it sounded intriguing. I've never had it before and I didn't really know what to expect. The textures were good for me: chewy, some chunks of mango, saucy. I just thought whatever syrupy mango sauce/jam they put on top is way too sweet for my personal preference. I had a few bites and brought the rest home. I'll probably use the mango sticky rice as a plain greek yogurt topping.

The Shakshouka was bomb the eggs were poached to perfection! The bread was nice and fresh it was soft but still sturdy enough to use to dip! The cereal milk latte is another staple for me I mean how can it not be. The espresso was delicious and the Honey Nut Cheerios was the perfect subtle flavor! Not too sweet which i appreciate.

On one recent visit, I placed a takeout order for the time I expected to be finishing up with a massage a couple doors down. My massage ran way over and I expressed my concern about it to my provider. She sent over the front desk attendant to pick up my order. When I finished, I had a message from the Toastique manager saying he really hoped to reach me because I had left my smoothie behind when I walked out (somehow they got this worked out, because both my toast and smoothie were waiting for me at the front desk). On another recent visit, I showed up just about 20 minutes before they were set to close and asked if they would still be able to make a bowl for me. They looked like they were starting the process of organizing and cleaning up ingredients but were happy to do it. Just always such nice, helpful people and the food is delicious and nourishing. I'm in this area a lot and this is becoming a go to spot for food that I can feel good about.

I think they recently…read moreexpanded their menu some more after I already went, but even when I came and tried a more limited menu, everything was quite good. I got to try their Samarkand plov/osh, Samarkand bread/naan/non, Napoleon cake, and the suzma. I really enjoyed nearly all of the items. Starting backwards with the suzma, this was kind of like labneh, the Turkish yogurt dish. Quite good, but this felt a little more liquidy while still being rich. Very strong whole milk flavor. The Uzbek bread is always delicious. They give you a huge piece of bread that is crunchy at the sides and soft in the middle. Perfect for eating any of the main entrees with, especially kebabs. Nice seed topping as well. The Samarkand plot was quite nice too. My first time ever having plov, finally! Glad to try it from this place. They give you a nice serving size. The rice is a little bit oily, and I typically like the rice to be cooked longer (it still had a pretty strong bite to it), but the flavor was nice overall. Savory from the meat, sweet (almost a bit too sweet) from the carrots, and richness from the spices and oil. I really liked that they included chickpeas as well. All in all, I quite enjoyed this place. Probably not my favorite Uzbek in the area, but still, very good. I would like to come back to try some of the other items they added.

This review is long overdue--we ate at Cafe Samarkand a month ago on the first day of Ramadan--but…read morehopefully better late than never. We had a lovely first dinner at Cafe Samarkand. The owner and staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly from the time we arrived until we left, often checking on our experience without being intrusive. They also helpfully explained the menu and the presence of some special treats already on the table when we arrived--there for guests coming to break their fast for that day of Ramadan. We very much enjoyed everything we ate, starting with a Samosa and Shuba (with the awesome translation of "Fur Coat"), and through our main courses of Plov, Layered Uzbek dumplings, and steak with rice. The Plov and layered dumplings were particular standouts for generous servings of perfectly seasoned dishes with complex flavor--seem like they would be particularly great entry points for folks less familiar with Uzbek cuisine. We were too full to eat dessert, but took home some honey cake for dessert. That was reminiscent of baklava with its layers of crispy cake and honey, but also very much its own thing, and definitely something I will be ordering next time, too. I worry folks will miss this local gem down at the end of the Kuhn's parking lot, and hope the word gets out--it's definitely worth a visit!
