So the flight was for different ice lattes paired with a pastry, which was a croissant a Blondie brownie, a macaroon and lastly.strawberry cake for $25. It took a while for the flight to be prepared because I think they're a little bit shortstaffed on a Monday morning, but they had a lot of comfortable places to sit and wait. The corn beef sandwich came out good and I mentioned it was simple because it's literally just corn beef with some white bread and some cheese, but it was actually pretty tasty for breakfast. The coffee flight came out and it's on a large paddle and it looked really delicious. I have to say the regular flavored lattes and the croissant weren't my favorite choices, but as I started moving down the paddleboard towards flavored lattes and the Blondi bar, it was pretty good. My favorite latte was the butter beer and my favorite pastry actually turned out to be the Blondie brownie bar. The inside has enough seating for about 50 people and it's really cutely decorated. I highly recommend stopping in if you're in the mood for a coffee after a day of shopping in Ellicott city.

Looking at the reviews, I was super excited to try out this quaint cafe in Old Ellicott. The…read moreservice was okay and the owner came out after to check in everything. There were 6 of us, and they were able to put two tables together to accommodate us. I was overall disappointed with the food. The waffle which I paid $5 for was super small and there were just chunks of sugar in it. I also ordered scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese. The spinach came out on the side of the eggs and was uncooked. The cheese was not melted, and the eggs were burnt (dark brown and dry). The waitress was kind enough to take the eggs back for the cheese and spinach to be mixed/melted. They were still burnt and flavorless. I picked around and ate what I could. I also ordered some kind of spinach and feta pastry from the front case, which was good. We also all enjoyed the homefries which were crispy with a unique seasoning. We ordered the stuffed french toast which had a great flavor, but it wasn't really stuffed, there were just toppings on it. My nephew ordered the chicken and waffles. He's 15. I'm guessing that waitress assumed he was a kid and gave him the kids portion. Either way, the fried chicken looked like two pieces of frozen chicken schnitzel. My mother ordered the Reuben and did not like it at all because it lacked flavor.

Why am I seeing an open trash can while I'm ordering? They could have hidden it a little better so customers don't have to see it. Plus, the restrooms could be cleaned more thoroughly.

They have a cute setup, but the interior design and layout could use some improvement. it feels a bit claustrophobic.

The chimichurri sauce was the savory icing on chop. (I couldn't resist) My eggs were scrambled spread eagle on the plate . I never seen eggs presented in that way. Everything was hot and delicious. I am honestly writing this months later , after the fact, but I don't remember having a customer service issue. They made my favorite carrot ginger drink. I had 2 ! So spicy . One of the bartenders used to work at the Blue Lagoon and I was so happy to see her. It's so funny how you make strangers apart of your life while enjoying your meal. You don't know anything about them yet you are sad when they miss work. I think that is the "American Dream". Work hard enough for someone else to be your "server". Or your nail tech.

Anyways, I have never had a problem here ...thinking ....Nope! It's a good place to sit and have dessert. No loud music and ample space for a big group.

They have cheese tea here, so my wife and I decided to give it a try. Cheese tea is a cold tea…read moredrink with foam on top that is made with cream cheese, whipping cream, and milk. It started in Taiwan, where they used powdered cheese, powdered milk, salt, and whipping cream. In China, they made a version that used real cream cheese, real milk, salt, and whipping cream. Bengong's Tea is a franchise company that originated in China in 2014. They have over 100 stores in China and plan to expand in the USA . Being a franchise means their drinks are based on standardized powders. That being said, we bought 2 drinks to see if they make milk teas as good as some claim. 1) Burnt Caramel Cheese Milk Tea It had black tea with lots of milk. The cheese foam and burnt caramel drizzle was on top. We got 50% sugar and less ice. The proper way to drink cheese tea is to sip it so you taste the foam first and then the tea flows through it. Don't use a straw. My wife hated the flavor of the milk tea. I thought the foam was interesting and the milk tea was typical except for the excessive milk powder flavor. The foam tasted like whipped cream with a hint of cream cheese. The caramel drizzle had a slightly burnt flavor and moderate sweetness. The foam and caramel were good and should be paired with a different milk tea. I don't recommend this. The milk tea is the problem here. 2) Black Rice with Taro Boba Milk Tea It had black rice tea and milk with taro boba and brown sugar boba. We got 50% sugar and no ice. The cup was full even though we got no ice. Nice! It had a modest milk flavor with a light roasted rice flavor. There were lots of brown sugar and taro boba. Not much taro flavor in the boba. Loved the brown sugar boba and the large amount! This will fix any boba craving. Overall, it was very satisfying in both the tea and boba. The store space had two businesses, Chin Xi'an Style restaurant and Bengong's Tea. When you enter the dining room, Bengong's Tea is on the left. If you order at the cash register, you'll see a sign that says, "CASH ONLY." They have an order kiosk for credit cards. There is a 15% Yelp Check-in discount that can only be used at the cash register. Beware, the overhead menu had old prices. Everything is 75 cents more. The service person might be hidden behind the counter. It looked like no one was there until we got close to the counter and looked over. There was a woman sitting low behind the register area. She was short to start with. The service was polite and quick. The dining room and restrooms were clean. They are located in the corner of Princess Shopping Center. There is plenty of free parking. Their menu had some interesting drinks, so we'll be back. This place is more of a 3-star than a 4-star rating. Since this is a first visit, I'm giving lots of leeway.
