I stopped in recently with a group of friends for brunch and I already know it won't be our last visit. All of the tables inside were full so we grabbed a table on their patio deck (there are more seats outside than inside fyi) and then took turns holding the table while others went inside to order. You do go inside to a counter to order (conveniently located by the pastry case) and take a number and wait for your yummy food to be brought out to you. I opted to go with Chilaquiles with pork belly and it was soooooo good. Highly recommend. It's a very generous serving also and I wasn't able to completely finish my plate. Everyone else at my table absolutely raved about their dishes too so I don't think any option you go with will be a bad one. Check them out for your next brunch or lunch outing!

I noticed the barista using spoons for drinks that were previously in what appeared to look like dirty water from my view (literally a brown color). I ordered the balsamic avocado toast and unfortunately it came with a tiny brown looking bug. I immediately threw away my food. I should have left as soon as I noticed the signs of uncleanliness behind the counter. I would not recommend this place to anyone . They need a health inspection for sure as well as better management. Go to 7 Brew.

Cool, they're overdue for an updated review. The weather was much nicer the last time I was here, and the service was much, much better than I remember. I had asked if they had pup cups and the barista said she didn't think they had whipped cream, but then excitedly corrected herself. Score! While I didn't see a cortado on the menu, I asked if they could make me one (with an enthusiastic yes!). I also ordered an iced oatchata and a donut, and we then sat outside in the patio. Bucky made friends with everyone in the area. The cortado was very pleasant. It had that "paper cup" taste as most cortados will when served in one, but it was still pretty good. Mild and smooth, and not terribly hot, too. The oatchata was a delight. Super refreshing, and the donut was also great. Bucky also gives 5 stars to the pup cup, to the point where he also ate the cup. They still have a very charming and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend when the weather isn't brutal.

Last weekend, I decided to wait in the line and it went by much faster than I thought it would. We ordered the iced cookie butter matcha with an almond croissant. This might've been one of the best almond croissants I've had too, it was flaky on the outside and soft, sweet. I'm for all things cookie butter and this one did NOT disappoint. It was a perfect balance of sweet with still that lovely matcha flavor. I went with a friend who doesn't like matcha and even he was enjoying it. The second time I went is when they were running a matcha promo that they announced on their instagram (definitely follow the there!) and so I went for my midday pickup and there was a small line of about 7 people. It went by pretty fast. We were intrigued by the horchata milk and the employee let us try a bit and we were convinced that was the one. We got the horchata matcha and the banana matcha with banana cream. I definitely loved both of them but if I had to pick a favorite, it would def be that banana matcha. Perfect balance of that real tasting banana flavor (I dislike any of the artificial fruit flavorings) with the well-balanced matcha. The employees were all super friendly as they even encouraged us to ask for modifications after we got our drinks. Overall, i'll definitely be back and I 1000% get the hype now!!

I got a drip coffee and my husband got a loose leaf hot tea, both were perfect. The flavor was exactly what you look for in a cup of coffee. We ordered a cheese thing that was brought out warm and toasty, and it was so delicious and perfectly sweetened! My husband got the avocado toast, and it was definitely worth the price, it was a nice hefty slice of sourdough bread with lots of avocado and mozzarella, very filling. I got the hangover breakfast bagel, which was excellent! The bagel was so soft with the perfect amount of chew. Loaded with egg, bacon, cheese, I did get the ailoli on the side and I'm glad I did because honestly, it was a bit strong, especially for breakfast. Everything was great, the staff is super friendly and patient with first time guests wanting to explore the menu. This is definitely going to be a regular for us!

There was no one ordering before or after me so I expected to get my drink relatively quickly. Almost 20 minutes later, still no drink and the baristas were just standing around. I checked in with the cashier and it seems like they forgot my order and began to fulfill other people's orders who came in after me during that 20 minute period. Once I got my drink, it tasted like watered down beet juice and nothing like "red velvet" or chocolate. Overall, bad experience and won't be coming back to wait almost half an hour on $7 watered down beet juice.

We tried four drinks all with no sweet, but somehow the Adeni Chai was still sweet; Yemeni latte was good but I would prefer not sipping too much leaves when I was down to last 15% of the cup; cortado was ok, and Turkish coffee was sour. Overall the quality was not as impressive as I read from the Texas store, I will give its matcha line a try the next time just to make sure I do not miss all its star items.
