The drinks are delicious and the food is hearty, they don't skimp you out on portion sizes... as you can see with the brunch platter. They do other cafe classics as well like bagels and toasts. I always appreciate cafes that feel stuck in the 2000s. Büna definitely gives this vibe with their mismatched furniture and inspirational art. It's a comfort I always look for when I enjoy my morning coffee.

My order was ready in less than 10 minutes. I ordered the bacon, pecorino cream and egg and a sausage roll. The sausage roll was amazing with crispy pastry! The sandwich was also really good but very rich with the pecorino cream. Would have loved some arugula or tomato to balance it out. I could not decide between all the lunch sandwiches so I definitely need to come back!

But when I looked at the ice cream selection, I decided to treat myself with a scoop of their Cookie Monster ice cream. The staff member also let me sample some of their ice cream flavors too, which was nice of them to do. The ice cream scoop wasn't stupidly expensive, so I thought it was great value. There is some indoor seating, but not much. Overall, I would definitely come back and I would tell others to come by too.

Took a jaunt (.5) mile walk to check out this bright, airy, and immaculate social spot. Weather grabbing a bite, meeting up, studying or simply grabbing a bite you'll be satisfied. The table next to me got a panini with fries and a bowl. Both were gorgeous and deliciously plated with dinner sized portions. I, however, kept it simple. I got pancakes without blueberries, 1 egg, and bacon. Everything is a la cart. I was expecting Big Box pancakes. These were anything but! They were perfectly cooked with a light crisp, very dense but airy. Vanilla sewn in each bite. They were THICK too. I was pleasantly surprised. Initially thought the price was exorbitant but the taste and appeal made up for it. Eggs were scrambled to perfection and seasoned too. I requested salt before I tasted them. So glad I didn't add any. Bacon was regular nothing major to rotate. Now the Sakura Latte wasn't as pretty as the one on Insta but it was delicious none the less. Not sweet but no earthy either. Cherry after taste but smooth due to the milk. I did add a sugar free vanilla syrup. The Cafe is beautiful. Contemporary and masculine furniture with feminine accompaniment due to the vast windows and pillows that let in a lot of natural light. Its definitely worth a stop if you're near. I really enjoyed my visit.

The ambiance is local diner with a personalized mural in the wall. It felt like stumbling on a local beloved eatery. Service was quick, coffee was hot, hot, mimosas were light.

There was a little snafu with my order being sent in so I had to confirm after 30 minutes of waiting and they resubmitted the ticket and gave me two free drink tokens for the wait -- so kind! Really lovely customer service. I had both an iced espresso tonic and an iced vanilla matcha latte. Both were fab! My only complaint is that drinks here only come in one size and that size isnt big enough for me. Give me the 24 oz of caffinated goodness! Overall loved my food and drinks, the great customer service, and lovely casual vibe. A little crowded but worth the wait.

The caramel latte is my favorite, their oat milk has a very rich taste. The Dirty Horchata was new for me. It reminded me of a Chai latte.

Their chicken empanadas are a 10/10 and their breakfast sandwiches are great as well. Despite different baristas the consistency of their coffee keeps me coming. Their employees are also so sweet.

So here's what happened...I was researching fried chicken spots, I found one, I went to the spot, I…read moreordered their food, I got the food, I was skeptical, I ate it, and it exceeded my expectations!! Good people when I tell you that the Fried chicken at this establishment is delectable...STAMP THAT!! On my initial review of this place, @janess_backstage_kitchen , I took a bite out of the Halal chicken, and waffle, (pictured-$12) and I gave it the Big Schlim grade of DELICIOUS!! So I finished the review, and started pushing. While pushing, I kept dipping into the container with the chicken in it, taking bites. I did this so much so, that I got viciously honked at while stopped at a green light. I crushed that meal before I arrived at my next destination...and I wasn't even hungry!! That's some good a** chicken my good folks...please believe me...it's officially STAMPED!! So this spot is a licensed, black owned, startup establishment that I decided to give some go too...I'm super happy that I did. With curbside service only, Janess's has a very simple menu that includes shrimp and grits (pictured $12), Belgian Waffles, Halal fried chicken, hand cut Zentachi fries, and a house made mumbo sauce chicken combo that comes with a Belgian waffle. That's it. For now!! I also ordered their shrimp and grits (pictured-$12), that came in a container with enough room to feed 3. It smelled good, but aesthetically it didn't look that great. I took a bite and seemed it DECENT. But once again, I pulled off and I kept dipping!! So this one is officially DELICIOUS!! The more, and more i dipped into these meals, the better they got!! Customer service was excellent (these are some truly kind hearted folks good people), and online ordering is easy. Now In order to perfect your meal, they take their time. So add 30 mins to your pick up time. Online ordering was simple, and parking was available. Good people...trust me on this one...get the chicken, be patient, and enjoy.
