    bug in the drink

    Puts their hands on the tip of the straws with no gloves on and there was a bug in one of our drinks!!!

    A disaster
    Tiffany B.

    Absolutely not!!! I am absolutely confused by the monstrosity they gave me to eat. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese bagel... no you're probably wondering how could that go wrong? Well it went wrong very quickly! This establishment had the audacity to put the bacon egg and cheese on a cinnamon bagel... a soggy cinnamon bagel. Who in their right mind would do that? Anyways the coffee was good but the food was a mess.

    Large and small SHARP plastic pieces found in our drinks.

    I'm quite frankly appalled, and unsure what I'm going to do about this moving forward. My family and I visited the Fircrest location today around 4:25pm 9/16/2020. We both got smoothies, and we tipped well for friendly service however we have a huge issue. We found MULTIPLE pieces of sharp plastic that got blended into his drink, which look almost to me as thought a CAP got BLENDED into our smoothies. We are furious. How did they not notice? And if they did, why did they serve this to us? Now we have NO idea how much of this my husband has ingested and frankly this will have severe medical and health complications for him down the road. Some of the pieces we found were barely noticeable. This is absolutely sick, and frankly I am really mad about the lack of regard and carelessness these baristas showed us, and how careless and unprofessional it seems to me that they are by failing to notice they blended plastic into a smoothie. We won't be coming back.

    The best manager and Barista! She had my Cherry White Chocolate mocha all ready before I drove up without asking! ALL the baristas great!

    My favorite Barista girls are here! Amazing customer service here and today the manager who is also a Barista made me my favorite White Chocolate with cherry latte before I arrived to the window! Amazing flavors and drinks. My favorite coffee stand! ALL of the girls know how to make delicious drinks and are very nice! Family friendly as well!

    Hospitable baristas. Samantha is great! Suggested a mocha with chocolate milk. Good stuff.

I got the…read more"hot mama" breakfast sandwich and coming from someone who has eaten probably at least 100 different breakfast sandwiches from cafes and restaurants all over the world - I think I found my favorite. The homemade biscuit that this sandwich is on already sets it apart - but then the insides?!? Oh my gosh. I know for a fact that so many places undercook their bacon and it's soggy and limp, which is why I hesitate to spend much over $5 on a breakfast sandwich. I had to try it though and thank goodness I did. The bacon was perfect and crispy, just the right amount of spice - don't let the name scare you! The arugula paired with the spice and the sauce...TO DIE FOR. I really don't think I've ever had a better breakfast sandwich, I know I'm being redundant here but wow wow wow. Plenty of seating in here, we came on a weekday late morning and parking was easy too. If you're in th area don't pass this place up! 100/10!

But good old street parking, mostly parallel parking or there may be a garage/lot near you, but usually have to pay $ for that. But anyways, back to the cafe. From what I gather, the cafe has/had a staff drink special menu that gets switched out ever so often. They do have the classic coffe drinks too oh, and if you're into matcha, that have that too. And if you want some baked goods or food, they have some option I can't remember what drinks I ordered though. Oops. But for the food, I got the pastrami and swiss and a pastry. The breakfast sandwich was okay. The pastry was good, but I can't recall what this is either. Goodness. But the staff was chill and welcoming. Its a cozy cafe. The spot has a few tables you can sit at too. They have a grab and go fridge and some swag section too.

After checking in, I would suggest waiting to go up as your whole party. I went up without my friend, who was in the restroom, and they, at first, wouldn't let her come up without another group needing to come up. I had all her things so I had no way of knowing and was waiting for her up on the rooftop for quite some time. The dinner was good. I tried the focaccia, feta dip and crostini, the braised short ribs, and the double chocolate skillet cookie. The foccacia was good but I wish there had been butter or maybe oil and vinegar. It was a bit plain on its own but my friend ate it with her lasagna so it worked out. I really enjoyed the feta dip. It was quite tasty. I know crostinis are supposed to be hard but I found it to be too hard. I really enjoyed the braised short ribs. The meat was tender and was well seasoned. I liked the mashed potatoes which weren't perfectly smooth which is something I prefer and there was a little bit of potato skin. I wish there had been just a tad more sauce for the potatoes. The double chocolate chiller cookie was so good especially if you're a fan of chocolate. It was rich but too sweet and the ice cream that came with it was delicious as well that was slightly coconutty. There is kind of a time limit for your reservation as they ask you to limit your time to 90 minutes on their website. We came on a Friday night and they had live music which was such a great vibe for the rooftop. Because you're outside, I would recommend bringing a coat or something just in case.

They have a monthly rotating menu of four limited drinks for their drink flights. For the month of February the four drinks were: - Lots of Love Lotus -- pink lotus with rose and lavender syrup, topped with lavender cold foam. - Eternal Flame Latte -- espresso with sweet heat syrup and brown sugar cinnamon, finished with a honey and red sugar rim. - Sweetheart Sip Matcha -- iced matcha with cherry and almond syrup, topped with a maraschino cherry. - Perfect Pair Latte -- espresso with dark chocolate, white chocolate, and strawberry, topped with whipped cream and strawberry drizzle. The drinks were all great. In addition to the drink flight, we ordered a chocolate vegan muffin and a Danish to snack on. The space is wonderful. It is a fairly large space that could be used to study, work, or even socialize in. The service is also excellent. The staff are friendly and delivered our drink flight right to us!

    The glazed was good. Prices were fair and nice to purchase in 1/2 and Whole Dozen price points…read more I was personally disappointed for I went in wanting 4 specific items and 2 were sold out. The 2 sold out items were the Scones and Buttermilk Bars. I would have definitely compared them to Pink Box's bars. If they're sold out here at Pao's, I'd assume they have to be very good. I'm not one for scones but theirs looked a little special. One previous poster here suggested that it would be worth paying a penalty for the Toasted Coconut. Definitely a very good example. Mr. Pao was a kind man, patient with the customer ahead of us that did not know that the establishment is cash only. Cash only is great. The CC Cos make enough money as it is and the 3% transfer/ transaction fee they charge merchants is always passed onto the consumer unless...... Pay with cash people! The donuts. Maple bar was good. I was not content with the double chocolate cake. The chocolate cake was rather flat and depended on the icing to carry it across the finish line. We didn't arrive terribly late for some items to be sold out. Some people just.......... If you need 40 dozen of a particular item, don't just walk in and be inconsiderate of other patrons. Call ahead and make a special order. Otherwise, control yourself and consider others before blowing out a selection. I'm a white cream fan over Bavarian/ Boston Custard. Some places have a white cream filled Long Johns. Pao's just the long chocolate bars, no filling. Standard Boston Cream donuts are available. The donuts are a nice size and selection is good. You have to love the small local donut bakeries. Some are amazing, some ehh. This was about at 3/4 to amazing. If I had to grade, maybe an 82% for the day. Definitely room for improvement both on the business and customer side of the transaction. Keep it cash only and stick it to big bank business.

Everything has been delicious, and the coffee tastes good too. They aren't disguising a bad product with syrups and cold foam, it's actually really good tasting coffee. I like that they have expanded cup sizes too, so I could get a 12oz iced drink and try a few of them.

Unfortunately, they're also often stuck having to explain to customers why food isn't available, and that seems to be a management/ownership issue rather than a staff issue. For a local business that has been around for a while, product availability should be much more dialed in. Weekend demand, back-to-school changes, seasonal patterns, and other fluctuations are things that can be tracked and planned for using basic sales data. I've had to relocate business coffee meetings on four separate occasions because they were short on food, again. That's especially unfortunate to them as a business, because I typically spend $30-$35 when I'm there with a client, 8-12 times/month, which I gladly redirecting elsewhere (~$4k loss in annual business for Lander), not to mention the clients I brought often ended up revisiting, as most of them were new to the location. At this point, I've essentially given up on using this place for meetings. Most unfortunate, go me, is that I genuinely like the staff and the service. In this day and age, with the technology and data available to understand purchasing patterns and customer demand, consistently having enough food on hand should be a solvable problem. Isolated events happen, but the frequency shows a lack of tracking business metrics by ownership.
