The line was moving slow. orders took longer because one of the espresso machines was down. The store wasn't looking its best either. There were boxes all over the floor and the whole place felt cluttered and not very presentable. The staff also wasn't particularly friendly. They seemed so focused on getting through their tasks that customer service took a back seat. I get being busy, but even a little friendliness goes a long way. Hopefully this was just an off day because this location could definitely use some attention to both the atmosphere and customer service.

The counter is in the back; they have a large selection of breakfast items but the main draw is coffee. They have all the brewed standards, plus along the rear wall are dozens of roasted beans to buy to go. Beans from all over the world, roasted in different ways, some with flavoring. You can fill up bags to enjoy your favorites at home. During our visit, I ordered a bagel and their star tots. The bagels were great quality, toasted to order with any toppings. They have options for breakfast sandwiches as well. I also had a cold brew. The staff was small, but surprisingly efficient even with the amount of customers coming and going. Prices are super reasonable as well. If you're in the area, this is a cozy spot for breakfast.

We sat in the big comfy chairs. Drank a tropical bubble tea and an iced churro coffee. The tropical bubble tea was good. Not too sweet, a little bit too much ice, but was very cool and refreshing. The iced churro coffee was delicious and a bit indulgent. Lots of cinnamon and nice cold foam top. Very good. We sat for about 30mins and enjoyed our drinks, cooled off, used the restroom and did some people watching. Place was very steady. People talking out and staying in. This seems pretty popular. All sorts of drinks ordered. Nice place lots of tables, booths, and comfy chairs and couch. Main order area is in the corner toward the back, the rest is seating. We'll be back.

The atmosphere is cozy and the young woman that took my order was quite friendly and alert. I ordered food, a baked good and tea. The food was great. The bacon, egg and cheese croissant sandwich was filling and the chocolate chip cookie was delicious. I ordered peppermint tea, which was also tasty. The only negative thing I have to say, is that I had assumed because they had loose-leaf tea, the tea would be served in a teapot. Instead my tea was served in a to-go cup. That was disappointing, as I was hoping to sip out of a tea cup. I know, completely fussy, but wanted to mention it in case anyone else had the same assumption that I did. Overall I would recommend this as a place to gather and do work. They are quite family friendly as there is a kids' table.

The pastelillos: beef, chicken, pork were excellent. Packed with meat and seasoned up so you could enjoy them plain or dress them up in a sweet and spicy island sauce.

I failed in the ok tire taking category because I was too hungry, my apologies... I will do better. For the time being, she indicated they will be doing 1 entree a day Wednesday through Sunday. Call ahead to see what she has! It's going to be good, but I'd hate for you to arrive looking for a robust menu, only to find the simplicity of a single offering :) The island coffee rounded out our lunch and prepared us to conquer the world.

I had to go to the bar to find out what other beers were available and found many others. Other than not knowing what beers, our server was very pleasant and delivered food quickly. Food was served warm and fresh. Baby back ribs were Excellent and not overcooked or reheated. Almond crusted fish was crunchy and thin, very disappointing for $22. Overall restaurant was clean and good atmosphere with a beautiful patio overlooking the boat docks.

Growing up in Lorain I always hoped for nicer restaurants with more creative menus and ingredients. This place gets top marks in my book.

Every time I go home to visit the family, I'm sure to swing by here for a pint and walleye sandwich or cup of French onion soup.
