Long overdue review I Love Love Love SALA! Been coming here for a few months for breakfast and…read morelatte cravings. They have seasonal menus so there's always something new. I personally love the Sunrise Matcha with their Breakfast burrito!! Service is quick and everyone has been very friendly. They also have wine offerings and a food menu so it's my go-to for Brunch. Their food is always delicious and fast. They have a very spacious interior. Lots of different seatings for groups or single seats at the bar.

Hmm, going over the other one star reviews, I can notice a common theme…read more Really weird experience here. First it's 7:30pm, planned on ordering a matcha and the person at the register informed me that there was "No coffee or tea after 4pm" so I choose to order a non alcoholic beverage and maybe something to eat and cashier or owner, whoever this person was tells me if I plan to work because it becomes a "laptop free zone" after 4pm. Odd behavior to tell someone what they can and can't do at an establishment considering it's called a coffee AND wine bar. Maybe this is something to advertise on your yelp and website but a "laptop free zone" after 4pm is pretty ridiculous for potential customers who were just looking to eat and work. I almost feel like he just told me that because I was going to order a salad and a non alcoholic beverage and wasn't planning on ordering much. As the other 1 star reviews mention "pretentious behavior" so it's either the cashier or whoever it was is being pretentious as others mentioned or RACIST... Kinda odd to dictate what I do on my own accord while I'm a patron at your establishment. If I ordered food and a drink but chose to open my laptop, are you going to ask me to leave? Doesn't really seem customer centric. Considering that I've worked on my laptop at dine-in restaurants, it's pretty odd behavior to display. Also, considering that this is not a club, and there's no live music, and there were only 3 people sitting in there, I think I would have been fine to sit there quietly in a corner with my laptop. 1 star for the experience and weird behavior. Like I said it's either pretentiousness or racism but weird behavior nonetheless.

They have a lovely space and a nice selection of natural Old World wines, but the service has made it difficult to keep coming back. On multiple visits, we've been made to feel like we were an inconvenience--almost as though we shouldn't have walked in and asked to order a glass of wine. The vibe has consistently felt unwelcoming and, at times, almost dismissive. After experiencing it more than once, it's hard to chalk it up to someone simply having an off day. On the flip side, I did have dinner here once, and that was a genuinely lovely experience. I wish that same warmth carried over to the wine bar/shop experience, because I really wanted this to be a neighborhood spot I'd return to regularly. They also have a very bad fly problem on the back patio and it makes it uncomfortable and annoying to sit out there.

This place seems to use only quality ingredients, as everything always tastes fresh. Order some pita bread, and they'll taste like someone just prepped them before you arrived! The chicken shawarma plate is our favourite order, as it is plenty to feed both my wife and me. It comes with delicious chicken, a small salad, hummus, and pickled vegetables. Everything tastes good! Occasionally, we get the falafel, which is also tasty! The garlic sauce that comes on the entrees here is likely our favourite of all garlic sauces we've tried in other spots. We used to frequent this spot, and I've certainly brought a number of friends and coworkers around to bring joy to all of our bellies. Prices are average, and the service is fast. Although there is only street parking available, you'll likely be able to find parking along Bixby Road or Atlantic Blvd, though I tend to avoid the traffic of Atlantic Blvd. There is plenty of seating within, along with some outside seating if that's your vibe. Ambience is nice, and the place is decorated with Turkish lamps. The food at Taboon does not disappoint! Come through, and support local!

We had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. When ordering, I strongly recommend…read morespeaking loudly and clearly and asking the server to repeat your order back to you. Our server thought he heard my sister order the Lamb Mediterranean Bowl, but she actually ordered the Chicken Mediterranean Bowl. When the lamb bowl arrived, my sister immediately explained that the order was incorrect and that she had requested chicken, not lamb. Instead of simply correcting the mistake, the server argued with us for 5-10 minutes, repeatedly insisting that we had ordered wrong and saying, "You ordered wrong. You cannot returned the plate. The kitchen already cooked it. What is the kitchen going to do with it? Throw it away?" He even suggested that we could buy chicken kabobs separately for $7 ea. At that point, I asked to speak with the manager or owner. The server walked away, then returned, took my sister's plate and brought out the correct chicken plate. Mistakes happen -- we understand that. What was disappointing was the lack of customer service and the arguing instead of simply handling the situation professionally. I have never experienced a server refusing to correct an order and debating with customers over a simple mistake.

It was a nice sunny day, I had the day off and thought it would be a nice time for a tasting. My husband called prior to arrival and was told tastings were $25. It was not explained that tastings take place only at certain times. On arrival to the store the times were explained, and I wish it would have been said over the phone. The store is very dark, dusty, and not very welcoming. The staff member present continuously worked at the counter, not looking up and did not offer assistance. It felt strange that they only acknowledged us when we inquired about the wine tasting on arrival. I will not be patronizing or attending any events here, very disappointing.

It's clear the owners put a lot of thought and creativity into making their cocktails the centerpiece of the experience. That said, the execution didn't live up to the concept. The menu appears to rotate regularly, and while the drinks were certainly unique, most of the cocktails we tried were hit or miss. At roughly $22 per drink, I expected more balance and refinement. One cocktail started with flavors reminiscent of an Old Fashioned, but after the initial sip, the combination of bitters and fruit syrups created an unpleasant cough syrup like finish. We tried a mocktail as well, and it was mostly ice and soda water, with what seemed like a collection of syrups doing most of the heavy lifting. The drinks were creative, but many of the flavor profiles felt disjointed rather than intentional. The biggest issue, however, was the bar service and sanitation practices. I watched a bartender place a cucumber garnish into a glass using his bare hands, touching the entire garnish in the process. He then continued to take credit cards, cash, and other items before stuffing ice into additional drinks with his bare hands. Whether or not this technically violates health code standards, it certainly wasn't appetizing to watch and left a poor impression. Parking is another challenge. There is no dedicated parking, and unless you get lucky, expect to park several blocks away and walk. Overall, the atmosphere is a lot of fun and the cocktail menu is ambitious, but the drinks didn't justify the price point, and the sanitation concerns were hard to overlook. I wouldn't rush back, especially given the cost and parking difficulties.
