I ordered the sourdough biscuit with sausage, egg, and provolone cheese and an ice dirty chai with oat milk. The sausage was delicious, but the biscuit itself was very...powdery? Almost like it had flour sprinkled on top. I ordered an iced chai and received a hot chai. It was VERY thick. I couldn't finish it. I didn't ask to make a new one because they were so busy and I didn't want to make everyone else wait for them to remake mine.

Smooth, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. The barista was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and even took the time to point me toward a cool used guitar shop nearby, which was a nice personal touch. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it a great place to sit and enjoy a coffee. I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm back in Fort Wayne!

The espresso was perfect and hit the spot (I needed all the caffeine for my drive home), and the latte was really good. It tasted just like pumpkin pie, but was slightly on the sweeter side. I would have probably asked for a little less sweetener, but that's just my taste. It's also very nice inside with lots of seating. I didn't try any pastries this time, but they look delicious.

Drinks: Vietnamese Condensed Milk Iced Coffee (Ca Phe Sua Da) - The coffee flavor is strong but not bitter. They whip their condensed milk before putting the coffee in it. 5/5 stars. Peach and Passionfruit Tea - Both flavors were really good. You can't go wrong with either. 5/5 stars. Appetizer: Spring Roll Flight - Tried this even though it's a bit pricy. There's a bit too much filler for my liking, so this one was just ok for me. They do make them quite large. 2.5/5 stars. Vermicelli Bowl: Beef Vermicelli Bowl - A different family member ordered this, so I took a few bites to taste the bowl. It was ok, but a little bland for my tastes. I recommend eating the whole thing fresh, cause it won't reheat well. 3/5 stars. Pho: Sister's Special Pho - Good flavor, not too sweet or overpowering. They give a lot of noodles and a decent amount of beef. 5/5 stars. Spicy Beef Pho - They add some sort of chili oil to make it spicy. This is delicious, but you will suffer if you only like medium heat like me. At first, I could power through, because I really liked the flavor. Halfway through, my nose was running, and I was regretting listening to my taste buds. It's very good, but you will probably suffer. I saw other people around me eat it with no problem. I guess I'm a wimp, lol. You've been warned. 5/5 stars. The place is decorated nicely. It's cute and modern and fun. Service is good and decently attentive (for Asian standards, if you know what I mean). Even on weird hours, this place gets customers. The food is delicious. I've been here twice, and I leave happy every time. Highly recommend.

Sister Pho (near Purdue FW campus, Crescent/Hobson Road) - newest Pho shop in town…read more Sister Pho is relatively new to growing Fort Wayne Pho community. It is located in the strip mall near the Purdue Fort Wayne campus housing. The shop is very modern, attractive, comfortable and inviting. It feels like Sister Pho is targeting a younger 20 something market - perhaps the nearby student population. The atmosphere is very youthful with Nelly and Ne-Ya music playing on the TV. The service team was very youthful, kind and customer focused. You will access the menu on the QR code - no paper option. Their menu is very large and attractive. Sandwiches, Pho noodle soups, vermicelli bowls, fried rice, special rice dishes and spring rolls comprise the menu. It is my opinion that their prices are higher than the average FW Pho restaurant (or at least my regular Pho place). Note: I included clips of the online menu for your review here. Here is a rundown on the things we ordered: -Spring Rolls: two very fresh tasting shrimp & pork rolls for $8. The insides were very fresh and light tasting. The shrimp and pork were tender, soft and nicely cool/crisp to taste. The peanut sauce was very tasty. It was moderately thick and had a bolder peanut/soy/chili/garlic taste. -Egg Roll: two thin and crispy rolls for $6. The wrapper was soft with a nice crisp. It was a bit oily as most are. The insides were very fresh. The small pork pieces were tender and tasty as well. The side of sweet chili dipping sauce was perfect - sweet with a slight zing/kick. -Crab Rangoon: two large pieces for $7. The wanton wrapper was nicely fried to a slightly oily crisp. Edges were more crunchy than the soft middle. The crab/creme cheese filling had a more pronounced crab flavor - greater than most Rangoon's. The filling was also soft, creamy and smooth to taste. Overall...the facility was very attractive and the food was very good. Honestly, I wasn't very hungry so we went with the lighter and smaller menu items. The Pho, while listed with an above average price, looked very appetizing and worth a try.

A quiet atmosphere is perfect for a first date, coffee with the girls, or just a quick pick-me up pop in. Even with a large line for the grand opening the service was lively and inviting. They provided a wonderful first experience that definitely has me wanting to come back. The coffee was delicious and they can whip up a varieties of flavors for you (even if it is off menu). You can get a hot, iced or frozen drinks as well. One thing worth mentioning is their coffee sizes. Most mom and pop coffee shops give small drinks but not Hard Pressed. The Risser's made their sizes very generous. There iced drinks had the perfect amount of ice to coffee ratio and the hot drinks were the perfect temperature. Making the experience that much more enjoyable. Outside of coffee they offer tea, tea lattes, smoothies, refreshers, hot cocoa, milk, lemonade and bottled beverages. The selection of tasty treats also had a great variety. From cakes and cookies to scones and cinnamon rolls, you are sure to find a tasty treat for everyone. The grand opening of Hard Pressed was much anticipated by not only those in Hicksville but those in surrounding towns as well. I myself traveled 15 minutes to participate in the grand opening and I was not disappointed. If you did not get a chance to attend, you should make your way there soon. I'm looking forward to many more visits myself.
