My friend got tea and was given a small hot water kettle. They had a few selections of tea to choose from. I had the Country fried steak and eggs with a side of pancakes. Had asked for extra gravy and had my eggs over easy. The potatoes tasted like they were made from scratch. Everything was very delicious and there was so much food. My friend had French onion bowl with cheese. Definitely recommend to get the cheese and it is melted on the side of the bowl. You can ask to have separate checks and you do pay at the counter.

Not bad. I was told the gravy is made from scratch. Ummm not true. The "gravies " they use for any…read moreof their hot sandwiches are all that generic cheap usual gravy you get anywhere. UNLESS all diners use the same recipe. Anyway, disappointing. The hot turkey was not good and no cranberry sauce. Why three stars then? Well, the breakfast is good. The soups were good. The service was great. Those hot sandwiches need to be taken off the menu.

I will start by saying they have a separate vegan menu and a separate gluten-free menu ~ not just…read moresymbols on their regular menu to indicate the designation. Driving by on Ogden, you would NEVER know this restaurant is here. It is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay in the corner, so just walk in that direction and you will find the door. It is teeny, tiny with only 19 stations that are a combination of booths and tables. Because of the smallness, a number of those stations are located in undesirable locations. Deal with it. Abundant selectins of breakfast and lunch offerings ~ something for everyone. Portions are generous and served hot. Wait time was average. All staff were very friendly. Carry-out available. Only downside ~ the parking lot is small. They are doing everything right.

I also ordered a pastry, that was fine. When I returned to tell the cashier the extra hot coffee was cold she walked to the kitchen and asked if she could give me a free hot coffee. Just wow. This was my first time here and my last. I took the coffee she fixed and my pastry and walked out. The overall ambience it's a nice coffee shop. But I am not sure who owns it they just need to do better overall with attentiveness to your clients.

Parking was a…read morebut difficult as there is only a lot in the back of the building but the extra effort is very much worth it. Oak + Bean source their own coffee beans to create a wide variety of coffee types and flavors. Browsing the list, there were plenty of offerings that intrigued me to come back more than once. They also offer teas, snacks, baked goods, and other soft drinks. If those aren't enough, they double as an evening wine bar offering all wine types, mimosas, and some beers. I loved the murals all over inside and elevated design otherwise. They have monthly events to engage the community. Loved stopping by Oak + Bean and would certainly come back when passing through the area. Tip: Wine Happy Hour is M-F, 4-6pm!

Even when I arrived by bike, it took me a few minutes to locate it. Their signs are small. Glad I found it though. The barista's and staff here are friendly and helpful. They don't make the exact drink that I prefer, but they did manage to concoct something that actually tasted better. Next time I'm there I'll have to ask what they did so that I can whip it up at home. They have a good deal of sandwiches and pastries in addition to their drink menu, and plenty of seating space. I'll be back. Cheers.

I have tried the cinnamon bliss latte and the brown sugar latte, both were yummy. They have a nice variety of fresh pastries and sandwiches. The pastries are very flakey and I am not sure they are worth the price for the quality. In my opinion, the interior is what makes this cafe special. I love an adaptive reuse cafe. There are a few rooms in the cafe which provide pleasant nooks and many places to sit. There are many plants and art works around the cafe which give it a cozy vibe. It is a great space to work, study, or hang with friends.

And while it may be a little difficult to find it, it proves the maxim that good things are worth looking for (if that's not a maxim, it is now). The owner roasts his own coffee beans, roasts chicken in house, uses orgcanic greens, makes his own salad dressing, and makes soups from scratch daily. Plus, he serves breakfast, with all the accoutrements one would want. I enjoyed a fresh cup of coffee, some scrambled eggs with sausage, and an English muffin. It was all tasty. The star of the show, however, was the sample of lentil soup he gave me. As I was paying for my bill, I said to Ashraf, the owner: "I'll be back next week to buy some beans from you. And if I like your soup, I'll buy that too. Trust me." "I do trust you," Ashraf said. "And I trust my soup. You'll be back" He was right. I tried the soup that afternoon. It's delightful, flavorful, and made with love. I went back two days later, and bought my coffee beans, and a quart of lentil soup. This is my new favorite place.
