I had a lovely dinner at Darjeeling Kitchen & Cafe and I am certainly looking forward to my next…read morevisit. The restaurant felt homey and I could tell there were many regulars and other return visitors, for good reason! Ordered: Masala Chai ($4.50)- this tasted authentic, was nicely spiced, and wasn't too sweet. I only wish the cup was bigger. Steamed momo ($12+)- I like how you have the option to mix and match. We ordered the mixed vegetable and the oyster mushroom and surprisingly I much preferred the oyster mushroom variety. The mixed vegetable momo tasted more earthy to me. Himalayan rice set ($20.5)- this was a very nice assortment- there was rice, lentil dal, your protein of choice- (I chose beef brisket), stir fried cabbage, broccoli rabe, pickled vegetables and crisp flatbread. The only downside in my opinion was that the brisket wasn't too tender and I didn't love the beef flavoring or preparation. The rest of the items were so delicious! I've been thinking about this meal ever since I left the restaurant. You don't want to skip this place.

The momos took a while but the curry was out quickly. Both were so flavorful! The sauce that came with the kothey momo cut perfectly through the mild chicken filling. The momo was soft but had a crisp bottom which melted in your mouth. The curry was creamy and had a hint of spiciness without setting your tongue on fire. All in all solid food!

My bacon egg and cheese had no seasoning or taste whatsoever, it felt like I was just eating texture. Their signature hot chocolate also just tasted watered down and from a machine Service - felt off.. the cashier was an objectively nice lady but there was no hello, thanks, please, or anything like that. There were a few times I had to repeat my order because the barista would choose to use the loud af coffee grinder (conveniently right next to the cashier and where you place an order) when I was ordering (and other customers as well) Ambiance - to each their own, but not my vibe. There's a very edgy dramatic vibe where they play epic music you'd hear in boss battles and I think that's what they're going for at Artpresso Wasn't what I was looking for at 9am.

The pancakes were delicious, they were light and fluffy and the buttercream added a nice touch to them. The guava flavor paired well with the pancakes.

The workers were friendly, overall great experience. I will definitely be back.

Me and my girl was looking for a coffee shop that was laptop friendly and closed late since we came after work. I was a bit disappointed that they did not serve any alcoholic beverages as I saw a lot of good reviews on that portion. We came, we sat down on a Saturday night. There was only one person at the front and it seemed she was also managing the serving part so it did get pretty hectic at some point. We decided to order the Budae Jigae (Hot Pot), there is no way to alter the spicy level so for those who love spicy spicy, this is for you. Me and my friend was really disturbed by the fact that we were treated some type of way. Maybe it's because we weren't Korean or? Service was slow asf. It took a really long time for them to serve me my iced strawberry matcha drink. And even longer for the food. It was also hard to tag her down, and she seemed pretty annoyed that we had to ask her for multiple items. We were a party of 2 and she only gave us one set of items. I went again by myself the next day to see if it was better service and it was pretty packed. There was actually 3-4 people at the front but even then it was so hard to get someone to take my order, ask for napkins, for the check, etc. While there was no time limit on Saturday, there was a time limit of 1 hour and 30 minutes on Sunday. would I go again? Maybe, but it's def veering towards the no side.
