The girls inside were super friendly and we got our drinks in a good amount of time. There's not a ton of seating but there is a lot of two seater tables and a bar! It's decorated so cute and there are also single stall bathrooms!

Came here looking for Japanese milk bread to make some of those viral Japanese cream sandwiches…read more This was a Friday afternoon and they were all sold out. Although they did tell me they get four shipments per week and their next shipment should be the next day (Saturday). So I called the next morning and confirmed their Milk Toast was available. So I was able to pick some up along with some ube buns (cannot recall if that's what they're actually called but it was filled with ube custard) which is my new favorite! Was immediately hooked! Ambiance was nice and clean. All of their shelves were nice and neat and everything looks clean. This location has a drive through but it was blocked off with cones. Not sure what that's all about but I'm just glad I didn't take my two little girls with because I was planning on going through the drive through with them. Luckily mama was cool with them staying home while I made a quick solo trip. Overall: 4-stars - Product availability is hit or miss it seems. Can't speak on their drinks or every single product, but the milk toast and ube buns were perfection. Minus one star for product availability but comes with the nature of being a bakery I suppose. Nonetheless would recommend and will be coming back for more ube baked goodness.

Peoria seems like a nice place to be, and this is a great representation. It's a tiny coffee shop that exists on the corner of a small street. Great vibes when you walk in, and the staff is friendly and warm. I ordered a short iced latte and waited for the drink to be made. Lotsa folks around getting their day started, or doing some work for the day. The energy was perfect, and my coffee arrived promptly. I gave it a sip and went on my way. The coffee was not bad, but pretty much unremarkable in that regard. I enjoyed it as a sipping coffee, but it was a little too dark on the roast for me. Not their fault, as they're a multiroaster. Overall, I think it's a great place to grab a coffee, and especially if you like flavored drinks! Perhaps a mocha or a vanilla latte would slap! Come here for a nice slow morning or if you want a mood boost!

The service is great if you don't know exactly what you want they ask you what you're in the mood for and they break it down and they give you a couple of suggestions.

I also had their chai with vanilla and lavender cold foam in the past, but having had it not the same day, it's hard to really compare. The Oreo Chiller is a blended mocha with oreos. I couldn't taste the Oreo as the coffee flavor was strong. Good for those who like a strong coffee flavor.

Visited today, was a wait but definitely worth it! Our server, I think oozel or uzel recommended some season items that we didn't even notice. I ended up getting the pumpkin pancake which was amazing!( can't go wrong with pumpkin) my husband ended up getting the omelette with the cream sauce, which he loved. Our server even got me to try the green drink which i think was called a kale onic, the color freaked me out but definitely was not what I expected, very delicious! If I could give more stars for how attentive our sever was I would. He really seemed to love his job and took really good care of us. (Out of subject, he had really nice eyelashes too, in which I envy) Also we learned that if you put your name online you won't have to wait as long when you arrive!!! read more

This place just changed over from The Good Egg and let me just say I don't even know where to start. For one whoever was in charge of the new menus failed miserably!! They took off all the good items including the protein powder wheat pancakes! Also this was the worst service we ever experienced! IF WE COULD GIVE IT ZERO STARS WE WOULD. The waitress didn't ever come ask us how the food was and never asked if we needed soda refills until she brought the check at the very end 30 minutes later!! Our drinks were empty for at least 20 minutes!! WHAT A WASTE OF A $45 BREAKFAST.. The waitress we had was a real sour puss with no personality. Not even a crack of a smile. She obviously hates her job and life. NEVER EVER AGAIN!! read more

First Watch is at Westgate now! My friends and I went after a great workout! The restaurant officially opens Monday but they had a soft launch yesterday. It was by invitation only but by Grace we were at the right place at the right time! Thank you to the kind person who allowed us to come in without an invitation! The food was amazing! We especially like the pumpkin pancakes which are seasonal, the million dollar bacon, the short rib omelet and the egg white turkey omelet is a delish healthier choice. The freshly made juices were yummy too! read more

I had never been to this location, but I was in the area so I stopped here to have breakfast with my daughter.
