How could a place that loves Michael Jackson be bad?…read more Salted Egg Yolk Bolo Bun流心菠蘿麵包: Calling it "流心"(runny) isn't quite accurate; it's a bolo bun菠蘿包 (pineapple -shape bun) with a salted egg yolk filling, but it had an authentic, old-fashioned flavor that made me feel like back to childhood. The crust was thin and crispy, with a large air cavity, making it very soft and fluffy. The salted egg yolk has just the right balance of sweetness and saltiness, and wasn't too cloying. Garlic Cheese Brioche Bun蒜香奶酪麵包: Perhaps its more Taiwanese name is "八蒜包" (Eight Garlic Bun). Its appearance and taste were very similar to those I've had at Taiwanese bakeries in mainland China. The cheese and garlic flavors were very strong, but the bread itself was slightly coarse. Hojicha Latte: The whole milk was very milky, but the hojicha flavor felt a little weak. However, it's already great to find a tea latte that's not very sweet.

We came around 12:30noon and got a huge bread haul at this bakery.

Suuuuper soft & chewy bread filled with purple rice and taro. The textures were amazing. Best baked good I ever had. It's pricey but SO worth it!! 10/10, 5 stars, 100%. Service here is just okay, nothing special. There's also a small seating area in the back that is open until 4pm!

I have mixed feelings towards Little Branch Café, let me explain:…read more-- the food is always pretty good (I would recommend trying one of their Chilaquiles) -- their smoothies are sugary sweet treats that are a surprise phenomenon! -- the atmosphere is cozy, especially since it's a small restaurant that's family owned -- I repeatedly have had some of the worst service here. More specifically, the staff is not friendly, I have had food come out cold, and it's kind of expensive for breakfast food with all of that to consider. I haven't been back to Little Branch Café in a long time, because I can't accept paying for bad service no matter what the product is like in quality.

Orders are taken quickly, almost faster than you expect, and then the pace shifts entirely. The…read morefood comes out extremely slow -- not in a frustrating way, but in a "whatever they're doing back there must take time" kind of way. Watching the staff work, you get the sense that making these pancakes isn't just cooking; it's a slow, careful process that can't be rushed. And honestly, the wait ends up being worth it. Seating is limited, and that's putting it gently. This is not the place to show up with a group or try to squeeze in a big table. It's better suited for one or two people who don't mind settling in and letting the kitchen take its time. Once the pancakes arrive, everything makes sense -- the slow pace, the tiny space, the deliberate cooking. It's a small operation doing something very specific, and doing it well.

I popped in here on a cold winter's day for an early afternoon coffee. I noticed the beans at the counter, then glanced left and saw a beautiful roaster off to the side. I ordered a latte and picked up a bag of beans that they said is their house roast. It was a medium Ethiopian roast, which I usually don't care for, but they smelled amazing, and so was the latte. I noticed they were using a commercial Rocket espresso machine, which I don't see much of in the area. They even obliged me when I handed them my phone and asked them to snap some photos of their espresso machine. While the latte was excellent, I am partial to making my own at home. I saved my review until I had a chance to use their beans at home. It turned out fantastic. I also use a Rocket machine at home. I consumed 6 shots of espresso within a short time because the taste was so good. I have a feeling that I am going to fly through these beans and have to make a road trip back. I highly recommend Momentum Coffee.

When I got my matcha it had no matcha flavor. I took off the lid and saw it was a very, very light green color.

Hoping it was an off day, or they need to rethink the matcha powder they are using.
