Visiting from CA, this was brief walk down the street from where I was staying. The cold wind and…read moregrey skies made everything on the menu pop out as comforting and delicious and the staff was friendly and patient while I looked at their display of baked goods and finally decided on the ham biscuit. It's a decent amount of biscuit with large chunks of ham and there plenty of seating to relax and enjoy the morning that isn't hustle and bustling like in downtown. I walked further to the metro bus stop down the street and was tempted to check the local dispensary on the next block but ran out of time. Will come back with friends, plenty of coffee dates and conversation were happening within but this solo adventure was just as enjoyable.

Sometimes I come here while my car is across the street in the shop…read more I have always thought that their food items were HELLU overpriced. Their breakfast sandwich is literally $13 for a $5 sandwich. Today I had a simple drip coffee. This was $5.77 Then, you notice a jar for tips, and it has a sign that says, "You have already tipped, but jar is for more tips if you want to" So, yeah.... This means already damn expensive items having tipping built on top of the pricing, and the biggest issue is that you are tipping without your own choice, AND it is done before you have even received ANY service. Wait a minute.. there actually IS NO SERVICE. You order at counter. You operate the card reader yourself. The woman behind counter lifts a coffee pot, and pours it into your cup. That is literally all she does. Then you... go to the other counter to add your own cream. Nobody has come to my table to ask me if I want anything else, or how is everything, etc. Don't correct to clear your own table, because they have it set up for you to do that to. I forgot to mention the creamer was spoiled, so the coffee was not drinkable.

The chicken katsu curry was nice, which paired well with the curry. The beef noodle soup wasn't really my favorite though, which didn't feel very authentic. I also liked the mango iced tea, which was refreshing and a nice drink to go with lunch. The place is self-serve, so it feels more casual and quick rather than sit-down service. The atmosphere was also quite dark. Overall, an easy spot if you're looking for a quick lunch. Not everything was a hit, but we still had a good meal.

This cafe popped up and saw it as my bus went by so walked a couple blocks back to check it out. It shares the space with a Halal bakery called Noor Bakery. I need to back and try Fatayer as that part was closed on Sunday and was a larger meal than I needed. I ordered a mango smoothie and pistachio baklava. Both were delicious and was just what I needed the smoothie was nice and thick. The baklava was flakey and not overly sweet the extra crushed pistachios served as a garnish were a nice surprise.

Honestly, there isn't much that you expect from a place like this from the outside, it doesn't look like much... but when you walk inside, it's like you walked into a portal, because you have high ceilings, nice exposed wood, and the sounds of the coffee grinder, and steamer... make for the ambiance that you literally want in a coffee shop. Service... well, the place is called Diva, so expect a little sass, and that's okay. Generally speaking, its good service, and they are friendly. So there you have it, a lovely spot for coffee... one last note, their seasonal drinks are usually super sweet, so beware, or enjoy. ;-)

The cafe area is spacious and it had a nice display of chocolate that you could sample and choose from to be used in your drink. I had the mocha with Colombia chocolate. The drink tasted too strong and bitter for my taste, though. I don't think you could make it any less strong because Colombia chocolate seemed to be on the lower side of cacao percentage among other selections here. The bitterness could've also come from the espresso shots too. I prefer Spinnaker's mocha to the one here because Spinnaker's is not as bitter and more smooth. But if you prefer your chocolate more bitter and espresso stronger, you might like Cocoa Legato's mocha better. The place was giving good vibes, so I'd be happy to take friends and hang out and maybe I'll get a different kind of drink next time I'm here.
