Oz Café is a family-friendly, Australian-inspired coffee shop --quaint, charming, and full of good vibes.

The presentation was beautiful and the taste? Absolutely scrumptious The atmosphere was so cozy and comfortable that an hour and a half flew by before we even realized it I highly recommend a visit to Oz Café--it's the perfect spot to meet a friend and catch up over a fabulous cup of coffee Tell them you saw it on Best Bites... Oz Café is officially Best Bites Approved #tastefullyhettyb #bestbites #ozcafe

A place worth trying. It's locally owned Australian themed cafe in downtown Beaumont, but there's…read morelimited parking. They used their space well, given the size of the cafe. I ordered off the summer menu as well as a mocha latte. The drinks came out pretty quick and the barista was tentative. The drinks itself were okay. The coffee was strong, but the flavors were muted. It is a cozier feel for more social get together, but may be loud for those who are studying. Overall I'd give this play a try!

I enjoyed 1/2 cup of Tomato Soup- one of their soups of the day, and a 1/2 Pesto, Turkey, bacon, and Swiss cheese on wheat sandwich. Both were a delicious combination. Arrived at lunch, they'd already ran out of their muffato. I thought it unusual since they are a bakery. There are multiple locations available. Service is slower for large groups. Recommend calling ahead first for groups of 10+. Met Beck Riviera, Folded Book Artist. He purchases used books for $1 and crafts artwork for the page edges. The papers strewn on the table represent his carefully crafted blueprints. He shared mastering this craft took lots of trial and error.

There's a new kid in town, his name is Layne, let's give him a little love…read more The Hunny and I did that, we went to see how good Layne's Chicken Fingers is. First, it's at a competitive location. Chick-fil-A is very close to the freeway exit, and Raising Cane's is across the street. And that's just the chicken. The short distance between I-10 and 11th Street has a lot of places to eat, including a Dairy Queen. Time will tell how well Layne's does. The food is pretty good, right about at Cane's level. The chicken fingers are smaller, which works out for people with smaller appetites. The Hunny had regular and I had spicy, we both enjoyed our meals. She had hers inside two slices of Texas toast, and they kept falling out. Several sauces are available: honey mustard (me), buttermilk ranch (her), BBQ, Layne's special, I forget the other. Or you can do like I did and douse the chicken with Cholula. So, pretty good, not all that memorable. It's certainly not bad, and the price is good. But Chick-fil-A has a larger selection, and is better funded with so many restaurants nationwide. And Cane's has a quirky character that stands out from the rest. Compared to them, Layne's has joined the crowd like a minor political party among the Democrats and Republicans, shouting "Hey! Look at me! I'm here too!" It doesn't have the distinctives of either Chick-fil-A or Cane's, but I think it can still succeed. Go ahead and stop by, you should like what you get.
