Love the interior and how big it was. It is as big as a barn! Just be careful if you go upstairs or downstairs as it's definitely hard on the senior citizens, but I managed! I had a veggie omelette with grits and a biscuit that were very good and so was the coffee with the company. I will definitely be back.!

The cashiers are always friendly. Prices are reasonable for 2026. Portion size is right what it needs to be and leaves me full. I have been getting the vegetarian omelet most of the time and have liked it a lot! Glad this place is getting a lot of business.

We had a very nice brunch here, it was affordable and very relaxed. The scones were super good and…read moreI appreciated the homemade fig jam and clotted cream. The teas were good as well. It was nice to meet the owners and hear from the chef. They were nice. The online menu needs to stay current with the menu in the restaurant. There was some confusion about the prices on the menu and what services were available.

Went for a special afternoon tea, but unfortunately probably ranks last on places I've ever done…read morehigh tea. It is a claustrophobic space and too much going on. They need to reduce and clean...especially the bathroom full of hanging clothes. There were items on the menu that were not available, but overall the tea part was fine (they just took a while to bring out sugar, milk etc. that you'd expect to come with it). The most disappointing part was that I'd assumed since it was a cafe that there would be fresh pastries or other items homemade on the tea platters. The scones seemed fresh, but a lot of the other appetizer items looked like the frozen hors d'oeuvres from Costco or something, which was super sad. Overall, I would have expected more for the price and the non-optional $20 gratuity.

Delicious bánh mì and appetizers! But the Bún Chả Hà Nội and the Pork Belly and Beef Wrapped in…read moreBetel Leaves are absolute must try--both are packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The popcorn chicken is crispy, juicy, and incredibly satisfying, and the bánh mì que is another must-try. I also love that this location offers authentic Vietnamese dishes like Bún Chả Hà Nội and the Grilled Pork Noodle Tray, not just bánh mì. Everything we've tried here has been fresh and delicious. What really sets this Vivi apart is its unique menu. I've been to other Vivi locations in Georgia, and they don't offer many of these specialty dishes. This location definitely stands out and is well worth a visit if you're looking for more than just a great bánh mì.

I think this is a great tea spot but with food as an afterthought. Unfortunately there was no bahn…read moremi available so I will need to come back and try that. I ordered the Korean style wings and French fries. It took awhile for the order to come out. I asked to dine and but they gave it to me in to go boxes, the vibe was like they wanted us to leave. The wings were fairly large and crispy, however they did not have much sauce at all. I ordered the swicy ones and wish I could get a better idea of how it tasted. The French fries could have used some more seasoning. The ones I did taste though tasted great. I'm not sure what all they put with the salt on the fries but it was really good, I just wish there was more coverage on the fries.

This has quickly become one of my favorite coffee and breakfast spots around Lake Norman! Their…read moredrink menu is so much fun, with all of the classic espresso drinks you expect plus creative seasonal specialties. I ordered their take on a vanilla iced latte with almond and caramel, and it was such a treat without being overly heavy. Next time I'm already planning to try the iced honey latte, which sounds like it'll be a little less sweet but just as delicious. The breakfast sandwiches were equally impressive. We ordered both the Rocco and the Hank, and they were perfectly seasoned, fresh, and as soon as they hit our table I wanted to take a bite. The English muffins tasted fresh, the eggs, cheese, and toppings were high quality, and I especially loved the dollop of hollandaise sauce on my sandwich--it was like a portable Eggs Benedict! The atmosphere was just as enjoyable as the food. There was plenty of seating inside and outside, the staff was incredibly friendly and prompt, and the café was spotless with adorable décor (plus some fun Lake Norman merchandise for sale). The patio is also dog-friendly, which is always a bonus. Whether you're looking for a quick coffee, a delicious breakfast, or a place to relax for a bit, this is definitely a spot worth visiting. I'll be back soon!

This coffee shop & cafe has so much potential, but unfortunately I was disappointed by the poor…read morecustomer service, drinks, and cleanliness. The decor of the shop is cute and there are lots of seating options available both indoor and outdoor. There is free wifi available so it's a good place to get some work done. Parking was readily available and easy. Customer service: the barista who took my order was cold, direct, and rushing to finish helping me so she could go back to her family sitting in the cafe and keep talking to them. She didn't want to do her job, she continued to walk away from the counter to socialize and only walked back to the counter when someone came in. They call your food orders out rather than bringing it to you, customers buss their own tables, and I never saw any of the workers wipe off tables after people left. They have a 95 sanitation rating. Food: decent (I got the Turkey Apple Panini), but it was overwhelmed by the honey mustard and the plate still had residue on it from a previous meal (gross!). Drink: I got an iced vanilla chai. There is a previous yelp review warning against the chai tea and they were right - it did not taste like a chai, just like watered down & milky black tea. I didn't try any of their coffee drinks so I can't speak to that, but I don't have high hopes. Willow Wood Coffee would not be my first choice as there are so many other coffee shops around that have excellent food, drink, and customer service.

I'm going to give it to you straight--as always…read more This joint hasn't been open long but the demand is high! And there is a reason for that. It's called Teriyaki Madness--the thing people love but it's rarely brought up in conversation (Teriyaki, not madness). How often do you hear someone say, "Hey! Don't you love Teriyaki Chicken?" Does this happen at church? On a phone call? On the train? With the Uber driver? The answer is no. But we all love Teriyaki! At least 97.3% of us. I have only ordered the Chicken Teriyaki with Noodles (a little extra on pricing). The Chicken Teriyaki was great! The noodles were good but only because they somehow vibed with the Chicken. To put this in perspective, the Chicken Teriyaki was like MJ and the noodles were like Pippen. I'll try the Steak with Rice next time. Tbh, the prices are a little high, but I did order the noodles on the junior size to sample so not the best value, and the noodles cost extra. In other words, you don't want Chicken with Pippen. You want Chicken or Steak with Rice. Disclaimer: No offense to Scottie Pippen. He played a huge role in their championships. Overall, Teriyaki Madness is called Teriyaki Madness for a reason. If the noodles were great, it would be called Noodle Factory or Noodletasia or Wadoodle My Noodle. It's a when-in-Rome kind of thing. Never been to Rome but you know what I mean. If not, you can Google it. And the staff is great. They are not rude at all. A few of them might be shy but just be kind and they will open up. The staff is actually great. Recommended!

Unfortunately the two chefs left the restaurant and now it's just become another so-so Thai spot. It lacks spice and everything we've had for the past few months has been bland and underwhelming.

I came here because of all the great reviews, but after my experience, I honestly don't understand…read morethe hype. From the moment we walked in, we felt unwelcome. The host/server didn't greet us or say hello--instead, she looked confused that we were even there. When we asked if we could sit at the bar, her response was, "Um... yeah, I guess," which immediately made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. After we sat down, she continued staring at us as if we weren't supposed to be there. The service only got worse from there. She was rude while taking our order, then spent most of the time sitting directly across from us on her phone. She never once checked on us, asked how the food was, or if we needed refills or anything else. It was some of the most inattentive and unprofessional service I've experienced. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for it. It was mediocre at best. The vegetables in my curry were clearly freezer-burned, which completely ruined the dish. I also ordered soup with tofu in it, and the tofu tasted like it had been fried in oil that hadn't been changed in months. It had an old, rancid, greasy flavor that made it almost impossible to eat. Overall, the poor customer service and disappointing food made this a terrible experience. I won't be coming back, and I definitely wouldn't recommend it.
