    I came across this place while I was in the neighborhood and it immediately caught my attention…read morebecause of the cute, outdoorsy vibe. I wasn't sure when I'd get a chance to come back since I don't live nearby, so when I joined a book club meetup and found out it was being held here, I was so excited! I love how many different seating options they have. There are indoor and outdoor tables, a grassy area, and even swings, they really have something for everyone :) They also offer yoga classes in the outdoor area, and it looks like they regularly have different activities and events going on based on the posters they have up. As for the coffee, there's a cute little walk-up counter where you place your order, and they call your name when it's ready. The staff was really friendly, and I thought it was a great idea to have all the event and activity information displayed right by the ordering area. My latte was excellent, and I love that they offer ceramic cups if you're staying to enjoy your coffee there. I honestly loved the vibe of this place. It has such a welcoming, wholesome, community feel, and I can't wait to come back again :)

    Saw this place on social media and had the chance to visit on a nice sunny day! It was a bit…read moreconfusing at first where to order, but once I saw the menu, there were so many options to choose from. I saw they had a Seasonal Menu, so I tried the Strawberry Matcha Oat Milk Latte. I had to wait a couple of minutes for my drink and it tasted just okay. The matcha wasn't as rich as I'd like it to be. But I would love to try their Lavender Latte next time! The ambiance is also so nice, there's lots of places to work at both indoors and outdoors.

I finally had the pleasure of going here, and it wasn't too busy. The person who took my order was super nice and helpful in narrowing down items to try. Everything here is made to order, so they do recommend using the app. Especially if you are in a hurry. I ordered: 1. Vietnamese coffee with salted cream: Surprisingly, this was a little sweet to me. I do recommend sipping it, instead of drinking it through a straw to get the full flavor. 2. Croffle w/ nutella: This was crispy and chewy. The nutella gave it a messy yumminess 3. Egg, cheese, and bacon croissant: This was delicious and surprisingly it didn't have that greasy oily feeling. It is very hearty. 4. Perfect green smoothie: My co-worker loved this and found it very delicious. Perfect balance of all the items. I look forward to coming back soon and will pre-order next time.

The…read moreinterior is both spacious and cozy at the same time, and there's just so much to look at - plants, art, vintage, animal skulls, cool furniture, mannequins, etc. Overall, I like this place more as a plant shop and less for coffee. I've purchased a little spider plant and an alocasia polly, which have both been great. The employees are knowledgeable about plants and give great recommendations, especially regarding succulents. They also have a fun selection of cards and gifts by local artists, although some of the prices are a bit unreasonable (like $40 for a tiny planter pot). The coffee shop is fine, but less exciting. Most recently, I tried the Bicerin off their seasonal specials, which was a Cortado with Nutella. I thought the Nutella would be somewhat mixed in for sweetness, but it was literally just a teaspoon of Nutella in my drink. I've tried their Chaga Matcha in the past, and it was also just okay. Will return for the plants and ambiance!

It's easy to get lackluster service these days so I want to shout out the team behind the counter as a whole. They were doing what they had to do, learning, and efficient. The price of the drinks are a little high, but once you taste the freshness of the ingredients and drinks, it's understandable. They also had a special the day I came in. Looking forward to bringing my sister when she is in town. Keep up the good work!

    Been curious about this place for a while, but have always been put off by the pricing. Starting at…read more$8+ for a tiny jar of pudding and similarly $8+ starting for a drink just seems so greedy to me. But we were out with friends and wanted a dessert post-hike, so why the hell not? Service is fast. Not a lot of seating inside, but there are a couple additional small tables for 2-4 people outside on the patio. Chose the cheapest item on the menu, which was the taro ube sago for $7.95 before tax. Honestly, it's pretty hard to mess up taro ube sago, so at best, I'd say it only meets the standard. It was more of a dessert soup than a pudding, which is what I expected. Serving size definitely way too small for the portion amount, even if you say the glass jar itself costs ~$2 (and that feels like a generous estimate). I've made an entire pot of taro sago that served 15 people that cost about $8 in raw ingredients. Personally don't see the value in coming back, but if you're looking for Chinese desserts in a pinch, then this place does the job.

The host was very friendly and explained that once we were ready to order, we could head to the register in the back. After placing our order for a group of four, our drinks arrived within just a few minutes. They looked exactly like the menu descriptions and tasted just as good. The food was fresh, hot, and clearly made with quality ingredients. We all especially loved the tomato soup. We also ordered a waffle to share as an appetizer, and it came topped with large, beautiful strawberries that tasted amazing. The portion size was generous. I ordered the Fresh Mozzarella sandwich on ciabatta bread and asked for it toasted, and it was phenomenal. I did not have very high expectations since this was a quick, last minute choice and we did not even check reviews beforehand, but I am so glad we gave it a try. The inside of the restaurant has a cute and colorful vibe, and everything felt clean and well kept. I will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu

My first time here but my girlfriend who was visiting from Texas has eaten here recently while flying through to see her brother. This place very close to SFO airport so a great place to have breakfast Brunch or Lunch before picking up or dropping off at SFO as only 12 to 15 min based on traffic. THE FOOD: Cortado 10/10, Ice Tea 9/10 Flat White 8/10 (from Australian in our foursome) Hot Chocolate 9/10 Mixed salad Amazing. Soft boiled eggs perfectly cooked and balsamic on point. They have great sourdough served with delicious jam. We also had the prosciutto fig and goat cheese which was 10/10 and our friend from Texas enjoyed her GF Sammie. Husband had the Tuna Melt which he said 9/10 only because of the bread, he said 10 if he's had it on the acme sourdough ;-) Next time... The Place: Great location with lots of parking but not this past Sunday as huge event in town but in general loads of street and lot parking near by. Quaint seating inside and outside seating on both sides of this corner location. You order inside and seating is first come first serve so I imagine depending on the time of day it could be hard for any groups over 4 Employee Interaction: Super until the last person we interacted with. You order inside and they bring stuff out as made which is just the nature of busy brunch place. For example we had food come out in staggered spurts which is what you expect so as a example our friend who ordered first (10 min before us ) got her fig Sammie first but we got half our drinks first. Our food was staggered over a 15 min period also very expected at this type of brunch place. The problem came when the lady would brought the last food item the GF item and she said hey are we missing anything and I said yes my cortado and friend who ordered 10 min before we did so half and hour ago said she never got her hot coco. She was Super polite and brought them pretty quickly . We said thanks for finding them for us and she lectured us on how busy they are etc etc and were like WHOA THERE we did not complain although my friend could have as he drink came after she had eaten and 30 min after she ordered and yet we never complained. My complaint is with this staff members attitude, and I "assume" it came from dealing with folks expecting the food or drinks to all come out at same time and thats not how these types of places work. WE GET THAT and again it would have been a 5 had we not been lectured after thanking her for hunting down our drinks ;-) Will I be back SURE the food was great

French posters decorated the walls while fresh roses adorned tables. Order w/the cashier and wait for your name to be called.

Start calling the orders out! The woman this afternoon had kind of an attitude when I asked again, which prompted this review. Girl, it's been sitting there for a long while and you know I was waiting on it because we literally spoke about it. Why are you acting like I'm being annoying by asking for the food I paid for and am waiting on? Like I said, the food is good but the service needs work. The prices are fairly high, which corresponds with the food, but I shouldn't have to go around begging for my food after I've already checked in once.
