SOLIDDDD. ooey gooey yummy gouda cheese, classic sausage flavor and im not sure what bread this is but toasted to perfection and didn't cut up the roof of my mouth (like most sandwiches do). YUMd: - caramel latte w. coconut milk. decent latte. now that I've become a regular coffee drinker, I've come to realize I like a lighter and less decadent coffee bean, not so dark and bitter, so I was pleased with the flavor of theirs. I've been switching from my regular oat milk to coconut milk recently and think I like oat better, so I'll have to come back to try it with oat. coconut milk can sometimes make the drink taste watered down to me. service, etc.: the baristas were friendly and sweet. full house on a Sunday afternoon and everyone was grinding out, which was perfect because sometimes I get overstimulated working in loud cafe's. grind cafe's are my fav. minus a star for seat comfort and finicky outlets but that's literally the only "issue"

There is some street parking as well as some paid ramps. I came in on a Saturday morning around 10AM. By then, it was busy, but I was able to still find a seat. The staff were kind and I think as pleased with the number of drink options as well as pastries - gluten free, too! I enjoyed a seasonal lemon bar latte (yum!) and a gluten free banana chocolate chip muffin. I will likely be back. The coffee is great, the parking situation is just a bit weird.

It's funny how poor customer service completely changes your attitude towards a business you used…read moreto enjoy. I used to live in the area and when the small coffee shop opened I was so exited to have that in our community and was happy to support them - even if some coffee beverages were top dollar. I was in the area today, and decided to stop in since I no longer live in the area and wanted to enjoy a good brew. Unfortunately, the experience I had left me leaving with a bitter taste in my mouth - and it wasn't from the coffee. I thought it goes without saying, but when a customer greets you, you should greet them back, not just stare. It would be even better if your staff would greet each customer first - make them feel welcome. Maybe I'm a millennial channeling boomer energy, but for years I'm noticing the customer service disappearing from a lot of businesses. I love that connection, but I'm understanding that some people see only a paycheck and skid by with minimal customer service and that is the new way. I don't plan to visit this establishment again. I wish the barista with star tattoos would have put in enough customer service energy that she did with her impeccable makeup.

The parking was a little confusing and I chose to park in a ramp close to the hotel. There were not many other customers at the time of ordering and I chose the matcha.

While waiting for a friend who was at an appointment upstairs, I wandered down and found Ambrosia. I was lucky. I found a clean setting that offered a very pleasant view (ok...a little snowy and windy) and two employees who were polite, eager to assist and smiling. I enjoyed a hot chocolate (with a touch of rasberry as I recall) and a fresh chocolate/chocolate chiip muffin...which was warmed by one of the staff members. This is not a setting that's going to generate tons of cash. However, it is definitely a place that likely generates pleasant surprises, and positive guest reactions. Congratulations!

Walking in, it was very warmly designed and had plenty of space and seating options from solo or group settings. There's some outlet options around as needed as well.

The staff was welcoming and assisted promptly and explained to me that it was like a latte with cinnamon swirl syrup which sounded great to me. It's definitely a nice spot to stop by if you're in the area!

We arrived on a…read morereally rainy day, almost too cold and wet to go out but I wanted my husband to try a little bit of my comfort food from when I was younger. We started with ALL the pancakes. We ordered lefsa, pancakes, potato pancakes, all the toppings, eggs, bacon, etc. If you had seen what we ordered you would have thought more people were joining us- but nope, just the two of us. We also ordered a plate of the Swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes- we ordered the sauce separate but it came on top. Honestly, I think I would pass on these but they were super filling! I cannot wait to come back here and a cold day was the perfect day to try all of the sweets. We did stick around and look around the store- if gave slightly cheaper than Lunds vibes. We purchased some sparkling water and off we went.

First things first--the vibe is chef's kiss if you're into cozy, low-key, intentional spaces. It's quaint without trying too hard, and it doesn't have that loud, chaotic coffee shop energy. I was actually able to focus, which says a lot. Now what really sets this place apart? It's tucked inside Zawadi Center, and that matters. This isn't just a grab-your-drink-and-go type of café. You're surrounded by culture, community, and a space that feels like it means something. Between the event space, the restaurant, and the overall energy, it feels layered... like you accidentally found a hidden gem that locals want to keep to themselves. The refresher? Solid. Did what it needed to do. No complaints there. If I had to give a little Yelp Elite honesty: seating can be a bit limited depending on timing, and if you're someone who needs complete silence, this might not be your spot when it gets busier. It's more "focused but alive" than "library quiet." Overall, this is the kind of place you come to reset, get a little inspired, and maybe romanticize your life for a couple hours. Will I be back? Absolutely.

It's tucked away in a strip mall, blink and you'll miss the entrance. Make sure you get there early as they do sell out. During my last visit I ordered on a Friday morning around 7am. I hand selected two dozen donuts and the employee working was friendly and helpful. I was a little shocked to see that my total was $45 but it is what it is. The glaze donuts are a staple and the filled jelly was also a winner. I wish I was able to try a bunch of them but how many donuts can one person eat?! I would love to see a couple options of donut holes but it's possible I missed them during my visit. I'll continue to stop in for special occasions for the team.
