vegan cookies
David B.

Jess was fantastic. We stopped by on July 4th and she was so lovely and personable. The vegan tea cookies are DELICIOUS (frankly I'm not even sure what they were called but WOW were they good) and I'm so excited to go back to try more. The decor is absolutely what I want to see from my coffee shop and I WILL be back!!!!!!

Such a gem! I'm visiting the area and was in desperate search of a coffee shop. A very bright and welcoming environment. It's always a good sign when the little library out front has all of the Percy Jackson books! + I loved the fourth wing themed drink!

Service, drinks and food are always on point. Fun themed specials and always something new to try. Clean interior and relaxing vibe. They also show up for important causes and give back. Choosing to support locations that care about people is everything.

Turkey Dolo
Stephanie S.

Love this cute spot! The sandwiches are amazing and the service is quick. It's a nice place to stop for lunch! I had the Turkey Dolo, it was awesome! Love that the croissant was warm. Definitely worth the trip.

Good Breffist Croque and decaf espresso latte. Good service always. Must try the cactor frozen desert pear lemonade!

For local offerings, this place is great! Coffees and drinks are good and almost never need sugar. Food isn't too fancy but good! Yum. Gluten-free bread! Yay. Great ambiance to work with wifi here! Sometimes there are chats but ok to get work done.

Just blocks from the Whiting beach and lakefront park, this local coffee shop also has summer drinks and cafe sandwiches. No seating indoors due to Covid and no outdoor patio right now, so it's to-go only. The turkey sandwich was full and flavorful, good bread, plenty of meat. The to-go lunchbox was custom stamped and a nice touch. I asked for water for my bike water bottle, and they wouldn't touch the bottle, which is a little bit understandable during covid (but gloves?-- and they're touching all my food and packaging? but I sorta get it). But I really didn't want them to waste a plastic cup, which was impossible for me to carry with me on my bike. Even during COVID the environment is a Thing. She could have pointed me to the tap and had me fill it myself, but I relented to them pouring a new cup full of water and handing it to me... but then she even added a lid, which was disappointing, since I literally had to just take off the lid, pour it in my bottle, and just wasted in the trash both a cup and lid. Hoping they recycle at least.

Friendly staff, unique syrups, great balance of sweetness to coffee... overall a good experience. Tried the lavender latte and Oak latte. Lavender was great... true lavender flavor. Oak was a unique flavor, a little bitter but in a good way.

Good chai. Good food. Nice interior. This review is adequate. Yelp requires 85 characters. I wonder if this is 85? Let's try it.

Got 2 sandwiches to go when Popeyes was out of sandwiches. Thank god…read more... Cheese steak and American wagyu with hot peppers. Served pretty quick considering they are hand made to order and for us by a friendly staff. 4 hours later still stuffed but looking at menu now to see what I get next time. And I will drive 40 minutes to the new looking mall kinda next the the casino. Signed full of it.

If i could leave zero stars... that's what this would be. I went in to the sandwich shop at 8:12pm…read more The shop closed at 9pm. My husband and I waited at the counter, ready to order for several minutes. Two team members were cleaning up, had ALL chairs up, and looked as though they were cleaning the cold condiment area. Never once were we acknowledged. Had we walked in 10-15 minutes prior to closing, fine. But 47-48 minutes prior to closing? Absolutely-freaking-not. We walked out. I visit this location regularly, but will never go back to this location or any other Capriottis again. I picked up the GMs business card and attempted to leave a message but the team members (who had no time to serve us) certainly had time to pick up the telephone. General Managers Name: Sara Henry Location: 902 Roby Dr. Hammond, IN 46320 I dont have names for any team members because they NEVER approached, greeted or attempted to take our order. DO BETTER!

I haven't had Zel's in maybe three or four years and enough is enough. I moved to Florida and I…read moredamn near will travel home just for this. Any and everyone from East Chicago can probably relate that once the craving hit and if you've moved away from home it turns pretty devastating I mean my goodness the crave just came out of nowhere. This is thee best fast food establishment on earth. We have great tacos but nothing compares in my opinion to Zel's roast beef. A chili cheese fry ain't just a chili cheese fry. Them shakes are must haves! A chili cheese burger a chili cheese Roastbeef with peppers and onions extra cheese or a reg roast beef with onions and peppers and Pickles smdh Fries are at the bottom of the sandwich I mean just good eating! Oh how I've missed thee I will be home soon for you !!

I was in a pinch for something quick at lunch with my choices: McDonald's, Wendy's, Subway, and…read moreZel's. I never had Zel's so I gave it a try. It's definitely a hole in the wall but when I walked in, I was greeted welcomely. I told the lady at the counter this was my first time ever here and she was so excited to help me. She recommended the roast beef with peppers, pickles, and cheese with fries. The roast beef was messy but that usually makes it better. I'm from Alabama so the roast beef wasn't exactly my type. It was a little dry but at the bottom of the sandwich, I got a hold of the au jus which made it better. The pickles and pepper added some spice. This sandwich also warmed me up as it came out hot and fresh. The fries were your crinkle cut variety and they also were hot and fresh. It was an expensive sandwich though...more than I wanted at a $16 dollar price tag with fries and a drink. It was good for a one time meal.

Rain delay? Breakfast adventure…read more Our baseball tournament got delayed bright and early thanks to Mother Nature, so instead of sitting around waiting, we did what any reasonable group would do, we went looking for food. Of course, I pulled up Yelp (because Yelp never lets me down) and it led us right down the road to Sunrise Cafe. I'm actually mad at myself for forgetting to take pictures because everything looked so good that I skipped photographer mode and went straight into eating mode. There were seven of us, and we covered just about the whole menu, Denver omelets, French toast, over-easy and sunny-side-up eggs, chopped beef with eggs, and more. Not a single complaint at the table. Everything came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it had that family-friendly hometown feel that makes you want to come back. If you find yourself in the area looking for breakfast, do yourself a favor and stop in. Rain delay or not, this place was a home run.

I would NEVER step foot in here ever again!…read more On my very first visit, I was seated in the narrow room to the left where there was a row of booths on both sides in this long dining room. The male manager seated me and there I sat and sat and sat. Yes, the room was full with waitresses going back and forth, NOT one said hello, we'll be right with you, acknowledging that I was alive. After 10 minutes, I grabbed a male manager and said nobody is waiting on me. He gave me a cup of coffee and he went straight back into the kitchen and spoke with a cook about getting me a server. After waiting another 15 minutes, while waitresses were all around me, yet not one stopped to find out what I wanted to eat. After looking at their tired, dirty and late menu for far too many times. I got up and went up to pay for my lone cup of coffee. A male employee minding the desk, ran up to the register as if I was going to skip out on paying for the $3.50 cup of coffee. I told him I was sitting here for over 25 minutes and nobody bothered to wait on me. We're very busy! Try that excuse on someone else, that's bullshit! A well trained waitress would greet you properly and say something to you, not ignore you. I was dressed properly. What he should have done for my inconvenience was comp me the cup of coffee! I wasn't looking for anything for free but a good business person would have comped the coffee. I would NEVER step foot in this place ever again!
