The Pistachio Latte looked good so we got one hot, one iced so we could share & try the two variations. We asked for almond milk in the lattes. Fitting: pistachios & almonds together. Both were really good. Can really taste the pistachio flavour after stirring the latte. We'll keep Qaffee House in mind whenever we're in the area. Side note: I found their logo quite clever artistically. It made sense after I looked at the name "Qaffee House" and back to logo. The cup is the Latin letter "q" and the symbol with the two dots is the Arabic equivalent to "q", the Qaf (ق). And this leads to Arabic word for coffee: "qahwa". Nicely done blend of languages.

I will say it's pricey but I mean what do you expect for high-quality yummy desserts. The donuts filled with some type of seasonal filling is my fav! The drinks there are also worth trying. My favorite was the tiramisu ice coffee (I think that's what it's called). Onlyyyyy thing I would say is the seating, not much seating for the amount of people who go but nonetheless still great spot.

There's more natural light, the parking lot is easier to enter/exit, and there's no time limit to your visit! Also if you sit by the wall, there are outlets that make this a perfect study spot! The customer service is great and the drinks come out quick, even during the lunch rush. I'm a simple girl so when I see a croquette, it's going on my tray. Today I opted for a kimchi croquette and I was lucky to get the last one. Thankfully, their holiday drinks are still on the menu and the gingerbread latte was delish. I'm not a coffee drinker but the balance of coffee and sweetness was perfect. 10s across the board!

When I first started going to Roggenart European Bakery, I would order a sandwich to go, and…read morewhether it was hot or cold, they packaged it in a clear plastic container. The presentation was beautiful--colorful, appealing, and the bread stayed firm and crusty. They truly use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Unfortunately, that has changed. Now, hot sandwiches are wrapped in paper and then in foil. This method traps moisture, causing the bread--especially their delicious sourdough--to become soggy instead of crisp. It seems like this change was made to save money, but it really takes away from both the presentation and the quality of the sandwich. For a sandwich that costs $12.95, I would gladly pay a few extra cents for the original packaging if it meant keeping the bread fresh and crusty.

Representing 2024 in alphabet series, M is for Mad City Coffee. Like 2023 M, another mixed bag…read more3-star review. I had been to Mad City multiple times in the 2020's, but I shied away from them in 2025 after a couple of not so good times there. I really like their iced chai. That's what I get every time I go and sometimes dirty with espresso shot depending on my energy level. Multiple circular tables and not a bad place to WiFi. It can get a bit crowded and set up is a bit awkward as there are coffee bags, plants, etc. that can get in the way, and sometimes just a bit narrow for a time when it's crowded. I've generally liked the music overall with Sirius XM 60's, 80's, Jazz, Christmas music, etc. As I write about 60's music, I'm hearing Beach Boy's "Good Vibrations" where I'm wifi now, but Mad City doesn't give me such good vibrations any more and has even lived up to their name making me mad. There was one time more recently like in 2024 I was annoyed with whatever the music was, but I made do. The first time I went might have been during Covid with my girlfriend at that time in July 2020, and I was impressed with the chai tea. In October 2020, my company wanted to do something social during this tough year. So, we had a company golf outing where we could be outside. Afterward, I went to Mad City to wifi and did so outside on that nice 75 F day. I think I wifi another time more recently as it was busy inside and was a nice day, and my computer was well enough charged. One of the last times I visited in 2024, I wanted to get the extra large iced chai as I always do. This is more price efficient to get 32 oz as opposed to 24 oz for only 30 cents more. The cashier was snippy & said we don't do the extra large for the iced chai. I said I've always gotten the XL and been coming here for years. They ultimately honored my request, but I was annoyed we got into an argument about it. They have frequent customer cards. This is old school as a lot of places use apps & digital way to track your visits. I don't mind. I'd hand them this card from my wallet, and they'd mark my visit. The very next visit after they argued about not doing the extra large iced chai, I handed my frequent customer card, and I think a different cashier who was also snippy, said oh we don't mark the drink card for chai. I said you always have, and she said it's an "Espresso/Coffee Drink Card", not for tea. I said that was dumb, but I still got the iced chai as that's what I wanted. The next time I went I told the manager, and he did honor the card saying that they don't deny. However, I already was annoyed with Mad City two consecutive times.

The frosting was light and the cake was very moist. We later had the Snickerdoodle cake for my birthday and the cake was on the dry side so that experience was not so good. Their website has a list of all the cakes (with photos and detailed descriptions) and ordering online is really simple. There are a lot of tasty looking options. The cakes come in 6, 8 and 10 inches. We had all 3 sizes. For us 6 inch was good for 4-5 people, 8 inch for 5-8, and 10 inch is ~8-14 (and we had some left over afterwards). The cakes were always ready exactly when requested. They have slices of cake for sale but only for a subset of the cake options. They also have gelato. The interior of the shop is really nice. If we were closer I would like to try it for breakfast or coffee & desserts. The staff members are very friendly. Would definitely go back.

The brewery has new flavors released on Fridays. The huge equipment can be seen from the seating area. Birthday parties and celebrations are allowed inside (max 30 people).

People do seem to respect the 90MIN seating window though so you should be able to find a seat. You order and pay at the counter first and then they give you a table number card. This is how they find you to serve your food. I ordered a regular matcha latte, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on croissant bread and their famous croffle. I loved their matcha latte. It's pre-sweetened so no need to add extra vanilla syrup or anything. This does not taste like a traditional matcha, which in my opinion tastes like dirt. This is a sweeter, dessert like matcha. I didn't care for the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was kind of dry and it tasted like something was missing. The croffle was amazing. It has a nutty, pecan like taste to it and it was topped with vanilla gelato and blueberries. I couldn't really taste the maple syrup but it was delicious nonetheless.

I really enjoyed the cappuccino, and I like that they offer agave as a sweetener. That said, I do wish the cappuccino had a bolder coffee flavor. On its own, it leaned a bit too milky for my taste. However, once I added an extra shot, it made a big difference, I got the richer coffee flavor I was looking for along with an extra boost. The temperature was good, but I did notice that even when I requested it extra hot, it came out the same each time, which was a bit puzzling. Overall, I'd give it 4 stars. It's a nice spot, and I would definitely come back if I'm in the area.
