When I was in, the special was meatloaf with mashed potatoes. I ordered the Polynesian Salad and it was made fresh and ready to eat in under 10 min.

It is also a good spot to bring your laptop and get some work done. Because it's a library, people aren't loud like so many coffee shops.

I kept going back…read morebefore writing this because I wanted to be fair to the owner and make sure, I wasn't just catching them on an off day. Unfortunately, after multiple visits, I can confirm: it was not a fluke. It was a pattern. A very salty pattern. The good first: Every single time, the staff has been fantastic. Friendly, helpful, and honestly carrying this place on their backs. The food also comes out hot, and the restaurant is clean, which I genuinely appreciate. Breakfast The sandwich with egg, bacon, garlic aioli, and brioche bun was actually good. The egg and aioli did their best to negotiate peace with the sodium levels, and somehow it worked. The cozy rolls, when served warm, are excellent. Emphasis on warm. Once they cool off, the magic leaves the building. The sides were overall solid and pretty consistent. Lunch The meats are always well-cooked, both in texture and flavor. The burger was also cooked perfectly every time, which makes what happened next even more confusing. The sides were generally great, though the cheesy potatoes seem to spin a flavor wheel before service. One visit they were rich and creamy, the next they seemed to have lost the will to live. Now for the rough part Breakfast The breakfast is, without exaggeration, wildly salty. Not "a little heavy-handed." Not "seasoned generously." I mean "did someone drop this directly into the Dead Sea?" salty. It was the only meal I had that day because I could still taste it hours later. I wasn't digesting breakfast so much as preserving it. The redeye bacon had a good texture, but any trace of pork or coffee flavor had apparently been arrested and removed from the premises. No syrup was served to balance it out, so what you get is not that classic redeye flavor -- just a full-force sodium uppercut. I don't know if it's the brine or the cure, but wow. The biscuits and gravy were a real struggle. I usually love biscuits and gravy, but this felt less like breakfast and more like a personal challenge. I couldn't taste the sausage, there was no hot sauce available on any visit, and the only real notes coming through were salt and grease. It had visibly separated to the point that it looked like the gravy had given up. My only suggestion there would be less salt, less grease, maybe unsalted butter, and a better stir before it hits the table. Lunch The burger was cooked well, but it mostly tasted like meat wearing a tiny decorative amount of coleslaw and sauce as an accessory. It needed more flavor and more of everything on it. One extra note For those of us who used to come for the Cup of Heaven back in the day: it's not on the menu unless you Frankenstein it together yourself. I understand there's an effort to move on from the past, and I'm not trying to compare the old place to the new one. But when something was that beloved, it might be worth keeping around. Some ghosts deserve to haunt the menu. Overall, I really wanted this place to win me over. The staff is wonderful, the restaurant is clean, and there's clearly potential here. But right now, too much of the food tastes like someone in the kitchen is being paid by the grain of salt. -

A Topeka/Midwest native, I spent most of my adolescence & young adulthood in San Diego,CA got exposed to a lot & missing boba was something I did not have to do thanks to this cute lil cafe!! Only star down would be because I hate when good things change & this place has not gone back to normal since Covid with the way that the register cart/bar is at the edge of the entrance still not allowing people inside anymore. I miss the way it was, the seating along the edge of the walkway is nice enough but not inside the establishment. I can't be picky though, this might be the only spot I can get boba at in town! I'd like coffee on the menu as well, I'm a fanatic. But I can respect their tea only & made it easy taking my 11yo cousin there today who I'd take the coffee out of her drink anyway. I wish they had some nicer looking pastries! Otherwise, still truly a 10/10 will definitely visit again.

The food was top-notch, bursting with fresh flavors that never let me down. The carrot cake was a slice of heaven--moist, perfectly spiced, and topped with a smooth, rich cream cheese frosting that complemented the cake's warmth beautifully. Each bite was just the right balance of sweetness and depth. The hot chocolate was decadent and comforting, with a velvety texture and just the right amount of chocolatey richness. It was served piping hot, topped with a fluffy cloud of whipped cream, making it the perfect pairing to finish off a cozy night. The service was impeccable - our server was warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambience was perfect for a night out, with a cozy yet lively vibe. And the live music was the highlight of the evening, creating such a great atmosphere. Five stars all the way - I highly recommend it!

The ordering process took about 15 minutes because the system was having issues, but I was patient and told the employee it was fine since I wasn't in a rush. When the food came out, the system completely shut down, so they couldn't process any payments. I handed my card to the employee and told him he could either bring it back once the system was working or I'd settle up at the end. About 25 minutes into our meal, he came to the table, returned my card, and told us, "Your meals are on us tonight," which I thought was a really kind gesture. I even planned to leave a cash tip before leaving. But as my son was finishing his meal, the same employee came back and said, "The systems are back up," and stood there waiting for us to pay. It made things awkward, especially after being told the meal was complimentary due to the inconvenience. I completely understand that things happen and that businesses need to be paid, but the way it was handled came across as unprofessional and confusing.
