I went with the avocado smash toast topped with a poached egg -- and wow, when it came out, it looked like a work of art (almost too pretty to eat). That first bite had amazing flavor and had the perfect texture all around. Honestly, one of the best avocado toasts I've had so far. The staff, incredibly warm and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.

A restaurant devoted to gourmet breakfast toasts? Hell yeah! But who are we kidding. Toast isn't…read morejust for breakfast anymore. Which is why I was more than happy to pop in for lunch toast while on a recent biz trip to the area. This is a tiny little spot, and parking is all but impossible to find. But my efforts were richly rewarded with a hearty portion of their tasty tuna toast (served upon a custom wood board of course). It was fresh and tasty, and worth the long wait during the early afternoon rush. I also ordered a latte... which was just meh. But that's probably just the Seattle in me talking.

Okay, so I'm not an açaí bowl connoisseur or anything, but I've tasted enough of them across the…read moreU.S. (and even abroad!) to know what I like. That said, the açaí here was a bit different. The consistency reminded me more of a smoothie than that thick, scoopable texture I usually go for. It's not necessarily bad--just not what I expected. Anyway, just my two cents. Everyone's taste is different, so if you love it, I get it! It's super chill, and there's plenty of space to enjoy yourself!

I am a regular at South Block, and I finally got to try the strawberry smoothie that is a dupe of…read morethe Hailey Bieber Erewhon Smoothie, which I've had before in LA. I was honestly pleasantly surprised by it! I think the flavor profile is spot on and it really is a close comparison. While I do wish it had the coconut element to it instead of the oat whip I would get it again because it's refreshing and has just enough sweetness. I'm excited that South Block is experimenting/ developing new smoothies and can't wait to see what comes next!

I am suspect of all the very positive reviews. Too many things went wrong for me to thing that…read morethis was just an off day. I had coffee with an espresso shot and it was good. I was looking or a great breakfast sammy and this place was disappointing. It came up as the #3 of the list of "best breakfast sandwiches around me". Like Starbucks, the breakfast sammy are pre-made and heated. This doesn't qualify. The decor is sterile like a Starbucks got together with Coldstone and launched a Hawaiian coffee shop. The Coldstone reference is that employees "greet" people when they arrive and announce tips. They do it in a half-hearted manner like they are bothered. I'd be bothered too working hard and being forced to do inauthentic customer service. I had to wait 15 minutes for the coffee. I heard one of the employees apologizing to another customer. I would have appreciated him saying something like this to me, "we are shorthanded, can you wait 15 minutes for your coffee?" The barista was calling out customer names when she finished a drink. In my case, she left it in front of a guy who had a large order. It wasn't until he left that I waded over to find my unannounced coffee. Keep in mind that I like offbeat coffee shops that don't feel like a chain. I also have high standards when it come to breakfast sammy's.

I stopped in to do a return for Amazon and was welcome by the staff very quickly. They help me…read morereturn my items and we're so nice about it. Highly recommend this return spot for Amazon. Afterwards, you can always take a walk around the store and see lots of yummy yummy things along with Tastings of food and then they have the people out. Food is great!

The bottom line: I love shopping at supermarkets, it's a guilty pleasure. It must be something…read moreabout food, organization, color and potential. This Whole Foods is no different and I enjoy my regular visits, with the pyramidally stacked fresh fruits, lined up green leafy produce, and front facing 365 products. Is it a bit pricey, yes. Do I sometimes get fruit, veggies, or meat that is well past their prime (pun intended), yes; but, I've been able to return it for a refund (a bit annoying but not a show stopper for me). The ambiance is high-end supermarket with lofted ceilings and sometimes samples--shout out to the fish mongers who kill their salmon sautés! The vast majority of the staff are friendly and helpful, the hot bar nuggets (especially the saucy ones) are on point. I miss the stroopwaffle, which have disappeared from the cookie bar, and I think the pizza has trended slightly downward since the days of mambo chicken pizza, but I haven't been eating it as much. I'll be back.

It tasted semi artificial, hoping it…read morewould've had that real coconut milk flavor, and the boba texture was really bad - it was hard, not really chewy.

And when I look to see who came to this lovely sanctuary of heavenly fruits, there was no one there. But when I looked down I saw a hippo walk in. Now I don't know if this hippo got loose at some Zoo but I screamed and when I got up to run out of the store, I was tripped by the purple glob and hurt my toe. Is this supposed to be part of the service? Anyways lovely food and cute hippo, lives up to the tropical name! Thank you.

Lastly, they keep the cookies warm so that's a HUGE PLUS! This review is more specifically to recognize the customer service of Eli. He was very helpful in helping me choose my selection. He was very patient with me. And his friendly service should be recognized! Thank you Eli. I'll be back to try one of the beverages soon!

If you're a true sweets lover, Midnightreats is absolutely worth the stop…read more These are not your light, airy, grab-and-go cookies. They are thick, dense, warm, and very indulgent. The kind where one cookie can easily be shared (or not lol ). They're rich and sweet, so if you're someone who loves a heavy dessert that feels like a treat-treat, you'll be in heaven. Easily a 10/10 for that category. What really stood out to me was the variety of flavors. I tried the strawberry matcha cookie and was honestly surprised by how much I liked it. It had a really nice balance of flavors and didn't feel gimmicky at all. It's always a risk trying something a little different, but this one definitely paid off. Another thing I appreciated was that they had a section of cookies discounted because they were made the night before. I love when places do this...it's a great way to try more flavors without spending a lot, and honestly, the cookies were still really good. Service-wise, the cashier was super helpful and patient, especially when it came to explaining flavors and giving recommendations. That always makes a difference when you're staring at a case full of options and can't decide.

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Everything looks delicious and the staff is friendly…read more Do not miss the cream filled pastries. They are absolute heaven! But beware, they are highly addictive. We dropped by this little shop as an alternative to Tatte's, where they use canola oil for everything and I'm allergic to it--it literally makes me gag before I can get a bite down. At Paris Baguette they told me they use canola oil only for frying, an olive oil for everything else. As an aside, Canola oil should be banned from human food. It is an industrial product meant for machinery. I'm eager to get back to Paris Baguette to try their other offerings. I hope they're super successful and expand to Old Town Alexandria where I live and like to hang out.

The only savory option I enjoyed was the loaded hash brown which tasted great and was super filling. The vibes are cafeteria style self-serve combined with cafe style where you can sit and enjoy your items. I will say that it can be quite crowded in the morning so I'd recommend coming early if you're hoping to snag a spot to sit. The cashiers were very nice as well!
