There were different types of tables/seating to choose from and everyone seemed to be smiling and in a good mood. They were playing a mix of R&B that included T-Pain, Snoh Allegra, Musiq Soulchild, and Bruno Mars to name a few. They had beautiful paintings of various influential figures in Black art and culture on the walls, and upcoming events shown on a screen behind the bar which I especially appreciated (They have karaoke on Thursdays!) There was also a band set up in the front, and I instantly made a mental note to return for the live music. - I ordered the iced "LCD" latte to drink and the Avocado Smash for a quick bite. I really enjoyed the LCD. I'd consider it to be more lavender forward but I love floral/herby flavored coffee drinks so I was absolutely okay with that. My avocado toast was pretty good and reasonably priced at $12 - There is an easy, laid back vibe so I don't recommend visiting when in a rush. Mix and Mingle is absolutely a place where you want to stay awhile, and I look forward to visiting again

The aesthetic of this place is super cute and definitely what caught my attention! I walked in and…read moretwo people were standing at the end of the bar. It took a little while before I was greeted, and I feel like they could have been a bit more welcoming and upbeat. I ordered a medium Americano. The cup was fairly large (probably around 12-16 oz), but when I asked how many shots of espresso were in it, I was told just one. Unfortunately, the coffee tasted very watered down. For a cup that size, I think two shots would have made a much better Americano. They did offer to add an extra shot, which I appreciated, but I think the espresso-to-water ratio could definitely be adjusted. With such a cute atmosphere, improving the coffee and making the service a little more energetic would really elevate the experience!

When I got to the place, the food was ready but was told The Mamba was sold out. A little disappointing since a few things were showing sold out online already. I asked the woman behind the counter about a couple more options but was told they were also sold out. So I asked for a recommendation for what they had left and I just got hit with an I don't know. I eventually was able to settle on a Thai Tea after finding the menu. So I originally requested 25% sweetness for both drinks but they both ended up being very sweet which was kind of disappointing. In addition to that, there were no boba straws which made things difficult of course. Food was good from Double Up Burger but I can't get behind the drinks right now. I might give it one more shot but this experience wasn't too good.

The place itself is huge and has literally everything you could need for a breakfast quick stop. However the prices are insanely expensive.

The mushroom coffee was the standout -- not too sweet, not too earthy, just right. The avocado…read moretoast, though, fell flat. The avocado was spread so thin it wasn't even a smash, and it could have used some extra seasoning -- salt, pepper, maybe -- to bring it to life. Underwhelming for a menu centerpiece. The carrot cake fared better, moist and well-spiced. Two more things kept this from five stars. Gluten-free eaters get exactly one option -- the carrot cake -- while the zucchini bread and the rest of the dessert case all run on flour. A café this charming could do more there. And the table service ran cold. The food got dropped at the table with no check-in -- no "anything else I can get for you?" -- just gone. Still, the space, the theme, the coffee, and the carrot cake earn a return trip. Four stars.

I also liked that the display cases have a wide variety of attractive goods for sale. I came here for a couple chocolate chip cookies. JP got the pineapple upside-down cake. Honestly and unfortunately, this was one of the poorest chocolate chip cookies I've ever eaten,. The chocolate chips were small and rather sparse. The texture of the cookie was odd; it was a combination of soggy and crispy. When later I put one in the microwave for a mere 15 seconds, it fell completely apart. (As an aside, the Richmond Hwy Costco sells chocolate chip cookies in their deli that are quite good.) I thought though that pineapple upside-down cake was good, though the cake could have stood more pineapple flavor. Bonus points for Hollin Hill Pastry Shop having milk for sale.

Sunday Brunch day! Today I was craving a nice Omelette, and…read moremy brunch philosophy is always quality over quantity. And since it's officially fall, I couldn't resist adding a little pumpkin flavor to my Sunday with a pumpkin spice latte. I actually started at another restaurant that I won't name. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite meet the moment. I sat at the bar for almost 10 minutes without any acknowledgment from the bartender. I completely understand that Sundays during brunch can be busy, but a simple "Hey, I'll be right with you" would have made all the difference. So I decided to take my beautiful self to HomeGrown. ‍ And I'm glad I did! I knew it was Sunday brunch, so I expected it to be busy. Luckily, there were two open seats at the bar, and I was shown to one right away. The bar was busy, but the bartender immediately acknowledged me and let me know she'd be right with me. That small gesture was appreciated, so I happily sat back and waited. My bartender/waitress, Ashley, was friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone at the bar was taken care of. My food came out in a timely manner, and the omelet was really good! I substituted the bread for challah, and let me tell you... that was a good decision. And of course, I had to try the pumpkin spice latte. Delicious! Overall, I enjoyed my Sunday brunch experience at Homegrown and would definitely come back to try something else on the menu. Sometimes it really is the little things -- a simple acknowledgment, good service, good food, and a little fall flavor. Sunday brunch: redeemed.
