It was my lucky day, I found parking right outside the front door! The downtown is super cute and decorated for Christmas & quite busy with shoppers so my friends had to park a few blocks away.

My husband and I went on a Thursday evening around 6pm and it was already packed! The host was still able to seat us right away. We wanted to try everything but settled for the roasted carrots and Za'atar & cheese flatbread for appetizers. The carrots were absolutely incredible. For entrees I ordered the Duck confit biryani on recommendation from our waiter, and my husband who is vegetarian ordered the Ful medammes. We both really enjoyed the flavors of the meal and were very full after. Nineveh is definitely a place we will be coming back to and will recommend to family and friends!

The ambience is beautiful inside…read more The best part of the Baked Eggs dish was the cheese. The cheese was so flavorful, creamy, and delicious. Next best was the bread - it was perfectly soft inside with a crispy crust. Between how oily the dish was and my nose running from the increased spice as I continued eating, I wouldn't return for this dish. The eggs weren't noticeable in appearance or taste- I had to search for them. The "creamy grits" were creamy, but the black pepper taste was STRONG. Definitely ordered the side for the "creamy" factor, hoping when the server said harissa in the eggs would have a mild spice, that the grits would calm my mouth. The amount of pepper made this unsuccessful. But if you like black pepper a lot then you'll enjoy them. My son enjoyed the beignet's. The server was also the host and he was kind. It was easy to get his attention when needed. I didn't see anyone with a grin on their face after taking bites of their food. I looked around quite a bit out of curiosity. So for ambiance, kind and prompt service, and the possibilities of the menu I gave it 4 stars. We only tried the few things I mentioned. I did also appreciate the bottle of water ready on every table. Note that there is no kids menu and it's mostly table seating. So maybe try on your own or with other adults, and leave the kids at home?

The greatest breakfast sandwich I have ever had. Zero complaints. Lots of soft scrambled eggs, balanced nicely with the fresh vegetables, thick cut bacon, and the sweet mayonnaise. The toasted garlic croissant bread was the perfect touch. The size of this sandwich was great, with it being on the bigger side. I loved absolutely everything about it. This sandwich is a must try when visiting Just Cuz Cafe. You will by no means be disappointed in giving it a try!

I was a little confused by the cut--it felt like a larger piece with a small section still attached, almost like a chicken breast cut into uneven portions. I ordered it medium-well; the edges were cooked that way, but the center leaned more toward medium-rare. The fries were okay, but a bit cold and sad, honestly . The Diet Coke was flat. On the positive side, the service was super nice and attentive, the bathroom was very clean, and the overall vibe was pleasant. Because of the great service, I'm still giving them 5 stars. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area and try something else on the menu.

Wayside is a super impressive vegan cafe that gets the thumbs up from plant-based eaters and…read moreomnivores alike. You order and then pick up your food at the counter and seat yourself at this casual spot. The menu, it seems, has nothing bad. We had the tahini bowl, the arugula and beet salad, and the mac and cheese bowl with soy curls. The tahini bowl is the platonic ideal of a grain bowl and is so delicious and well balanced in its flavors that you don't even notice that it's really healthy for you. The mac and cheese bowl is more indulgent but still doesn't make you feel like a bowling ball. Their vegan cheese is impressively creamy. Our lunch buddies had the almost famous bowl and the big dad salad and loved their food. Probably most impressive of all were the desserts. Vegan dessert is difficult to do well, but their cheesecake and gochujang cookie were so good, they would beat out a lot of dairy-containing desserts.

Our family of 6 went for Mother's Day Brunch. We were seated immediately and given drink menus…read more After ordering drinks, we went to the buffet. To begin with, the buffet was single sided which created a long line to get food. When we got to the buffet, they were out of plates and every pan was empty. Other tables around us were waiting for plates and food also. When the food finally came, it was underwhelming. Avocado toast wasn't toasted, just sliced avocado on bread. The chicken for chicken and waffles was dry and the waffles were empty every time we went to check for more. The eggs Benedict was bland and not warm. If you are going to do brunch, please plan ahead with enough servers and have a plan to keep food out. Having to continually wait for food and then to find it flavorless was disappointing. Our server didn't take our plates and it's a good thing because they were always out of plates. I guess we had hoped for a better experience. I'd recommend passing on brunch here. Maybe their other menu items are good but based on the limited options we tried, I doubt it. Save you money and even more so, your time. Go elsewhere. I'm sorry I had to apologize to my mother for this experience.

I wish there were a little more sour cream, but it was still savory and delicious regardless. The lady who took our order was very helpful and super sweet. The place was clean, spacious, and very aesthetically pleasing. I don't go to Olympia very often, but I'll assure you I'm coming back for that toast!

Food: 4/5 Drinks: 2/5…read moreService: 3/5 Ambiance: 5/5 If you're looking for a small sense of snootiness, this is your place to have a latte and a lite bite to eat. Our barista was kind of rude and, though we told her we would be a second, she stared us down until we decided what to have. For the drinks, white pumpkin latte, chai latte and an Irish cream coffee. The chai was spicy and the white pumpkin had no flavor. The Irish cream latte, however, was REALLY GOOD. The food, orange cardamom, maple pecan and early grey scones. The earl gray scone had a slightly off-putting texture and we realized it was GF (that was def user error) maple pecan since was good, so was the orange cardamom one. The tempeh Rueben, holy knock your socks off, that was an amazing bite. For being plant-based, it was spot on flavor wise, I was shocked! Oh! Super-pricey, buyer beware.

Cool cafe with pretty mid food…read more The ambiance inside is really relaxing; plenty of comfortable seating with plenty of plants around to make a warm and inviting space. The cafe is attached to a store, but that doesn't really affect the cafe all that much. The tablecloths used have a tendency to slide around very easily. We got the tempe blt panini and tempeh Ruben panini with their fries. The fries and ketchup were the best tasting item. You can add extras to the sandwiches, but that gets pretty pricey pretty fast. I added on avocado for $2, which was left off my sandwich so be sure to check that your food is correct. They did give me a small cup of avocado when I went up to the front, but I unfortunately did not notice it was missing until I had already eaten half of my sandwich. The food itself was a bit greasy. Not too overwhelming, but enough that it affected the meal. The sandwiches are pretty small, but filling enough for a lunch sized portion. Beyond food, everything else is self service (water, napkins, utensils). Not bad unless you have limited mobility, then it will be difficult to maneuver around the tables to the small cramped corner that everything else is located. When a gentleman asked the staff if they would bring him a fork (needed assistance walking), the staff only pointed again where the utensils were located before walking away.
