The pork sausage bowl was pretty good with scrambled eggs, sautéed spinach, shredded cheddar, avocado, habanero, potatoes, and salsa. Solid breakfast, but it was served a bit cold. The coffee was good but their pour over machine wasn't working that day. Service was okay & efficient. We sat inside the cafe which is bright and clean, but you can also sit in the hotel dining area which is connected to the cafe.

OVERALL Fresh food, quick table-side service after ordering…read moreat the counter, and a relaxed hotel-café ambiance make Carte Blanche a very solid breakfast choice, especially if you're already at Shashi Hotel or in the Shoreline area....coffee is so-so and you're likely better off taking a walk over to Google Cafe for this one (from taste and price!). Overall solid fresh food (pricey but I guess normal for the area), knocked off a star for coffee being very average and service being less enthusiastic or friendly than I expected. AMBIANCE We came down for breakfast in the early morning to grab a quick hot breakfast and coffee and it was easy enough to get to and solid hours for the working folks. Fairly quiet spot and just the usual buzz of folks taking calls or having chit chat with coffee. It's right inside the Shashi Hotel and has a clean minimalist feel. There's indoor seating (about 3-4 tables) within the cafe but most folks just found a spot within the hotel dining area with more booths and long tables for coworking, and tables by the fireside, or outside by the pool. It's pretty comfortable spot to work in though some of the floor charging ports were often a trip hazard! SERVICE You order at the counter...(and can't say the folks taking the order didn't seem particularly enthusiastic working there but otherwise we got what we ordered and all substitution requests were honored), take a numbered placard, and sit down wherever you want. We dined in but you can obviously get to-go. In 10-15 minutes or so, the staff bring your food out to the table, which is pretty efficient and keeps things casual. Food was prepared quickly, arrived hot and well-presented, and they bring you silverware -- which is ideal if you're trying to grab breakfast before meetings or a flight! The overall atmosphere is calm and polished "urban resort lobby café" than crowded street coffee shop, which fits well if you're staying at the hotel or meeting colleagues nearby. FOOD The breakfast menu leans toward elevated kind of price-y but limited. There's only 4 main breakfast items (if you're not a pastry person in the morning). As an aside, the pastries in the case also didn't look super fresh. While limited in menu, everything we tried tasted fresh and was pretty solid -- a bit pricey but hey for the speed and fresh, healthy feel it was fine. The avocado toast came on hearty sourdough with scrambled eggs and bright toppings (loved the edamame in the salad), making it feel more like a full meal. The pork sausage breakfast bowl was solid too with scrambled eggs, potatoes, spinach, cheddar, avocado, salsa, and a touch of habanero heat that made it comforting but still interesting. The fruit and yogurt bowl balanced things out nicely with Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, granola, and honey, so you can go lighter if you don't want something heavy first thing in the morning! Would recommend this or the avocado toast if you're looking for something lighter but want to get the greens in.

7 Leaves Cafe is one of my favorite boba and milk tea shops since their OC days and I'm so glad…read morethat I get to have it in the Bay Area as well now. I was also delighted when they opened this location because it's quite close to where I live and it's become my default 7Leaves. My favorite drink is the Assam Milk Tea, it always hits the spot and the taste is just amazing. The House Coffee is a close second and I'll get that if I want some caffeine instead. Order on their app for convenience and also to earn Leaves for rewards once you accumulate enough!

Because, once again, I was distracted by the quality of the food, and there would be no way for me to do anything else, but to eat! Today, I was in the mood for something more than a salad (much as I wanted to preset what I had the first time coming here, I made a concerted effort to order something else...), thus I chose the Forager Flatbread. It took less time to make this time (roughly about five minutes after ordering), and when it came out, I marveled at how it looked like a work of art! Just beautiful! Each piece of herbed formage blanc flatbread had a nice, crunchy bottom (but not blackened) and a slightly tanginess, with a a good amount of "hen-of-the-wood" mushrooms, sweet roasted garlic and a bed of arugula. My, oh, my! My first bite was a multi-level extravaganza! The crunch of the bread, followed by the aroma of the herbs and arugula, then the saltiness of the cheese, the sweetness of the roasted garlic, the earthiness of the mushrooms - all came together as just a wonderful work of culinary art! This being my first time eating today, my saliva glands just fired off at first bite, causing a bit of intense pain from too much saliva shooting out. But, seriously, this was a very delicious entree, that I enjoyed from start to finish! Bravo for this second joyous experience!

One small thing I've noticed is that sometimes the staff forget my request to leave out the coffee jelly in my Salted Cream Coffee and add it anyway. I know coffee jelly comes with the drink by default, but sometimes I prefer it without the jelly because I just want to enjoy the coffee flavor itself without anything changing the taste or texture. That said, the staff are always very nice about it and are happy to help remove the coffee jelly when I ask. So overall, it's never been a big issue for me, and I really appreciate how friendly and accommodating they are
