Fareground has become one of my absolute favorite cafés in Beverly Hills! I visit at least twice a week, and it never disappoints. My usual order is their vanilla latte with that delicious, sweet, creamy foam on top. It's absolutely divine! I also recently tried their rose matcha latte, and wow, it was incredible! Such a lovely combination of flavors. And the food is just as wonderful as the drinks! Their chicken Caesar wrap is one of my favorites, and the Thai steak wrap is equally delicious. Everything I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and consistently good. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu! The service is always fantastic, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. It's such a lovely little spot on Roxbury Drive, perfect for grabbing a delicious latte, enjoying lunch, or simply treating yourself to a little afternoon indulgence. After so many visits, I can confidently say Fareground is a Beverly Hills gem. Highly recommend!

thai steak wrap & miso chicken caesar wrap

Julie L.

it was so busy in there so the wait was a bit long. but the staff were so attentive and made sure to keep us updated when our food will be out. they were very friendly too. theres very limited seating so be cautious of that. to order food you have to go to the register instead of the kiosk, which was fine but we just didnt know. the wraps here are HUGGEEE and so filling. the miso chicken caesar wrap was everything we couldve wanted and more. literally can barely finish half of one. we also got the thai steak wrap and it was a tiny bit smaller than the miso pne (still big af tho) but it sooo filling, and yummy. the meat is very flavorful already and we didnt need the sauce on the side. for the matcha SO GOOD. i will say they did give us a strawb matcha instead of the banana one we ordered but we were too shy to correct them. it was still very yummy anyway tho. the coconut matcha was sooo refreshing and flavorful

Cute little place in BH Parking available on street Plenty of solid coffee drinks. A real cafe with breakfast and lunch options. Nice pastries available too Clean ingredients are highlighted

My friend highly recommended their matcha, so we made a point of stopping by -- but I think we caught them on an off day. They were using a different oat milk than usual, and it made the drink taste pretty different from what she remembered, so I'm not sure we got the full experience. That said, the staff here is SO friendly! We came in near closing time and they still agreed to make our matcha drinks for us, which I really appreciated and definitely didn't expect. Our friend also raved about their sandwiches, which we didn't get a chance to try this time. Next time I'll for sure be back for both the matcha and the sandwiches -- I have a feeling a normal day here is a much better showing!

Ok I cane to try their coffee and debated on food options. I heard alot of hype about Faregrounds and so I se to try it, I only ended up trying the salted vanilla foam latte and honestly it was just decent to me. Thought the coffee could have been better but it was not to me. The service was nice, the man at the cashier was amicable and gave good insight on what to get. The ambiance is like cafe/coffee spot and very small inside. I do want to one back one day tho to try their sandwiches! But after today I hope the hype is correct about the sandwiches. -Marshay D.

I stopped by here for pickup on a weekday just before the lunch rush around 11:30. For some reason I was expecting a larger seating area and space overall. It was coffee shop vibes. Regardless, the infamous crispy chicken Caesar wrap made me pretty happy for a wrap. Just the right amount of crispy and the right amount of miso Caesar. I have had many a chicken Caesar lunch wrap but this is probably the best one I've had. Will be back to try their burritos . Service was good and my wrap was ready 15 min after I called so just enough time to drive over and grab it.

Faregrounds is my go-to matcha spot in West LA. I love my matcha on the sweeter side, and this place isn't too sweet like La La Land but also not insanely earthy and bitter. Their miso chicken Caesar wrap with crispy chicken was also so delicious, and this summer they had a peaches and cream matcha seasonal special that was amazing. I ordered ahead to avoid the line and came early at 7:30am to avoid any crowds but this place deserves all the hype!

Banana cream foam latte = obsessed. Tastes like banana cream pie in a cup, sweet but not sugary, with a fluffy, velvety foam on top. Tasty af. Already planning my next visit.

I have been bamboozled by yet another breakfast burrito. I stopped by for a short rib breakfast burrito as the menu description made it sound really interesting and somewhat unique compared to the majority of those found throughout LA. The menu says this burrito comes with "eggs, short rib, crispy potatoes, fontina, pickled red onions, and gochujang aioli". The cashier also asked me what sauce I wanted which I thought was odd since the burrito already comes with the gochujang aioli, but she offered a cilantro, chipotle mayo, and "hot sauce". I went for the cilantro sauce getting confused and not thinking to ask about the gochujang. I also later found out the "hot sauce" is a calabrian hot sauce and not just any old "hot sauce". If that was mentioned I probably would've tried that but how many people think to ask what kind of "hot sauce" is used when it's not specified to begin with? The cross section looked decent but definitely so little short rib compared to the other photos and tik tok videos I've seen. Naive me should've known these were paid influencers getting special treatment, so obviously they're getting more short rib. The short rib itself had decent flavor but it was just so dry. The potatoes were not crispy at all and more like homestyle potatoes, soft. What really made things worse was the missing gochujang aioli and fontina cheese. There definitely was not any of it in here and I'm kicking myself for not bringing it up to the staff but honestly, it's something that shouldn't be forgotten to begin with. The cilantro sauce was basically sludge and very mild in flavor so it didn't elevate the burrito flavor much. To drink I tried the recommended Salted vanilla foam latte, although not too sweet, it didn't have much flavor. I couldn't help but notice the lack of cleaning too. I sat for almost an hour (9:30-10:18) before I saw anyone clean a table while many people had left tables dirty. Even when I sat at the first table and moved to a second table, I had to clean up spilled sauce, sticky residue, and wet areas on my tables to not dirty my own arms or phone. The space isn't very cozy and the interior tables are crammed together. I asked the cashier if the wi-fi works fine outside and she said the wi-fi "isn't very good and pretty spotty, it usually doesn't work outside". I was hoping to initially try their caesar wrap and ended up here for breakfast so I tried that and was disappointed but now I don't have plans to return for anything else.

This review is for drinks only. I tried the salted maple iced latte and it lives rent free in my head. I dream of this and need to stop by whenever I'm in the area. Perfectly sweet, perfectly creamy, perfectly coffee-ey. SALTED MAPLE LATTE, you'll thank me later.

Cassie H.

WOW... so the food here is AMAZING! I definitely will give them that... the Caesar wrap was absolutely delicious and thats what i came here for. My problem is the drinks... im not a coffee or matcha drinker at all, but I do love a chai latte, so this is what I ordered. When I got it and took the first taste, I automatically knew there was coffee in it. When I returned it, the girl looked and me and said "of course there is, its a latte... latte means coffee". I kind of blew this comment off and explained that I would like chai tea with milk and she agreed to remake it. What i got next was literally just hot water with a tea bag and foam. At this point I went in and just figured, ok this isnt working, so maybe I can just try a matcha since thats what they seem to do best. When I asked she looked at me blankly and said "sorry we just closed so I cant make anything else... you can come back next time and tell them that I said you could get something for free". She didnt give me her name, offer a refund, and by the way, they had closed 1 minute ago. Literally 1 minute. At this point I had to put the water in the trash and leave. Im sorry, but this was absolutely ridiculous! Don't have something on the menu if you dont even know how to make it properly... or maybe they need better training? It really ruined my experience and makes me question if ill be returning, which is really a shame because I did enjoy my meal.

This is one of best banana matcha in the area! It's very hard to find banana matcha which tastes good and not artificial or without taste. So happy I found this place. The sandwiches were fantastic, waited about 30 min for them because place was very busy but I didn't mind. The only thing is they gave me regular chicken to the wrap instead the crispy one I ordered. Taste of everything was fantastic, I'd recommend!

Their Matcha is amazing as well. They don't open up their food orders till 11am FYI . It's Bv hills so parking is hard to find.

New hidden gem in Beverly Hills . Walking distance to the infamous rodeo drive and all that Beverly Hills has to offer . There is indoor and outdoor seating and the food and coffee is phenomenal . My personal favorite is the Thai Basil Steak sandwich and the Spicy Don with eggplant instead of chicken . They have kosher meat from Rabbi's daughter and make vegetarian options which is also so nice . Service is quick . Can't wait to come back and try more menu items read more

Stopped by this morning on a whim, I got their breakfast burrito and an iced americano. The burrito was delicious you can taste the quality. In my opinion it was better than the one I had at the high end grocery store down the street. The iced American was good as well it did not have the acidity that a lot of other coffee shops have. I would definitely recommend trying this place out. read more

Coming here to write a shorter review than from Google bc i went ham on there. I didn't even get to write about the drinks or the service. Did i mention the miso wrap is amazing btw? I went to some of the surrounding cafes that are attempting the same but faregrounds is the OG with that so it cant even compare. As soon as someone mentions a drinks or food from somewhere im always like is it house made sauces/syrups, organic chicken, organic coffee.... if its no im going to faregrounds lol. Service is impeccable, the front staff really make you feel part of the family and want you to have the best experience. Love u guys!! see u tomorrow!! read more

Wow! I've eaten at Faregrounds a few times, but this past Thursday I went to get lunch and the place was jammed! The word is out on this place! Luckily I found a table for me and my friend just when the occupants were leaving, as the place filled up quickly. Their menu items have always been good, but some of the new additions are outrageously delicious. I had the Miso Wrap and it is now one of my favorites. My friend loved the place too. You might have to wait a little bit to get your food, but everything is worth it. It's not fast food - it's cooked to order, healthy, and so satisfying. Now I have to go back and order breakfast. One of my fave places in BH! read more

Walking into the establishment is welcoming. Friendly staff. Easy to order personally or via kiosk. Good selection of eats & drinks. I ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon for a $2 added charge total $16. Way too expensive even for Beverly Hills. Took over :15 for the order to arrive. The burrito came with the greasiest fried tasteless potatoes. The tortillas wrap was chewy and overly lard taste. Bacon was good. Avocado was just ok. Overall the worst breakfast burrito I have ever had. Very disappointing! read more

I've visited this place many times, and usually, the food is fantastic. However, during my most recent visit, the food was just okay, not quite up to the usual standard. On top of that, I noticed that the small brunette woman with the Chipotle bag tattoos seemed increasingly more miserable each time I saw her, which affected the overall vibe. This time was especially a low vibrational experience due to her attitude. I think the red-haired girl would make a great manager and should seriously be considered for her position in the next few months. She's professional, friendly, and seems to genuinely care about the customer experience. I will continue to come in because of her. Update: I will have a great day, Alex. Good luck. read more

*Update* Owner reached out and offered to make up my experience. So updating to 4 stars. It's nice they care about their business and wish them the best in the future. A bit disappointed I chose to have lunch here. I got the Miso Caesar salad with chicken and a matcha latte with coconut milk. The matcha is ok - the cup wasn't full and didn't really like they charge $1 for alt milk option and I didn't see signage saying how much it was for alt milk. For the salad - the dressing was not enough when you add chicken so I had to throw out a lot of it since I'd be eating bland lettuce afterwards. The chicken is not crispy as it states on the menu - I thought it would be the same crispy chicken as in the sandwiches but it's more like sliced deli meat. The Parmesan was bland and not enough and the breadcrumbs weren't even crispy and again not enough. The lettuce had more crunch than the breadcrumbs. Lastly the dressing tasted nothing like Miso or Caesar to me. It tasted like honey mustard for some reason and all I could taste was mustard. The service was friendly although I found it odd that they offered the lady in front of me and after me a piece of flourless cake to try after I ordered and not me but I was within earshot of them offering it. I know they're newly opened so maybe they have things to work out, but for the price - I wasn't happy with what I got as I've had better for less. read more

We already had dinner plans that evening, so we wanted to keep lunch on the lighter side. Otherwise, we definitely would have tried a pizza!

A friend who's a Soho House member took me there for lunch yesterday. I hadn't been back in a few…read moreyears, and I'd forgotten both the incredible views and how easy it is to spend an afternoon there. We walked in expecting a quiet lunch and quickly realized the World Cup was on. The screening room was packed with members watching the match, and it was fun seeing everyone so invested in the game. Since we wanted to catch up, we headed to the garden patio instead. There were plenty of people enjoying lunch outside, though it never felt loud. We never had to raise our voices to hear each other, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the afternoon. Our server was fantastic. She checked on us throughout the meal, kept our drinks refreshed, and always seemed to know when to stop by and when to give us space. We never felt rushed, which made the afternoon even more enjoyable. We started with the calamari to share. I ordered the Faroe Island king salmon with sautéed spinach and chimichurri, and my friend had the chopped salad. The salmon had a beautiful sear and was cooked perfectly, while the chimichurri added just the right amount of brightness. We each ordered the cucumber cocktail, mine with vodka and his with gin. It was crisp, refreshing, and exactly what I wanted on such a hot afternoon. It paired especially well with the salmon. One detail I really appreciate about Soho House is its no-photo policy. After spending a few hours there, it made perfect sense. Around us, people were catching up with friends, having meetings, enjoying lunch, or watching the match without phones constantly pointed around the room. It made the entire space feel more relaxed, and I found myself appreciating being somewhere that encouraged people to be present with each other. Nothing felt forced or overly formal. We were able to settle in, enjoy a great meal, and spend a few hours catching up without ever feeling like our table was needed for the next reservation. By the time we left, I completely understood why so many people enjoy being members. One last detail worth mentioning is valet. The attendants were friendly, professional, and efficient. It's a small touch, but it made arriving and leaving effortless.

Extremely overrated…read more Unfortunately, Soho House Hollywood lived up to its online reputation of having a "you should just be happy to be here" attitude. The front desk was dismissive, no one offered to help with luggage despite the stairs leading to reception, and the elevator and hallways were extremely hot. When I mentioned the heat, the manager simply shrugged and explained that none of their locations have A/C in those areas. The hotel itself is extremely dated. Our room was standard-sized, felt small for California, and was overpriced for the quality and experience. The food was decent--the burger was pretty good and the sashimi was fresh. The restaurant wait staff were actually the saving grace: friendly, attentive and hospitable. Overall, Soho House seems to rely heavily on its name and exclusivity rather than delivering an elevated experience. There are better private clubs with better service, better facilities and far less attitude. Two stars. The restaurant staff earned the second one.

Our food was served lightning fast...in literally less than 10 minutes! My friend noshed on the pressed yellowtail sushi while I opted for the Wagyu burger, prepared medium-well. We ended up sharing a molten butter cake for dessert. It was very generously sized (a mini-cake to be exact but it was enough for three hefty slices) & topped with a decadent scoop of vanilla gelato with pretzel toffee in the center. And just when we thought it couldn't get better, our server poured warm caramel sauce over it...WHAT?!?!!!!

The filet was cooked well but missing a char and flavor, but the overall plate felt a little uninspired, and the pastas were missing that richness and depth of flavor I was hoping for.

Faregrounds Beverly Hills This place may be on the smaller side, but it is absolutely charming. The aesthetic is effortlessly beautiful, with several picture-perfect corners that are perfect for a quick selfie or capturing a cute coffee-date moment. Parking can be a bit tricky, so just be mindful when entering, as the parking entrance is fairly narrow. However, once inside, the experience is lovely. The service was exceptional--everyone was warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. I requested my chicken on the side with my Chicken Caesar Wrap, and they happily accommodated my preference, which I truly appreciated. I also tried their Banana Walnut item, and one thing I can confidently say is that everything tasted incredibly fresh. The ingredients were clearly high quality, and you can tell they put care into their food. Although the flavors weren't exactly my personal preference, that's simply due to my own taste palate. The quality itself was undeniable. The Banana Walnut selection was especially fresh and enjoyable. Overall, the food felt clean, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. If I find myself back in the area, I would absolutely return. Fairgrounds offers a beautiful atmosphere, wonderful service, and fresh, quality food. A lovely little Beverly Hills gem that's definitely worth a visit. read more

Stopped by this new spot last week during their soft opening, and let me just say--WOW. Working right across the street, I've been hoping for a place like this to pop up in the area, and Faregrounds did not disappoint. The vibe is laid-back, the staff is incredibly welcoming, and the space itself feels like the perfect mix of cozy and modern. Now, let's talk about the food--because that's where they really shine. The sandwiches were next-level. The crunch, the texture, the freshness--absolutely on point. I went with the Basil Thai Steak sandwich, while my coworker got the Spicy Don. Of course, we shared, and honestly, we couldn't decide which one was better because both were packed with flavor and had such unique profiles. The crispiness of the Spicy Don? Unreal. And that sauce? No words can do it justice. To top it off, we each got a Matcha Latte, which was perfectly balanced--smooth, not too sweet, and not overpowering like some places tend to make it. Overall, this was hands-down one of the best cafés I've been to in Beverly Hills in a long time. They're bringing something fresh to the area, and I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. If you're in the neighborhood, don't sleep on this place! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Faregrounds in Beverly Hills, and I can't say enough good things about this place! First of all, everything on the menu is made in-house with healthy ingredients, which really appealed to me as I've been more health-conscious lately. I tried the Thai Basil, Spicy Don, and the Miso Cesar Salad, and they were all bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors, especially the Miso Cesar Salad. You can tell there's real care put into each dish. The drinks were also a highlight for me. I had the Saffron Cold Brew and the Honey Lavender Matcha, and both were incredible. I got to learn that the owners actually make their own handcrafted syrups, which makes all the difference. The Honey Lavender Matcha was especially unique--smooth, slightly floral, and not too sweet. Speaking of the owners, I had the chance to chat with them, and it was refreshing to hear how committed they are to using high-quality ingredients while keeping the menu affordable. It's rare to find a place that's both health-conscious and budget-friendly, especially in Beverly Hills! All in all, Faregrounds is now my go-to spot. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or enjoying a full meal, you won't be disappointed. read more

What a lovely experience. A hidden gem away from all the coffee chains. This unique spot brings good vibes, great service and a clean space. I can't eat everything so I love that they serve grass fed steak, and organic Mary's chicken. They also only use avocado and olive oil. I don't know anywhere in Beverly Hills that offers that with such affordable prices. Their coffee is fire too. They're a small business, everything is done by just a couple of young entrepreneurs. Really working hard to provide for the community. I got 2 matchas, Natalie and Jazmine recommended the 12oz size since they use ceremonial and you get more for what you're paying for rather the 16oz which is all milk. I appreciate the honesty, idk a coffee shop that truly wants you to enjoy the experience, so I like that a lot. The matchas with foam come in 16oz which makes sense. Everything is just the right price. They also make all their foams, and deserts in house. The menu and bakery items rotate. It's not pre bought or pre packaged. Wow read more

This wrap might've ruined every other chicken Caesar wrap for me. Located right in the heart of Beverly Hills, Faregrounds has quickly become the neighborhood's ultimate hotspot for high-quality wraps, sandwiches, and viral specialty coffees that put a fresh, healthy twist on everyday comfort food and let me tell you - the hype is 1000% real. Their viral Miso Caesar Wrap with Crispy Chicken features a light miso dressing that completely changes the game. It gives off this deep savory umami flavor, without that heavy, greasy feeling - making the wrap taste incredibly fresh and feel pretty healthy. Hands down, the best chicken caesar wrap I've ever had. We also tried their Spicy Don sandwich and banana cream matcha lattes, which were good, but don't even compare to the Miso Caesar Wrap. If you are anywhere near Beverly Hills, you need to grab your friends and hit up Faregrounds ASAP. Trust me on the Miso Caesar - you won't regret it. read more

This is definitely gonna be my new favorite place. I came by when they had their soft opening I think a couple of weeks ago. It's such a nice ambiance when you walk in like it's so cute. They already have merch and hats which is really cool to see. Alec the owner was really helpful in choosing what to eat/drink. They had a lot of variety which was nice to see and it's fairly priced. I would say you're getting your moneys worth. The sandwiches were a good size and there's so much flavor. I got the Thai Basil steak and its the most unique sandwich I've ever had.

While visiting the doctor's office nearby, we stumbled across Faregrounds and were excited to try a new spot. The café itself is small and cozy, with a casual vibe. We weren't particularly fond of our drinks, as they didn't quite meet our expectations, but the Spicy Dawn sandwich was chef's kiss--absolutely delicious! The combination of vodka sauce and pesto was divine and made for a unique and flavorful bite. Service was standard--nothing exceptional but efficient. Overall, while the drinks didn't impress us, the food was definitely worth trying, and I'd consider coming back for that sandwich alone! Overall rating: 3.75 - Drinks were underwhelming, but the Spicy Dawn sandwich was a standout! read more

Man at the register is incompetent, holding a 20+ minute conversation at the register with a regular. Asking her astrology, and all of the above. I wasn't even in the line waiting and I felt horrible for the line that formed out the door as a result of this. You have your 10 minute break and your 30 minute lunch due to California employment laws. When you are working you should be mindful and attend to guests to boost sales for the company you work for, not chat away for an obscene amount of time. Notably so, this is advice for improvement and I'm sure moving forward this employee can better his performance from this review. read more

Definitely the best breakfast burrito I've had. Food: The Breakfast burrito comes with eggs, avocado, tater tots, and cheddar, and you can add either bacon or steak. I love both, but the bacon takes the edge for me because I love the extra crunch it gives the burrito. They are a little smaller than your typical breakfast burrito, but I personally find the size to be a good portion. The Cilantro Crema is also a standout for me. I'm usually not big on sauces, but this is one that actually adds to the food in the best way. Wait: I HIGHLY recommend ordering ahead because they get busy. We ordered around 11:30 am on a Saturday and waited about 40 minutes for our order to be ready. Seating: There's a lot of seating inside, but it fills up. Be prepared to look around for an open spot when you get there. Parking: The parking lot is small, so you can grab a spot if you get lucky. Otherwise, there's street parking available.

I ordered the Caesar chicken wrap, iced lavender latte, and their chocolate chip salted cookie. I…read morefelt like the Caesar chicken wrap wasn't really hitting the spot. It felt a little overhyped. I can't really put my finger on what was missing, but it felt overly sauced. The cookie, though, was actually really good. It was buttery with a good hint of saltiness and sweetness. Definitely a great combination and probably one of the top three cookies I've had. I wasn't a fan of the muffin, it was very dry and was too sweet for my liking. The coffee was really good too. It had a nice balance of lavender, and you could still really taste the coffee.

A few cents goes a long way Came here for brunch. Place is clean. Food was delicious and fulfilling. Staff is super nice. Our server was friendly, quick and polite. Plenty of parking. Nice location. Seating outside or inside. EDITED TO ADD: In California, businesses are legally prohibited from adding a surcharge (extra fee) when customers pay by credit card instead of cash, according to California Civil Code section 1748.1 Illegal Surcharges: Retailers cannot charge an additional fee for using a credit card over cash or check. "Hidden Fee" Regulation: As of 2024, California law requires businesses to display the total price, including most mandatory fees, upfront. Exceptions & Enforcement: While some federal courts have challenged the surcharge ban, the Civil Code section 1748.1 remains in place. Violators can be sued for three times the damages plus attorney fees Notice Requirement: If a company does use a, potentially illegal, surcharge, it must be clearly communicated to the customer prior to the transaction LIKE I SAID... I don't like these types of surprises. It's not noted anywhere

Everything about The BVRLY was terrific! The small details, the outside patio and the cute…read moredecorated inside. Open seating, and our waiter was very attentive, friendly and helpful. It was our first time stopping in and we will definitely be back. Our breakfast was very tasty and we would highly recommend a stop here. All the meals that passed us by looked very appetizing and next time we will try something else. We had the breakfast croissant sandwich and the blueberry pancakes, those were the BEST pancakes we've ever eaten. Parking is metered and it can be tough, especially on a Saturday morning. There is some street parking nearby, but it's about a five - ten minute walk in the residential neighborhood. It's definitely worth it! Enjoy!

Parking: street parking…read more Ordered: Pepperoni Pizza Turkey Club Panini Banana Matcha Coconut Matcha Cloud Savor Signature Biscoff Latte Butterscotch Scone Churro Croissant I love that everything is made in-house including the syrups, pastries, and pizza. Everything just tasted incredibly fresh. Can't wait to come back! Most especially, they are dog friendly! They have patio seating and it's pretty comfortable.

Came here for lunch with some friends/co workers today and had such a lovely time…read more We randomly found it on Yelp when looking for a lunch spot close to work. We ordered their strawberry matcha, which was super tasty. The matcha was just the right amount of sweet and not bitter at all. The strawberry cream top was so good too. For food we got their pepperoni pizza, which was very yummy and cheesy. Our vegan friend ordered a non cheese pizza which she enjoyed. And I got the avocado toast which comes with two pieces of toast and has pesto and a side of hot honey. Also very tasty and filling. The manager and chef is Cristian and he brought out our food and was even sweet enough to bring us their biscoff scone to try, which was sooo good. It was soft and buttery and delicious. The cafe restaurant itself is very cute and has very nice minimalistic design, which is my vibe. Would definitely go back. Highly recommend for coffee and/or quick lunch.

Actually not good Overhyped…read more Matcha is watered down - lots of ice Long wait Came for breakfast sliders At 12:01 they denied us - so be careful come early if you want sliders - we arrived around 11 and didn't make it unfortunately - they're really exact with the time :( Pistachio toast was too sweet and small Pistachio alternative: Pistachio butter from Magees house of nuts in the Grove is much better -- Chicken cutlet: ordered the sandwich and I think the bread to meat ratio was off. Felt a bit dry. Ordered chicken cutlets bread go to Ghost sandwiches it was better instead Matcha latte- too watery matcha concentration was way too little Save your money and time - go somewhere else

Would be better if parking wasn't so pricey. The 20 min parking is free in the garage, but if you want to spend some time in the shop - you will be spending $30+ on parking. They were able to customize my orders and whip things up quickly!
