I was surprised by how big the avocado toast was- one slice of toast under avocado spread with a fried egg on top plus cut fruit on the side - all in the box! So good. The servers were friendly, knowledgeable & fast. The restaurant can get loud depending on the customers, but we were able to have a normal conversation without being bothered. Such a friendly atmosphere with regulars greeted with hugs and jokes. 2-hour parking -free- on the street out front.

I ended up with the Sweather Weather, which personally needed a bit more flavor. The staff member who served me was very nice and provided detailed information about their seasonal menu. It was fun to explore the coffee shop's decor while I waited for my drink. Not too much seating, so it does seem like a grab-n-go place. A fun place for sure!

The cafe also seemed to be really into stranger things as they have an entire drink menu inspired by it! I really liked the decor, and the service was good too. The employee seemed a bit nervous but ultimately got our order efficiently. People seem to come here often, so it's a very welcoming place over all. Drinks were good, plenty of options for bread, and a breakfast menu!

I ordered a flight so I could sample many. The samples were large. The food was excellent. Menu options extend beyond typical pub fare. We started with the fried pickle chips which were actual chips and not pickle spears like some places offer. I ordered the POKE BOWL WITH KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN. It was super delicious. You can't beat the outdoor seating with river view, unless it was hot like when we visited. We opted for indoor seating in the cooled environment. Staff was excellent.

The drinks look super nice, but I felt they were a bit overpriced for what you get and they are very sweet.

Overall, it's a decent spot if you want a quick drink, but I probably wouldn't make a special trip just for it.
