This is such a fun warming place to be all around. Though there's not a ton of seating, I was lucky enough to find a table even on the weekend given that this spot is also great for grab and go. But if you get a chance to sit, it's a lovely place to have a chat with a friend or get some work done. The menu has a wide variety of drinks with some fun rotating flavors, and I'm dying to come back and try their sandwiches (they look and smell divine)! As for their matcha and pastries, I can report that they're not the most impressive I've seen anywhere, but they're certainly high quality and crave-worthy. This in addition to some great prices definitely makes a stop here worth it!!

I have studied in here before and it is a pretty nice environment for that. The ham and cheese croissant was really good, pain au chocolate was decent. The matcha I got was honestly a little grainy and not my favorite matcha. I think maybe it wasn't completely incorporated? Or possibly just lower grade matcha, which I can't blame them as a regular coffee company.

I'm pretty picky about boba places and this one is solid!!…read more I tried their grapefruit aloe boba. The barista took great care in crafting the drink, even hand mashing the fruit pulp. A small point, but I like how they use high quality cups. I was a little apprehensive getting the popcorn chicken given the mixed reviews, but honestly I don't see what the issue was. Maybe they've improved the recipe but I didn't find the chicken to be rubbery, if anything maybe just a tad too oily. The seasoning was great! The interior is clean, though one note is that there isn't much space for sitting to enjoy your drink inside.

Each month I receive a carefully roasted, curated, and described in detail bag of coffee beans I would otherwise be oblivious to. Compared to other coffee subscription series, this one is economical, high quality (beans, packaging, communication, and website), and easy to engage with. I'm well into my 3rd decade of purchasing coffee beans for home (up to 5 lbs at a time) from small and large roasters. This roaster (and service) hits all my measures for excellence. Highly Recommended!

It was a happy accident! On weekends there will likely be a wait for brunch. Service is friendly and efficient. Coffee is served in a really big mug and is piping hot. Breakfast potatoes are crisp and hot and flavorgul. Cholula hot sausce is always on the table. At some point, I will have the lunch or dinner items but I always end up gravitating towards breakfast. We've had the omelettes, power bowl, and breakfast scramble. All were fresh and flavorful. I also had a spiked lemonade which was also tasty.

On a clear, sunny day, after visiting the Isabella Museum, I thought I'd find a brunch spot nearby…read more Shakshuka: The portions were huge, still bubbling hot when it arrived; the meatballs were firm, slightly coarse, and very satisfying; the runny egg was delicate and tempting; the bread had a slightly crispy crust from being pan-fried, while the inside was incredibly soft and delicate, like a cake, perfect for dipping in the sauce. Everything was perfect, except... it was incredibly sour, almost pungent. The sauce was just pure canned tomato flavor, and the pickled peppers were also extremely sour, with a hint of spiciness that made the flavor even more intense. I guess I just couldn't get used to it, as a Chinese; but I'll respect this seasoning, as it's very common in the West. After taking it home, I reheated it with sugar, black pepper, butter, and Parmesan cheese, and mixed with pasta--it instantly felt much smoother and more delicious! The restaurant's decor was simple and rustic, with natural-colored wooden tables that looked gentle and warm in the sunlight. I really liked it.

Each one of us ordered a dish including the chickpea fritter sandwich, mushroom parm platter, and the bridgewater platter. On the side, we had the rosemary fries and the rosemary lemonade. Overall, our experience was good. The food was tasty, portions weren't too large but were sufficient. The chickpeas fritter sandwich came loaded and was actually a little difficult to eat and had to be deconstructed! The reason for taking one star off was that the food arrived cold even though we dined in. The fries especially were just stone cold. It was ironic that we were sitting right next to the sign which said that the fries here are cut only 10 mins before you eat them. It certainly didn't feel like it. And while you can eat certain items cold, fries are not it.
