5-Star Review for The Bean & Leaf Café…read more The Bean & Leaf Café deserves every bit of a five-star rating. From the moment we walked in, the vibe felt warm, welcoming, and personal, and the staff truly made our visit memorable. I ordered the ham and Swiss bacon croissant paired with a hot chocolate topped with strawberries. The team was kind enough to actually cut the strawberries for me, which added such a thoughtful touch. My partner ordered the fresh bacon egg bagel pesto sun-dried cream cheese sandwich with an iced latte, and also surprised me with a slice of banana nut-free bread. The staff went the extra mile and warmed it up for me without hesitation. Every single item was delicious, fresh, and prepared with care. Beyond the food, what really stood out was how friendly and attentive the staff were. They didn't just take our order they genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. This café has heart, and it shows in both the service and the food. Highly recommend. Solid 10 out of 10.

NARRATIVE: I arrived just after 7:00 am of a Wednesday and found the place open and to myself. After checking out their extensive wall menu, I ordered a plain Bagel with Lox, an Asai bowl and a Sea Salt Caramel iced coffee to go. Like I mentioned above, they have an extensive menu which really impressed me. I was also impressed by their super large espresso machine. My order took about ten minutes to prepare and I headed off with my bag and drink towards home. At the house and before tearing into my food, my camera ate first. My Bagel with Lox was dynamite. Super thick cut of fresh salmon with cream cheese, capers, onion and cucumbers gave the sandwich a nice crunch. My Sea Salt Caramel coffee was great and their Asai bowls are impressive. SCENE: Located at the corner of W. 11th Street and East Street, Isabel's Cafe now occupies the old Sandwich Spot location. RECOMMENDATION(S): Awesome food! Highly recommended. The only negative I had was, unlike Sandwich Spot where you could watch your sandwich being made, Isabel's doesn't have that option. Everything is prepared in the back, away from the customers.

The décor matches the café's name and gives it a cozy, inviting feel. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town visiting family!

There are delectable things to eat here and I wish that I came in hungry enough to try a sandwich, or the ham and cheese croissant. I got an Americano with whip cream and a macadamia chocolate chip cookie. The Americano was the best I've had this side of the Altamont! The cookie was amazing. Can a cookie have a crust? This cookie had the perfect crust, the interior of it had the right amount of softness, and it wasn't too sweet. The service was friendly and timely. If you like supporting the "mom and pop" businesses you must give them a try.

There's something about eating here that just gives you that nostalgic, comforting feeling, like a classic breakfast spot done right. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to.

I'm not sure how busy it gets on weekends. The coffee is always fresh, and the menu has all the classic café breakfast options you'd expect. My favorite is the chorizo omelette with a side of strawberries. The omelette is flavorful without being greasy, and the strawberries are always fresh and delicious. The toast is decent, though I think trying a different bread brand could make it even better. The servers are consistently friendly and attentive. Orders come out quickly, and coffee refills are always topped off without having to ask. Overall, Frank's is a great spot for breakfast and definitely worth checking out.
