Located in a strip mall, there is ample free parking. Staff is unassuming, professional and helpful, willing to help with any menu questions. We came for lunch to celebrate a birthday and it was an excellent choice. The menu has a lot of clean eating options, including vegetarian and keto. We opted to share a lamb pizza, a tomato and cucumber salad and a meat tray. All were excellent, plenty of food. The pita was excellent. The tea at the end was lovely. Prices reasonable, good food good portions. Absolutely worth checking out and adding into the rotation of where to go.

The pistachio crumble latte is still one of my favorites -- creamy, flavorful, and comforting. If you prefer stronger coffee, I'd definitely recommend adding an extra shot. The pogacha with beef and the burek were both delicious, rich, and full of flavor. I also tried the pistachio cheesecake, and it was absolutely delicious -- just as good as I remembered. I was a little disappointed with the Dubai chocolate cheesecake this time though. It didn't even look the same as before, and the pistachio paste tasted less natural than I remembered. The service was good, everyone was friendly, and I'll definitely come back again.

Second, I ordered via their website, which was simple, and 5 minutes later the order was ready. The staff was polite and efficient. Third, the food was DELICIOUS! I got the Bishkek mix wrap with fries. The wrap was full of fresh ingredients, including meat, cheese, vegetables, and a tasty garlic sauce. NOTE that the website's pics are cartoony and don't represent what you get. It was much bigger than I expected (that's not a complaint ;-). The fries were hot and crispy. I'll be back. Maybe I'll see you there! Peace.

I kept adding more over the top while eating the fries. No notes. This place is perfect. Will be back undoubtedly.

The menu is pretty straightforward and service was pretty utilitarian as well. However, food did come out quickly. Unfortunately, the French toast came out at room temperature at best, and the syrup that was brought to the table before hand had already had a solidified top part. So it wasn't warm at all it in fact was cold. They're also very quick to clean tables and remove things from the table. In fact, my friend was still picking at her salad and they literally came by four times to try to take it away. I think this place is family owned small business type set up so it was great to see it busy and filled. I said service was utilitarian because I think we saw our waitress maybe twice all other things were done by the bus boys for refilling waters and coffees, etc.

This is not a boba place, so don't come here looking for that. Next time we visit, I will be interested to try one of the eponymous mango smoothies, or else perhaps one of the coffee drinks. The inside of the cafe is tastefully decorated with green accents and foliage. The music playing overhead was chilled out and jazzy, giving the space a sophisticated and cozy vibe. Right now, the storefront is a bit discreet and easy to miss, but they say a new sign is on the way. Meanwhile, you can find Mango House Cafe alongside Giuseppe's and Bangkok Belly. Please come and support this adorable small business!

No other place has come close to Releaf. It is a perfect mixture with chicory coffee and sweet condensed milk. Every order I have received had the been created consistently the same from day 1. I have been going here for years and I enjoy every cup of Vietnamese I order from Releaf. The service is amazing and the staff members have been very nice and had my order correct every time. It is a small coffee / dessert spot in Mitsuwa and always busy. When there is a line in front, follow the crowd. You know there is something good in there. The wait is always worth it! Yesterday, my brother and I ordered 2 Vietnamese coffees. My brother and I loved our Vietnamese coffees and tasted excellent. The sweet level was perfect. I enjoy mixing the chicory coffee and condensed milk before drinking it. When I get that light brown color during mixing I know that is the right time to drink the coffee. Today, I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee and it tasted excellent. Thank you Releaf!

This visit, I tried The Michelle Obama Latte as it felt springy to me. The rosemary and orange blossom flavors were subtle but definitely there. It wasn't overwhelming which made me love it! Another popular item is their Maple Brown Sugar Latte. I definitely prefer this location over Chicago's but I'm happy they have the same offerings at both.

The menu also labeled all sandwiches come with chips or salad, we didn't get that with our order. The coffee was good, if I ever came back it would only be to get that but not worth parking and going inside to wait for it. The only good thing I can say was the staff was very friendly. Likely won't be back. Overpriced. Mediocre. Mislabeled menu. Left the place wanting more.

Their snack machine, when it worked, was a craps shoot if you were going to get your product BUT because their machine was in very bad disrepair, the door would find its way open and eventually, the machine was practically emptied by disgruntled users. Not sure why anyone would want the stale products but hey, something for nothing.... How about their soda vending machine??? Yeah, that was a nightmare that lasted several weeks. The thermostat could not regulate temperature and the products froze and busted inside, THREE TIMES. And don't fall for the freebies the VP of Sales promises like gift cards for new customers because THAT never happened either. Sorry to say I'm just glad to be done with Antique and the headache this company caused :( Two stars...just because one star is cruel and unusual punishment, much like the service they provided
