The turkey was fresh and flavorful, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the bread was toasted just right. That pesto and rosemary hits the spot. The tomato soup was warm, rich, and comforting and so full of flavor and the perfect pairing for the sandwich. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great spot to relax and actually enjoy your meal. Add in a great cup of coffee and the southern peach sweet tea was so delicious. it's the ultimate comfort-food experience. Highly recommend Ballywhack Shack Cafe for a satisfying breakfast/lunch and a cozy vibe. Oh Yes , their staff is amazing. It's so good we came back a second time for my short visit. Will revisit again.

My friends and I stopped by for a quick morning coffee. I went with a banana pudding latte which…read morewas pretty good but I wish the banana flavor was stronger. The coffee was also slightly weak in my opinion. There were several outside tables on the patio which was nice. Saturday morning 8am was quiet but it really picked up around 9-10am.

Inside you'll find a small cafe area where you can sit and enjoy your pastry or drink. To the left you'll find all the pastry hot cold and room temp. And towards the back you'll find the cake and pastry display and where you can order drinks. The staff working there are all very friendly helpful and quick. Every time I've gone it's been pretty busy so expect that when you get there but I feel like it might be because it is a newer place. Regardless highly recommend.

My food was a little cold, but to be fair, I did eat my toast first. The sauce in the small cup was cold as well; I think it would've been even better served warm. The food does take a little while to come out, so if you're really hungry, just be prepared for a bit of a wait. I would definitely come back for the coffee! The food wasn't bad, just not exactly my cup of tea .

​My boyfriend and I decided to check out Happy Place after seeing it all over TikTok. While the…read morecafe itself is small and cute, the experience was a bit of a mixed bag. ​The Service: When we walked in, we stood at the host stand for a while without being acknowledged. Eventually, we just walked up to the cashier. Since it was our first time, we were clearly a bit lost, but there was no "hello" or "welcome" the cashier just handed us menus and told us to order at the counter. The lack of communication made the atmosphere feel a bit unwelcoming. ​The Price & Value: The bad part of the experience was the checkout process. The lowest tip option on the screen was 25%, with the highest being 32%. For a place where you order at the counter and receive minimal service, that felt very steep. ​I ordered the Barrio Breakfast and an horchata, though I was confused as to why I was charged for a more expensive "iced horchata latte" instead. My boyfriend got a bacon, egg, and cheese on white bread and a bottled Coke. Our total came out to nearly $60. ​The Food: To be fair, the food was actually very tasty and we had no complaints about the quality. However, in this economy, it's hard to justify the price for what is essentially a meal you could make at home for a fraction of the cost. ​Overall: It's worth trying once if you're curious, but because of the high prices and the awkward service, I don't think we'll be regulars. I only took a photo of my horchata since I forgot to take a photo of the meal.

My work colleagues told me to visit Cuppi when I'm in the area…read more I walked in, clean space, modern ambiance, and a very subtle jazz piano music being played on their nice sound system. Another thing I noticed is the nice coffee smell without any food smell which is a thing that bothers me at most of the coffee shops!

My doppio espresso was brewed to perfection and I really enjoyed it! They have good food too and a clean bathroom! What else do I need?

The spicy sauce, which seems like a spicier version of the aji, was amazing and a great complement to the food. Service was very friendly and kind. You order first at the cashier, and then just choose any of the tables. There also seems to be patrons coming in for to-go orders.

I ordered a vegetarian crepe, and my friend got an Oreo crepe. Both were decent, but honestly pretty underwhelming. The flavors were fine, just not memorable, and definitely not something I'd go out of my way to get again. I also tried a vanilla chai latte, which was the same story--good, but nothing special. The biggest downside for me was the value. I ended up spending around $17, and it just didn't feel worth it. Between the portion size and the overall taste, it felt like something I could've easily made at home for a fraction of the price. Service was okay. The woman working there had a more straightforward, no-frills personality--not particularly warm or welcoming, but not rude either. Just very to-the-point. The space itself is also pretty small, with limited seating. It's probably best suited for quick stops or takeout rather than sitting and hanging out for a while. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but it didn't give me a strong reason to come back. If you're nearby and curious, it might be worth trying once--but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
