    I came here to grade some papers after one of my colleagues suggested some new Cafes to see. I have to say I am in love with the highlands area and glad I came across this spot. A little dive spot in an old house but it has a certain charm to it. I got the kiko's panini and a house coffee with an espresso shot. The panini was good but a bit heavy so trust me water is needed. However, the flavors pair very well. Sitting outside while the weather is cool is very nice and I bet it's beautiful at night with the lights. This is a great spot to work solo or to come with friends or a date night. I plan on coming back here in the future.

    Great outdoor space that is dog friendly. The patio is partially covered giving you the option of sun/shade. The inside is cute but very small with one single bathroom, which is perfectly fine except for when it's crowded. Service can be a little slow for food. You get your drinks right away once you order. The cold brew was delicious and my black tea with lavender syrup was very refreshing. The portions are good, making us perfectly full.

    Second time here. First time, we were rushed. This time, we had some time, and they have a whole new bar area for seating. We will definitely come back now that we can sit there. Anyway, I had the Hector Panini and it was great again. Lots of delicious pesto flavor on a breakfast sandwich. They have LOADS of hot sauce, so look around the store for that magical shelf. You can go grab a non-alcoholic beverage or grab some breakfast booze too. Staff was solid and very friendly. I look forward to my third time when I try and not order the Hector sandwich. Definitely recommend and see you there.

    Spicy Turkey Panini

    I got the spicy turkey and everything about it was amazing. Didn't wait too long and the place had a cozy vibe. If I had to pick a place for a quick lunch or a nice place to sip a coffee, this would be the place.

    Egg bacon and cheese burnt dried out croissant sandwich

    I used to love going here. Now it's my Least favorite place. I ordered a breakfast croissant and it was burnt and died out with a paper thin cardboard tasting egg on it.

    Met the owners at the bar, very welcoming. They have a nice little courtyard and porch, the weather was lovely, I had a French Pinot Noir and enjoyed people watching from the front porch. Felt like home .

    Kiko sandwich

    I want to love this place and keep coming back. The menu always sounds good the patio is fantastic. The disappointment this morning came from craving a side of fruit! And getting only two pieces of orange. I based my order off the fruit description otherwise I would have gone with a bagel sandwich. The flavor was on point. Lattes were good. I'll still come back.

    Went across town 'cause for the last couple of weeks I've been on a quest for the best quiche in the city and one of my homies (on Yelp Talk) told me that I needed to try out the Bug & Belle Bakery in Highlands. Well, as you might note from my adjacent review of B&B it's now closed. Bummed out by the sign on the door I trudged back to my car only to look up and see Highlands Cork & Coffee right across the street. On a whim I called them up (from 50' away:) and asked the critical question, "Hey, do you have quiche on the menu?" The response brought a smile to my previously frowny face when the sweetest of voices said, "Why honey I'm just taking one out of the oven as we speak." "Cut me a slice and I'll be over in 72 seconds," I said. And darn if I didn't walk through the door as she was setting that cheddar/bacon/spinach/onion quiche slice right on a plate and serving it up with a cup of some freshly brewed Lavazza coffee. The quiche? Good but not great. A little bit listless crust and decent but not spectacular filing flavors met my quiche-needs but didn't send me over the moon in the taste department. The coffee however was rich and well balanced and the service was extraordinarily great so all-in-all I became a fan for sure. Stop on by when you're in the 'hood. The place has the friendliest service and very good food. Sign me, David "Still quiche-a-go-go" M.

    Iced chai tea latte
    Tasha J.

    Walked to this cute house, turned cafe with some friends and had a lovely time catching up on their patio. The outdoor spaces are great and it didn't feel too crowded at all. The line to place your order can take a long time because one person takes your order and makes your coffee or drinks on the spot. We were lucky and didn't have anyone in front of us but we did take a while for the folks behind us. I ordered an iced chai tea latte and a bacon breakfast burrito. The chai was fantastic, perfect amount of spice. The burrito was good, with the green chili giving it some heat but not overwhelming. Just a really chill place to come and relax, I'll try their cocktails next visit!

    Awful Breakfast Sandwich
    Sarah G.

    Yikes..... I would never come here again. When I arrived some man was sitting outside with a DOG on the TABLE. A DOG ON THE TABLE. Excuse me? Have you never heard of health code? The worker who was washing the patio had no interest in letting this customer know that that's DISGUSTING. I ordered a breakfast sandwich which cost me $8 and was one egg maybe 1 oz of cheese and bread. Horrible. No taste & so overpriced. Avoid!!!

Looking at taco places, I went with something close by to our location and found this hidden gem. Nestled away on a small street corner of Clay Street and 32nd Ave. parking can be scarce, but I'm sure with the right time and a little bit of walking you will find and manage your way here. Outside the restaurant, they have a small seating area which now is winter too cold to enjoy, but I'm sure in the spring and summer and fall time is super enjoyable. The inside, though a little bit tiny and no cozier than going to your mom's house and expecting a family Filled living room/Kitchen. We went down and greeted by three smiling faces. We already looked at the photos online and knew we want tacos so opted with the chicken tacos and Carne Asada taco plates. The tacos place option came with 5 tacos with up to 2 choices of meats the ratio would be 2:3 .. freshly mashed guacamole made in front of you or freshly sliced avocado.. In the pictures I listed you will find each chicken and Carne Asada options. Both slow pictures missing two tacos because we devoured them as soon as we got into the truck. Their street tacos are heavenly! Chicken option was all chicken breast super juicy grilled to perfection five tacos on a plate another two tacos missing because my husband and I devoured it. This plate came we asked it with the guacamole option instead of fresh avocado. The carne asada was just FULL of flavor and the fresh avocado slices with green tomatillo salsa SLAPPED.. the tortillas are super soft and tears from how fresh the flour tortillas were!! Definitely a place to sit and eat there to enjoy the hot food. I'm originally from SoCal and a heavily populated Latinos with amazing tacos and food.. Taqueria La Familia passed the bar high!! We can't wait to come back and try other options and will update pictures and review then!

It's also very unassuming. It looks like a very small restaurant on the outside but once you are inside, you'll be shocked to see its good size dining area. This place is all about happiness. I mean seriously!! They care about their customers that get satisfied with their service and meals. And it does draw a very diverse crowd from the Hispanics to Caucasians to Asians, I mean you name it. They also get a lot of to-go orders. Some people came in, grabbed their food and went on their way for the night. My friend got the Torta Los Carboncito. This is a massive sandwich with plenty of meat inside. Since the menu has colored picofor almost each item, what caught my attention was the fish dish. There are two of them: one is trout and the other is something else (I forgot) but I got me the non-trout one. The lady asked me if I wanted the flour or corn tortillas so I went with the corn one. As soon as I got home, my late night snacking started. I only took several bites out of that whatever the huge fish. And oh my goodness, it was so delicious! Well-seasoned with very light salt. Although I mainly got it for tomorrow morning/lunch I had a hard time quit eating because of its deliciousness. Extremely welcoming staff (I even met the owner, Alex as he was dining with his family), quality food and value pricing, this place checks out for the hidden gem restaurant that's not necessarily super fancy but it's worth every penny and time. Yelping is so much fun. That is why I cannot quit my foodie-ness! What a nice discovery!
