    I came here today because Yelp says they close at 1:00 PM. I arrived exactly at 12:00 PM, an hour before closing, but the employee told us they were no longer serving coffee because they had already shut down the machines. I understand that staff need to do pre-closing tasks, but if the business is still open, customers should be able to order the main items on the menu. Closing all the coffee machines an hour before the posted closing time is frustrating and defeats the purpose of being open until 1:00 PM. Keeping at least one machine running until closer to closing would provide a much better customer experience. To make matters worse, I waited about 40 to an hour for a sandwich, and when it finally arrived, it was incomplete. The menu clearly stated that it comes with a boiled egg, but the sandwich was served without it. Between the long wait time, the incomplete order, and not being able to order coffee during posted business hours, the experience was very disappointing.

    Pecan Horchata Latte

    So happy I found this coffee shop! I was in the area and wanted some coffee, so I looked up some places nearby. I picked this one because the drinks looked good. I ordered the Pecan Horchata Latte and requested for less sweet. The only thing I regret was not getting a bigger size. The drink was delicious - great coffee and great flavor. There was only one person (that I saw) making the drinks in the front, and there was someone in the back making the food. Several people trickled in after me. Regardless, the wait wasn't long and my drink came out in less than 10 minutes.

    I absolutely love the Biscoff coffee here--it's my favorite! Every cup is so delicious, and it's the drink I always look forward to. I also love supporting this wonderful family-owned coffee shop. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and you can really feel the care they put into the business. It's also so heartwarming to see the kids helping out, especially during their summer break from school. It gives the place such a genuine family atmosphere. Great coffee, great people, and a place I'll definitely keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

    I came after my gym sesh and let me tell you these guys are now my go to coffee shop. I normally go to Deadeye in South City but this is waay closer to home, if's fast and convenient. They are about quality when it comes to ingredients, machinery and not to mention their service. Hope you guys get way busier. Well deserved . (If you like espresso, you're in for a treat)

    early morning date

    Our new favorite morning place. My family loves to get our morning breakfast in this place. I love their coffee. The whole staff are friendly and welcoming. Just what we need in the morning!!

    Avocado toast with Sausage and Aioli Sauce  All meat Burrito with Aioli sauce  Dulce de leche latte/ Spanish latte

    Amazing service, excellent food, cute cafe place and staff was very friendly. Overall this place is a 10/10!!

    Delicious Panini and coffee Went here on my sisters birthday and it was such a nice way to start our day, It was pouring outside but still had to get an iced coffee! Coffee is strong so I would add more syrup for mine next time :) - I went ahead and just added some half and half they had available.

    Food was great & when a place has kids working in the back you know the food will be good. Matcha was as good as a culinary grade banana matcha gets & i'm happy with it

    Beef Chorizo Burrito

    Great place for breakfast burritos and coffee ! Burritos are definitely shareable size ! delicious! The service was quick and very polite. They have a small dining area with a wall to take pictures as well.

    Cream Cheese bagel - I added bacon. They were generous with pretty thick bacon not the cheap paper thing kind. DELICIOUS!

    WOW! I thought I'd give this place a try because of the butter Biscoff Latte. Did not disappoint - this place will be a new fav for me. I ordered the Olympic Club on sourdough roll. As basic a sandwhich as this is it was fresh, delicious and hearty! Also a plain bagel with Cream Cheese Bagel and added bacon. They were generous with the bacon. The way they packaged my items with such care says a lot. They sealed the drink, stapled the bagel bag and included a straw and plenty of napkins in my door dash order. Im looking forward to going in person and trying more of the menu. If a basic turkey bacon sandwich was so good I can imagine what the other more decorated sandwiches must taste like!

    Love this place. Ever since I got coffee from here I stopped going to Starbucks. Friendly owners/staff coffee and breakfast sandwiches made fresh. Convenient , next to my home.

    We stayed in the San Francisco area for a few days and didn't even bother getting to know other breakfast places. The food is so delicious and fresh. The lattes..I still think about them every day that I'm back home. Can't go wrong with whatever you get!

DRINKS: 8/10 SERVICE: 10/10 AMBIANCE: 9/10 What I ordered: Brown Sugar Toffee Nut Iced Latte with Oatmilk ($7.88) DRINKS: 8/10 I ordered a Brown Sugar Toffee Nut Iced Latte, and I thought it was good, just not the best iced latte I've ever had. Considering the price point and the size, it felt a bit expensive. To be fair, it's a specialty syrup drink, and I did substitute oat milk, so the cost makes sense. Still, I know other places that offer a slightly larger size for around the same price. My drink tasted a little watered down, but not so much that it ruined the flavor. I could still taste the brown sugar and toffee nut notes. I just wish the espresso flavor came through a bit stronger. On the bright side, I love that they use Califia Barista Oat Milk! SERVICE: 10/10 The staff were very friendly and charismatic, which added to the cheerful morning vibes... loved that! The barista made my drink fairly quickly, but I was also the only one there, haha. AMBIANCE: 9/10 This café definitely had a friendly, community vibe. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was a bulletin board and table filled with community resources, local services, pamphlets, news, and small business ads. I honestly love that. There was plenty of seating, with both group tables and bar stools available. The décor was simple yet cute, which added to the cozy atmosphere. PARKING: 9/10 (does not count toward rating) Parking wasn't as bad as I expected, especially since the café is located on a main street with nearby train stops. I appreciated that the parking spots were spacious, and there's also residential parking available. Since it was a work holiday, I thought it would be packed, but there was actually plenty of street parking.

I lucked out with a parking spot right across the street, but walked past it as there's no sign with a name.

The shop itself is very small, more floorspace is dedicated to the kitchen than the waiting area. They have exactly 3 oddly short stools to sit on, so if it's at all busy don't plan on staying. I got there 15 minutes before closing on a Sunday, so unsurprisingly all the seats were vacant. The drink itself was good, vibrantly purple and not too sweet. I think it was a little light on espresso, though, next time I'd ask for a double (and yes I did specify the espresso-version, apparently the normal ube latte is caffeine-free). The reason I went to Dead Eye is because I wanted some good tasting caffeine that wasn't from a chain and want bubble tea, so in that regards it delivered. They take credit cards.

The second time, I ordered a matcha einspanner, and he got the hojicha einspanner again. Maybe I'm just not too familiar with how to drink einspanners, but the cream pretty much sat on top of the drink. At first, I was mostly just drinking the matcha, which was fine because it was flavorful and seemed to be good quality. Once I got toward the end of the drink, that's when I started tasting the cream. The cream was a little too thick for my liking and left a film-like texture in my mouth, which I didn't love. Since I enjoyed the overall flavor of the drink, I'll give it a 4! The ambiance is cute, and the service was easy. You just order from a kiosk, and they call your name once your drink is ready. The first time I went was on a weekend, and the line was out the door. This time, I went on a weekday, and it was pretty empty. If you're looking for a sweet, caffeinated drink as a pick-me-up, I'd recommend trying it at least once.
