My first visit and impression is that they are pretty good! I ordered a dirty chai so I didn't have to deal with the, how many sugars/creamers question that some others pointed out they don't like. A dirty chai if you don't know like I didn't is normal chai tea with milk and then a shot of espresso. Heck ya! I also got the spinach artichoke quiche and a slice of sourdough bread with blackberry jam. There was a bit of a wait, this isn't Starbucks. While I was waiting I looked around a bit. It's true the inside is not really conducive to dining. There are a couple of small tables and then one bigger table that used to be a door. Well it is still a door but is functioning as a table. There are a couple of benches outside and some stand up tables around the front patio cover. This is still set up more like a walk up custard shop. I took some pictures to post on Yelp of various things, feeling like a spy.
Food comes and I got it to go. I was going to stand outside, however the sun is by now shining on the stand up tables and benches on one side and on the other side are some screaming kids and a mom. Ok, home it is. I get in my car and flip open the lid. My first thought when he handed me the take out container was that it felt light. Both of my food items are in there. The quiche is more like a spinach, egg and cheese muffin cup kind of thing, not really what I would call a quiche. It's small but I think I only paid $2.25 for it? Plus they discounted my whole bill .75 because I ordered a coffee and food. I grabbed a bit of the quiche cup thing and it is very good. Most definitely savory. The quiche was stuck on top of my sourdough bread which I didn't like so I just slide the quiche off the bread and closed the lid so I could eat it when I got home.
Home and the quiche is gone in a few bites and then I spread the blackberry jam on that nice slide of bread. Oh now that is heaven. I am wishing I had gotten two slices of bread. Heck maybe even a whole loaf? Do they sell that stuff by the loaf? I can't remember. They should though.
So yeah, I'm very happy I finally tried the place since I have lived here 3 years now and have driven by the defunct Nana's Frozen Custard, even looking it up to see what was going on with it. Then finally seeing the new sign for Sourdough Cuppa Joe but just never making it there. If they were open on Sunday I would have already been at least 10 times.
I may up them a star when I come back and try that custard that they have. The flavors look amazing. read more
