It was fine and easy to drink but not much smooth balance I've had with other matcha like Eleventh House in my hometown or Rabble's incredible Lawnmower doing watermelon with the green tea.

Their menu offers a favorite of coffee, teas, and sandwiches for food. Note that all syrups flavors are pumps over homemade. I was between some items but the staff member highly recommended the seasonal Pumpkin, Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso (med- 20oz). I changed the milk to oatmilk ($1 upcharge) and my total was $9.30. This is a bit pricey for how much I like to spend on coffee out but the flavor was amazing! A bit sweet but I found myself continuously going back for another sip. I would certainly come back for their seasonal offerings but couldn't sustain visiting sadly on a regular cadence. Either way, stop by Pepper Park Coffee to give them a try!

The café was quite busy when we arrived but we had reservations, so got the seating quickly to which clearly shows how popular this place is among locals. Despite the crowd, the atmosphere felt lively rather than overwhelming. For food, we ordered the Kaseria and a panini, and both dishes were really good. The kaseria was flavorful and well prepared, with a nice balance of ingredients that made it satisfying without being too heavy. The panini was equally enjoyable--crispy on the outside, fresh on the inside, and served hot, just the way it should be.The pancake was good The coffee deserves a special mention. It was rich, smooth, and complemented the brunch perfectly. Even with the café being busy, the service was efficient and the staff managed things well, keeping everything moving without long waits. Overall, Brunch Cafe is a great spot for a weekend brunch. Good food, quality coffee, and a lively atmosphere make it worth the visit. I would definitely come back again to try more items from their menu.

Sure, why not? They also have deep fried dumplings, shrimp tampura, karrage, fries, and corndogs. I love snacks. Its a little place in a plaza on Route 14. The inside won't disappoint with it's cute deco and seating. You can either order online, on touch screen or at the cashier counter.

I appreciate that the place is dog friendly too. The owners and staff here are fantastic and make you feel immediately welcomed. They take time to educate you on their selections and share some of the unique history of this place. I enjoyed the bourbon, on ice, very much, and also tried a shot of amaretto and a tequila. I will definitely be back to try more of their spirits, as everything I tried was smooth, flavor filled, and just left me wanting more! Thank you, Spirit Water, and Funnier By The Lake Comedy, for a memorable Friday night experience.

Loved the fact that he asked if we had ever been - he gave us the low down and explained the drink menu. They have lots of different choices for beer & spirits. The Amaretto Stone Sour (receipt said 10 oz for $12 - it was more like 5 ounces) & Vodka Elderflower ($6) were both very good. They also sell spirits by the bottle, hats & other items. Great place to pick up something local! The place doesn't appear to serve food and they have a couple seating areas away from the bar both inside & outside where you congregate with friends. I will admit I had a tough time picking just one drink to have so I will be back!

This is not a one-off; it happens all the time. I travel all over the world, and this is hands down the slowest service ever, with attitude!

You can go to Dunkin Donuts 2 minutes from here, and you will be through the drive-through line in 2 minutes. It's too bad; this location is close to my house.

The inside was quite clean, and there were a few seats available along the window. The owner was very kind and explained the different ways to order donuts because they had several menus, including one for the holidays. We decided to get half a dozen donuts. And as we watched, they do make the donuts fresh. And then added the toppings that we ordered. The smell inside was amazing. We had a variety of donuts, one with bacon one that was lavender, etc. They were warm and delicious! We cut a piece of each of them and enjoyed them all. They do not offer yeast donuts only cake donuts. But the cake dough batter used seems to be a lighter version of cake donuts so not as filling. Highly recommend!

When I arrived, one person was working in an extremely smoky donut shop with an awful smell and presented me after 40 minutes of waiting (even though I was in time for my pickup) with the exact same doughnut just dipped in vanilla chocolate or strawberry icing. When I asked him if they do a variety of donuts, he said the company has changed and they don't do any of the donuts that are currently posted not only on the website but also in store & on yelp. Either he's lying and just didn't want to do the work or this is true and is disappointing. I will also note that he touched every single donut by hand with no gloves on, and the donut shop was in complete disarray.
