I've been meaning to dine here. The first attempt was last year but unfortunately we came around…read more1:30pm on a weekday and they told us that the kitchen was already closed so we had to find another lunch spot. Finally I tried again and this second time I was able to try some of their offerings. I came on a Saturday and they were hosting DayLite Jersey House Music event. It was LOUD and packed with people just standing around. The vibes were cool though. My friends came before me and were able to snag a table in the back room. I went up to the counter to order. Unfortunately my first choice, a matcha latte, was sold out. I asked if they had any other options because I'm not much of a coffee drinker. I was told that there were flavored lemonades, I asked the about the flavors and the person who was helping me wasn't sure so they went and asked another person who ended up coming to list the syrups and just ringing me out. I ordered a blueberry lemonade and a blueberry pop-tart to go. Everything was fine until the end of our time there. As we were getting ready to leave I grabbed what I thought was my cup and took a quick sip to finish it off so I didn't have to carry it around. Turns out I grabbed a coffee from the table instead. I thought it was my friend's so I apologized to her about drinking her drink because I didn't realize I grabbed the wrong one in the dark. She goes, "oh no it's not my drink...I have mine in my hand." I'm like whose drink and dishes are these? She said that they were there before they got there and they just pushed it to the side. Omg I almost gagged, I just took the biggest sip of some random person's drink by accident. At that point I get up to go to the bathroom to rinse out my mouth. While I'm gone by friends get their things ready and also wait outside the bathroom, which is right by our table. As soon as I get out I walk back to grab my pop-tart and it was gone, cleared away by the staff in a matter of minutes. Crazy that they left the table with dishes and cups when we got there but when we were leaving they were in a rush to clear away everything that they take my basically full pop-tart too. I was so defeated at that point I just left. To note, I did take one bite of the pop-tart and it was actually very good. My lemonade was fine, nice and tart. Overall service is kinda lacking but it was also a crazy day to visit with an event going on so I can't really comment on how they are normally. I don't think I will back because I don't know if I can recover from swigging some rando's drink.

It had the perfect blend of tropical fruity flavor from the guava, and the matcha was spot on since it was smooth and not at all grassy. The staff was very pleasant, and my drink was prepared quickly yet with great care. I can't wait to go back soon and try some of their baked goods, which all looked divine!

It's the little things that adds up for beautiful aesthetics.

Horrible service and my grandson had a brown meat chicken nugget. Thumbs down. Really this why corporate America shouldn't run a restaurant.

The parking lot was packed, but luckily we were able to get seated right away (and we timed it perfectly, because a massive tour bus arrived just as we were leaving!). We ordered a variety of dishes for the table. My son got the chocolate pancakes with bacon, and he absolutely LOVED them. To me, the pancakes tasted a bit oily, and only one of the three bacon strips arrived truly crispy. My friend enjoyed his meal of steak tips with eggs over easy, cheesy hashbrowns, and roasted apples--he mentioned the apples tasted just like apple pie filling. My own meal was where things fell flat. I ordered the grilled catfish with grits, over-easy eggs, and cheesy hashbrowns. The eggs were cooked perfectly, but the catfish was quite bland. The grits completely lacked flavor, so I tried mixing them with the cheesy, salty hashbrowns to help, but I ultimately ended up abandoning both. I had a biscuit instead, which was okay, but I left the meal feeling full rather than satisfied.On the bright side, the retail shop was so much fun to walk around, and we loved looking through all of their holiday decor. I really want to emphasize that the staff here is phenomenal and the hospitality is top-notch, but unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to the hype for me.
