"Put Your Hand in the Hand, Jesus is Just all Right With Me, Eve of Destruction, etc." While some professed followers of Jesus wage Crusade in the Mediterranean and East, claimingthis Spiritual Superiority equal to Al Quaida, Islamic Jihad, Ultra Orthodox Hebrews, etc. this campus seems devoted to building community and the Spiritual lives of attendees. Child care, counseling, study classes, youth, and I do not know what else. This little bistro is a piece of this. We ordered 2 coffees, an egg-bacon and cheese croissant, ham-havarti sandwich, blueberry and pumpkin muffins. You will not find many leafy greens or vegetables in the menu items. You will find reasonsbly priced fast-food style sandwiches, an astounding array of caffeinated drinks and a relaxing, unhurrird, quiet spot with a fireplace in cold weather. Meanwhile, watching community members come and go, walk the campus, catch the preschoolers, etc. I see an international, diverse cross section of Our Family Human. My kind of Fellowship. Amen!

I got La Fresa which has strawberry cold foam and after mixing it, I liked it. I will definitely be back to try more coffee and their other food options.

One of my coworkers used to rave about the coffee here. I finally got to try it! We visited three…read moretimes in a 2-week span. The first time we went, we ordered Cafe de la Olla and La Morena- both with oat milk and I asked them to double check the syrups did not contain dairy. I was told all was good so we enjoyed our lattes and our daughters shared a hibiscus refresher. On our second and third visit we ordered again, La Morena and one other latte. I asked again if the syrups contained any dairy and was told no. We ordered again with oat milk. On the second visit, my husband had stomach problems and I suspect dairy was somehow inadvertently used. On the third visit, I thought it may have been a fluke, my husband getting sick and so we ordered what we had the first time but this time I got sick. So, I'm not sure if there is dairy in the syrup or if they accidentally used cow milk in our lattes. Too bad too, because the flavors were tasty. We also appreciated the donuts from Doughside Donuts. I'm just not sure we will be ordered coffee from here anymore. The entry is really cute and you automatically see the variety of plants. They sell some jewelry and plant/Mexican pastry merchandise. Service was friendly but parking is not so great, especially when they are busy. Street parking only and it can be slim, especially on street sweep days. Cute shop but be weary if staying away from dairy.

Everyone, especially my dad because it was his first experience (and he's picky) loved the food, coffee drinks and liquid therapy!

Don't even get me started on all the specialty coffees and teas that are amazing and come with art! Everyone loves tea or coffee in my family, my go to is the Blue planet because I love spuralina but I got the yummy Chaggaccino (see photo). My dad loved his espresso! My nephews have returned for the 3rd time and one has some dietary restrictions and was happy they both devoured the strawberry chocolate pancakes. I'm vegan and so happy this is a brunch place that has numerous options instead of 1-2 choices at most other establishments. Super happy with they use JustEgg to make an egg dish vegan friendly! I had the pesto quesadilla with black beans and rosemary potatoes, it was delicious. Can't remember our servers name but she easily a group 6 adults, an almost 15 yo and an 11 yo. She returned to the table several times to ask if we needed refills, another drink and how we were enjoying everything. I feel it was a victory for me that I got my parents hooked on this place and they both loved the food! I love taking people here! Than you Naked Cafe and staff for a wonderful birthday brunch yesterday !

Fun Fact: "Manna" means an unexpected blessing, especially in a time of need! Atelier Manna was…read morecreated by Michelin-rated Chef Andrew Bachelier and his wife Larah as a creative workshop where food, art, wellness and community all come together. - Located in Leucadia, Atelier Manna is definitely not your typical brunch spot. It feels part restaurant, part art studio, part wellness experiment, and I mean that in the best way. The space is intimate and eclectic, with cookbooks, ceramics, artwork, salvaged materials and little pieces collected from the owners' travels throughout the space. You can tell there was a lot of thought put into making it feel personal rather than overly polished. Parking is do-able across the street by train , or on the street or surrounding neighborhoods. Best time to come when its not busy is W or TH morning! And then there's the food. We started with the Turkish eggs, soft poached eggs sitting over herbed yogurt, chili garlic butter and herbs with toast. The combination of the cool, tangy yogurt with the garlicky, slightly spicy butter was SO good. The toast is basically mandatory because you're going to want to swipe up every last bit of that sauce. P.S. dish comes with two eggs but you can order an extra egg if you have more people. The steak & tortilla was another standout. Snake River Farms zabuton steak with Spanish tortilla, black garlic romesco and Jimmy Nardello peppers. The steak was tender and cooked beautifully, but what really made the dish for me was the black garlic romesco. Rich, savory and slightly sweet, it tied everything together. And then came the torrija, Spanish-style French toast. This is not your basic brunch French toast. It's made with thick-cut sourdough, saffron vanilla, peach leaf oil, stone fruit and whipped labneh. The outside had that delicious caramelized/crispy texture while the inside was soft and custardy. The labneh was also such a good addition because it gave the dish a little tang to balance out the sweetness. Definitely a dish I'd order again. But we can't forget the drinks because Atelier Manna takes their non-alcoholic beverage program VERY seriously. Their "vitality tonics" are basically zero-proof cocktails with a wellness twist, and they are way more interesting than your standard juice or mocktail. I got the Mentawai: coconut, cold-infused green tea, lime leaf, pandan and astragalus, force carbonated. Light, refreshing and slightly tropical with enough acidity to keep it from tasting like straight coconut water. My friend got the Goldenrod, made with clarified cucumber, turmeric, honey and long pepper. Very refreshing and earthy with a little sweetness. Another friend went with the cold brew, which was smooth and fruity with a creamy body. I really appreciated that the drinks weren't just an afterthought. They actually felt like part of the experience. Overall, Atelier Manna is one of those places where you can tell the people behind it genuinely care about the details. The menu is creative without feeling like it's trying too hard, the space is unique and inviting, and the food manages to be indulgent while still incorporating a lot of fresh, thoughtful ingredients. Definitely a brunch spot worth the drive up to Leucadia, especially if you want something a little different from the usual eggs + mimosa situation.

Our food was so delicious and although the servings might appear on the smaller side, they're very filling and left us perfectly satiated.

My friend ordered the French toast and he said it was good, though he found the outside a bit too tough (like the outside of a well baked cinnamon roll). This would be a great place to do shared plates and we'll be back again!

This place is so aesthetic, and we had such a fun time at afternoon tea! It was $42 per person, and…read morewell worth it for the experience. We each got to order a pot of tea, so we decided to order 5 different ones to try out more flavors together. The ones we picked were: -Jasmine orange oolong - Coconut milk green tea - Earl grey lavender - Vanilla cream -Strawberry rose champagne oolong tea My top two favorites were the jasmine orange oolong and the coconut milk green tea. The only flavor that none of us enjoyed was the strawberry rose champagne oolong tea, so when it came time for refills, we switched it to the rouge provence. For the food, there were four finger sandwiches: chicken breast, smoked salmon, cucumbers, and chopped spinach. We all liked the chicken breast one the most, and felt like the cucumbers and chopped spinach could have been combined into one sandwich for a more balanced flavor. For sweets, there was the seasonal scone, fruit tart, macaron, and donut. I loved the scone with the butter and fruit preserves, as well as the fruit tart. The service was polite, but a bit slow and we waited a while before our food arrived. There was only one person who was serving the entire afternoon tea area, so it's understandable that there's a longer wait. All in all, I would definitely come back for another afternoon tea experience!

I like the layout of this one and it's larger...an absolutely perrrfect spot to chill and/or catch up with friends. The staffs' awesome customer service skills were consistent based on my past experiences at other locations. Just remember, you'll have to put the disk on the circle on the table so they can find you. I misunderstood and placed the disk anywhere on the table. Anyhow, that's the only location with this method which was new to me. The food was pretty good but wish my Yogurt, Fruit & Granola had more fruit to balance out the yogurt. Overall, I still had a positive experience and highly recommend Lofty Coffee to the Yelp Community :-)
