    Chicken bahn mi
    May-May R.

    I love this coffee shop! Stopped in here after a Yelp event and got a hazelnut latte & chicken bahn mi sandwich. Despite being very busy, my to-go lunch came out quickly. Great flavors & the bread was so soft. The latte was piping hot and delicious. 10/10 recommend. Plenty of street parking in the area & lots of seating inside & out.

    The biscuit I had here was EXACTLY what I needed. Moist, and perfectly buttery. As someone who absolutely loves breakfast sandwiches and biscuits, I can confidently say this one was top tier. The flavors were spot on! There's a good amount of indoor seating, but it's clear everyone around the area knows this place is good! It can't get a tiny bit busy but so worth the wait. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu. This spot is definitely going on my go-to list!

    Forgot to take the "before" pic of the country ham biscuit. You tell me what I thought of it!

    Second time here and I like this spot.. Both times had a biscuit and coffee. The BEC biscuit was great. Tried the country ham biscuit the second time. Flaky biscuit, salty ham, sweet apple butter and cheddar cheese (added egg on mine). First time I ordered to go but I dined in this time. Service was great both times was great. Friendly staff and quick turnaround on my food. Great scene too. Enjoyed sitting here and sipping my well made black eye with steamed cream. The menu is full of a variety of sandwiches and drinks. Stop in, if you nearby...or far away. Worth the trip!

    Very cute and affordable spot in Bellevue! I went Saturday for lunch and it was delicious! I got the Italian sub, macaroni salad and a green smoothie. There sandwiches all topped out at around 10 dollars which is unheard of today. The staff was very friendly and service was prompt. It had a neighborhood feel which was very nice!

    Came to Stir Crazy for the first time on a beautiful Saturday morning. The place was PACKED. All of the indoor and outdoor seating was taken and at some points the line to order was almost to the door. The staff were super friendly and for as busy as they were the food and drinks came out very quickly. They have a really large menu for a cafe, lots of sandwich options and breakfast options too. Oh how I want to give 4 stars but after this visit I can only give 3. Like I said the service was incredible, no notes. Unfortunately the sandwich I ordered just wasn't hitting. I ordered the Cali with the potato salad. My partner ordered the Italian and I was so jealous of his meal, his sandwich was really really good. We also ordered iced vanilla lattes which were very very milky, like barely brown almost white in color. I went back and ordered a quad espresso to add to our lattes which did make them better. I definitely want to give this cafe another shot, I want to love it so badly since we live so close and the staff were soooo friendly. Will update once we come back!

    The sweetest little cafe in lakeside! There's tons of natural light, the staff is present and friendly, the art is beautiful and the food is delicious. I loved the Italian sub. It's a great spot to have a working lunch!

    Ellie T.

    Wonderful cozy cafe! I ordered the maple iced latte with oat milk which was flavorful and creamy! I consumed my drink too fast to take a picture. Pricing is affordable. The people who worked there were very nice and accommodating. My friend ordered a hot chai which is pictured! Great place in a cute neighborhood.

    If you're in Lakeside, this is the coffee spot to go! They had a line to the door, very busy but I received my food and chai latte - hot and ready - within 10 minutes. The bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel was delicious and flavorful. The chai latte had a generous and surprising amount of foam, beautifully sweet and the perfect temperature to drink right away. Loved coming here and will be coming back again!

    I've been going to Stir Crazy for a minute. The ambiance is always nice, even when it's packed. My recommendation is to come earlier rather than later if you're not a big fan of crowds. The pastries are always good, no matter which ones you grab. Their breakfast sandwiches are as well. And of course, I love their drinks. I'm a big iced latte gal myself

    Great place for morning coffee! If I lived in the area, I would be here every day. During a mid-January 2023 business trip to Richmond, I was staying at a hotel about an 8-minute drive away from John Bryan Park (where I went for a morning jog), and found this cafe through Yelp. First, it's easy to find street parking as it's in a residential neighborhood with a mix of apartments, retail shops, and single family bungalow style houses. Second, the interior is pleasant and would be a nice place to work. Third, the coffee (regular drip) is awesome here. Overall, the service was friendly and professional. If you're in this neighborhood north of downtown Richmond and seeking good coffee, be sure to give this place a try!

    Love this place! Living in the neighborhood has this beautiful perk of walking to places and Stir Crazy is one of them. The people are always so friendly and do a great job with the beverages, food and cleanliness of the space. The food is really good. I got my stuff to go today so the pictures don't do it Justice. They usually make beautiful coffees in mugs and you can sit by their faux fire and relax. I get a plain bagel with Pb for my kid and they have plenty options for littles to enjoy. You can get wraps in a bowl if you'd like and it's jam packed with flavor. Everyone is usually nice who comes here too so make a trip over and try it out. Ps-Cellar door is my fave drink not on the main menu, it's so so good! Oh my only tiff is I wish they had sriracha but I usually bring my to-go mini bottle

For those of you who are unfamiliar with a chopped cheese sandwich, let me break it down for you. A chopped cheese sandwich is when a burger is cooked steak and cheese style and put on a hoagie roll. This sounds like it should be a simple concept but so many sandwiches fall short of hitting the mark. THIS ONE DOES NOT! The meat on this sandwich is cooked wonderfully. The seasoning is perfect. The temperature is excellent. It's juicy and not any way overcooked. It smells amazing as soon as you open the bag. The fries are also a sticking point for me. They are golden brown and have just the right amount of salt and crunch to them without being dried out. My lunch is always really in minutes and I enjoy talking to the owner while I wait. He always greets me with a smile and makes my business feel appreciated. There are several other menu options but I am so smitten with this one that I have not ventured to try anything else.

It was great to see how popular they were, given that the sandwiches were excellent. It's close by, so I plan to return soon.

The bartender Luke was on his game and got me water and coffee quickly there after. The place was busy but everything seemed to work like a well oiled machine. The house coffee is solid and they did have a cold coffee option. The spicy bloody mary with the bacon was one of my favorites - definitely a more homemade vibe which was what I prefer. I also got their current jello shot (lemon and lavender) which was refreshing and big for $3. The menu had a bunch of items that caught my eye - breakfast burrito, pancake stacks, eggs benedict, etc. I went with the breakfast burrito with a side of sweet potato has. The burrito was great - filling but not super large, though I would have loved a tiny bit more jalapenos personally. Even without a meat, it was tasty and well balanced, especially with the side sriracha sour cream. I definitely need to come back to try the chicken salad or grilled cheese or some pancakes because everything looked fantastic. Service was quick, food was great, prices were solid. They have outdoor seating, bar seating, and friendly folks working. I'll definitely be back.

The tea eggs were beautifully done and my brain immediately wanted congee with them because they were that delicious. The Quirky Theia was rich with the beef shank and also a bit spicy from the mala paste. It balanced well with the scallion pancake we chose to wrap it in.

The needles are painless to slightly uncomfortable for just a few seconds. Going into her office is an awesome experience in itself. She has a vast selection of beautiful crystals, personally handcrafted teas, and Chinese herbs for sale. The atmosphere itself is inviting and warm. I honestly could just go and sit in the office and it would be therapeutic! Words just can't quite capture it.

My daughter and I had a 2 hr session with her that gave us both a better understanding of one another, along with some of the other people in our lives. It's amazing what she can tell from one's face. She can give insight on others with a good picture. She was spot on with her analysis of several photos that we provided. This too was an incredible experience. I highly recommend Energy Medicine Center to anyone who is seeking an acupuncturist, reiki therapist, help with chronic pain or even if you just feel lost, Remee can help.

As anyone can see by my other reviews, I give a lot of 4 and 5-star ones, and am generally not a complainer. When I rate something low, there's really a reason. There was nothing for me to like about this place. First, there was no signage to speak of. It wasn't real easy to find. I didn't even know I had found the right place until I saw the name of the place on the bags of coffee. When I came in, it was a cold feeling, not a friendly one. Every person I dealt with behind the counter wasn't warm or inviting. I got the feeling that they felt I "should have known" where to order, and "should have known" where to wait, or to pick up my coffee. I got a takeout hot coffee but had to interrupt and kindly ask for a lid. And when I did I got a vibe like I was an irritation or something. I went out to the car with my coffee and told my husband I hoped it was really outstanding coffee with what I had to go through to get it. And you know what, it wasn't all that great. It's not worth going back for. I don't get why people like or recommend this place.
