I worked from the cafe and decided to try the food side this time. I ordered the burrito bowl again since I enjoyed it last time, but this time I got it with potatoes and soyrizo. I was a bit disappointed with the flavor because it was too salty and very saucy. The texture was also more mushy, which might have been from choosing the potatoes. I'd recommend going with the tater tots instead for a better variety of textures. I came in on a Monday at 9 AM. Most of the booth seating was taken, but there was plenty of high-table seating. The place got noisier around 11 AM when a couple of large groups arrived. Service is counter-style, but they bring the food to your table.

The absolute sweetest staff! Decently sized portions at affordable prices (around $10-$20), my favorite go-to is their tacos! I love that they also have MoonGoat coffee there. Such a spacious and convenient lunch spot and workspace. And if it is available, you can also play pool! But their foods tend to be saltier and more oily than I would prefer! (The mango drink is elsewhere!)

Roasted veggies side

Saw an IG reel for the steak sandwich, so had to come in to try it! Super random spot- I love these spots that have good coffee and yummy lunch options. The sandwich took awhile to get, and it was cold- kind of confused by it because I thought it was supposed to be warm? Aioli was wonderful and the sandwich was great. The bread it was made on was crunchy and soft on the inside. The roasted veggies were okay. Kind of overdone and soggy, but nice flavor. The iced vanilla latte was excellent. Looks like fresh specs of vanilla bean. The flavor was great. The vibe is cool, and young. Parking was easy. The service was weird. The girl who took the order was nice and helpful, but took some time to get us our order and didn't tell me where my coffee order was.

matcha

I strongly believe not everyone has to have or serve matcha PLS if u can't do matcha don't sell it. The color alone is telling on how it tastes, no it tastes worse than it looks. If u come here just don't get the matcha

Great ambience and good food. We ordered an iced matcha latte, the braised short rib, and a Mediterranean salad. The short rib was incredibly tender, though the seasoning felt a bit heavy for lunch. The Mediterranean salad had an interesting texture and a refreshing flavor. Overall, a solid experience -- I'd definitely come back.

Delicious salmon Mediterranean salad. I forgot to ask for no olives or dressing (personal preference since I find either to be overpowering, and it's simpler than asking for them on the side), but the balance of flavors for a cafe salad is pretty fantastic! I chose the cafe because of its proximity to a conference I need to attend and the free wifi. It is spacious, and there are abundant work stations and power plugs. The bathrooms are clean, and it's a lovely community working spot. The service is pleasant and fast. I would definitely come here again!

Seating

This is a great coffee shop to hang out or get some work done. I love that there are plenty of outlets and tons of seating, making it a great coworking space. On one side you have the coffee shop and the other side is a mini restaurant where you can get food. There is also a nice outdoor seating area. The space is clean and the staff and friendly. It can be a little hard to find if it's your first time but there are plenty of signs to guide you in the right direction, the coffee shop is kind of tucked around the corner, but there is plenty of parking.

Coffee is still great - quick update: I think it's turning into a moongoat coffee roasters (which is pretty awesome!). Staff is super nice :) lots of space to work and chill.

Wooweee... thank goodness I read the reviews before I visited Moongoat. I get lost easily and so I'm glad there are reviews that mentioned Moongoat is actually in Olive Grove Cafe and that's the signs that I looked for. I instantly fell in love with the courtyard that I had to walk through to get to Moongoat. It looks so comfy that I know I can easily get situated here and work comfortably or get the family together and hang out. There's plenty of seats and tables outdoor and indoor and there's TVs for your entertainment. It's well-maintained and very clean. The barista who took my peppermint bark was super friendly. I was the only person in line and so it didn't take too long to get my order. The barista who made and served my coffee had a little bit of an attitude but she didn't kill the cool vibes I carried on because I was too in love with the cafe. The peppermint bark and the price to pay for it was perfecto!!! I'll definitely come back again to enjoy the ambiance longer and try out their other goodies.

There were about 3 people ahead of me in line and a few waiting for drinks, but I was able to order and get my drink in around 10 minutes. Staff was very friendly and checked in with us while waiting in line! I ordered the Matcha Two, which comes as a matcha latte topped with salted matcha vanilla cream foam. The foam was velvety and creamy. The matcha had a smooth, earthy flavor with subtle sweetness. Oatmilk was the default choice, and while I usually think oatmilk can overpower matcha, it worked well in this drink. It is a little pricey for 1 drink, but that also seems to be the norm these days for specialty drinks. This is more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out. There's no seating, just a bench inside, and everyone waited outside since the interior is on the smaller side. Parking was easy when I went. Overall, a pleasant experience for a yummy matcha drink, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their matcha menu!

If you see a line out the door, you're in the right place! Ayer can get pretty crowded on weekends,…read moreand the parking lot fills up fast. But the line moves pretty steadily! They only allow one party in the shop at a time. You order with one person, and then they send you to the cashier to pay. Once you place your order, the drinks come out pretty quickly. I love a good Blueberry Matcha, so I knew I had to try one. The matcha latte has oat milk and their house blueberry puree. I really enjoyed it! They also have their Matcha Lattes "One," "Two," and "Three." We opted for the Matcha Three which includes salted matcha vanilla ice cream and matcha sorbet, oat milk, and house vanilla syrup. It was pretty good! Lastly, we got the Coconut Pandan Green Rice drink which sounded unique! It's ice blended with coconut cream, pandan coconut rice, and condensed milk. It's a thicker drink with more texture from the rice. I'll be back!

On this visit, I had the caramel banana latte, which had a very nice flavor and was not too sweet. The only complaint (and I'm not docking points here), is that the bathroom is not within the cafe, and you have to get a key card from the staff in order to use the restroom (can be difficult if there is a long line to order).

This is an ok coffee shop... 5-Stars for atmosphere & 3-Stars for drinks. That gives it 4-Stars…read moreover all. There is lots of seating inside and out with spaces for working/studying more inside and relaxing outside. Its also a great place if you want to take some nice IG photos. The staff is friendly and make drinks quickly. But the coffee drinks themselves are just ok. We both had Cortados this time and they were a little tasteless and too hot. Drinkable but not worth coming back for. Last time I came in alone and had a Flat White that was terrible and I dumped it out. I did not have time to ask for another but I'm sure they would have remade it. Wall Writers is located in an office complex but in a good way. There is plenty of free parking and in the afternoon and on Saturdays you can park right at the entrance. The restroom is located in a separate building across the courtyard and watching people search for it can be mildly entertaining LOL It is a nice place to work with plenty of natural light and a wonderful patio for enjoying nice weather. I just wish the drinks were a little better. But because of the convenient location I will probably try it again. Maybe Ill try something iced?

If you park in the back, be prepared for a bit of a trek as you make your way around all of the buildings that don't have back entrances. Phin Smith is a cozy coffee shop (with free Wi-Fi!!!!) that makes for a great study/work spot. They have a small menu with a nice variety of items, and they do each of them really well. Service is great and everyone that I ran into seemed like they loved working there! There is a bathroom in the back and plenty of comfortable seating for getting work done. Overall, Phin Smith gets a 9/10 from me. No issues, tasty coffee, nice bathroom, and quick Wi-Fi!

I had a huge "yikes" moment when I tasted my drink, because I know they'll modify your drink if you…read moredon't like it... but my issue was that I didn't like the entire thing, so I didn't want to say anything. I thought the whole thing was gross. NorCal's Phin Cafe is way better, along with the other Vietnamese egg/ube/pandan/etc coffee places that have been hype on social media lately (Phin Smith does not have some of these flavors - they're behind!). - Coconut Coffee The marbling is kind of cute, but the flavor is not potent or good enough. We've had plenty of coconut coffees pop up in NorCal and Phin Smith's coffee was meh. It was just missing creaminess, sweetness, coconut flavor, wasn't too strong on the coffee, and had a little extra water/crushed ice dilution. If rating this itself, it'd be average to below average. We had to add their self-serve simple syrup to make it taste better. We usually don't need to add anything when ordering at various places in NorCal because they actually get it right. - Peach Breeze Disgusting, one of the worst beverages that I've ever consumed in my life. It literally just tasted like someone opened canned peaches and added water to it. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. I also asked for half ice and a majority of the thing was still large ice cubes. I don't drink coffee, but I'm not sure if I would have liked their other drinks on the menu considering their best selling coffee was barely satisfactory. Other than the subpar drinks, the inside had some sticky spots and could use some cleaning with actual cleaning product. Lots of people seemed to be enjoying themselves on their laptop, and I saw a few people buy their coffee bags. I liked how there was a cute motorbike outside and on the logo. I'll also add an extra star for having reasonable prices, so I didn't feel scammed after drinking this horrible concoction.

Fell pretty hard on my bottom while changing out of their slippery darn purple "flower" dress which likely had weirdly SMALL bust cups that didn't fit me when THIS DRESS was MY SIZE. It was also not suitable with the floor type they had. Some white american kids laughed outside for probably 10 minutes straight and kept mocking me and asking "is she okay???????" and laughing while also repeatedly knocking on my fitting room door and pretending to be staff, "is everything okay??" in high pitched voices. Note that this happened for awhile after I fell hard to the floor. This is a VERY SMALL boutique with like 4 fitting rooms and i was the ONLY one using a room. Anyways staffing did not do anything. I came out after awhile and returned to counter immediately. Service lost. Never coming back for overpriced items, poor service, staff just standing at the counter NEXT to fitting room doing NOTHING.

Kei Coffee is beautifully designed with a great ambiance for getting work done. There are group and solo seats, but it usually gets crowded after 10:30am. The food, especially the burrito, is solid like the other Kei Concept spots. The drinks are just okay though. Besides the Vietnamese coffee, most of the coffee drinks taste incredibly weak. The matcha has also been disappointing every time I've tried it since their grand opening- too milky and watered down despite being ceremonial grade. The hojicha is good. Overall, it's a nice spot to catch up with friends or lock in and work. Drinks are fine if you just need something sweet.
