I hate leaving negative reviews, but after multiple experiences, I feel I need to share this. I…read morecontinue coming here mainly because it's close to my husband's work and the breakfast sandwiches are good--but unfortunately, the customer service is consistently poor. Nearly every visit, the employees come across as rude, unfriendly, and give the bare minimum in terms of service. Today was the final straw. I ordered a white chocolate mocha, but was handed a regular mocha instead. When I politely said I had ordered a white chocolate mocha, the employee immediately responded with attitude. I handed the drink back and said I didn't want that one, and she asked--again with attitude--if I wanted it remade. When I said yes, she rudely told me that "next time you need to say white chocolate mocha." I responded that I believed I had, and she insisted I didn't. There was no reason for the hostility over a simple drink correction. Customer mistakes happen, employee mistakes happen--but basic kindness and professionalism should still be expected. The food may be good, but the repeated poor treatment from staff makes the experience unpleasant. Management seriously needs to address customer service training or reconsider staffing, because friendly service goes a long way.

Psalm 23:5" which added to our excitement since were Christians. That set us up for a lot of disappointment because we got super rude service. We stood in line for a while and as we got to the counter, the manager said, "Who's next?" and before we could say something, someone else started ordering who had not been waiting in line. Dorothy, we were standing there the whole time, but I think it might be a race thing because the people she served were German and we're brown people. So my sister says something to the young lady at the counter and she starts slinging out attitude. "So what do you want me to do about it?" How about not be rude when you guys had the failure on your end? Then she seated us, throwing our table number on the table. The nerve! This is the opposite of making things right. Another waitress (who was not white) came up to us and apologized. She was sweet and I'm guessing she sees that type of treatment a lot at this place. We're not the types who sees race in everything, but when I talked to my sister later she mentioned how Dorothy let the Germans cut, which confirmed what I was feeling too. I hate that in 2026 you can still see that type of behavior because it's jarring when it happens. By the way, the streusel cake and coffee and they were okay. I think Entenmanns which you can get at the grocery store is better. We were going to order salami sandwiches and some other pastries, but after that waitress treated us poorly, we were afraid what that waitress might do to our food in the kitchen. I saw in another review that someone else complained about how rude she was. My guess? She must be related to the owner because they clearly don't care how she treats the customers.

Inside is clean and spacious, the neutral tone of the decor feels cozy - great place to work or study. Just FYI, mostl of the tables are for 2 people. I got a seasonal drink - Coconut Latte (4/5 stars), which is topped with coconut cream and came with a white chocolate coconut Ferrero Rocher. The coconut flavor isn't very strong, but worked well with the coffee. My only complaint is I dislie shredded coconut, which is part of the topping. I felt bad asking them to remake it just for that. As part of the 6-month celebration, I got a free Mini Dubai Chocolate Cup (4.5/5 stars) with purchase of any drink. The pistachio kanafi is amazing, and still crunchy when I had it a few hours after I got it. The strawberries are mostly fresh. A small part of the dessert is a bit watery (from the washed strawberries I assume), but overall it's a yummy dessert that I recommend. Lastly, shout-out to the friendliest barista Jasmine!

As a Filipino who has family that makes restaurant quality food, he is picky with his food but he said the flavors here are pretty close to how his family cooks it. I am always on the hunt for good kare kare and I saw they serve it so I was already super excited to go. We arrived around 1ish pm and we were able to find parking and enter inside where we saw three tables occupied with happy customers enjoying their meals. They have small tables and large tables, but definitely plan ahead as most of these tables seat 2-4 people. They have a section at the left end of the order area where you drop off dirty dishes in bins as well as a condiments section. They were playing some American pop songs that were remixed but it fit the vibe of the place. Additionally, they do have a grocery side which I definitely want to check out next time I'm there. We were greeted warmly by the owner who was cheerful and patient with us. My boyfriend got their longganisa and lumpia and he was asked if he wanted adobo sauce on his rice which I thought was neat! Now, here is where my complaints from as I was not offered the same treatment on my rice, told that they aren't serving kare kare, they don't have labels for the food at front, and some of the food was cold. I got the pork sinigang and dinakdakan which was pretty good and flavorful. They do have pastries, desserts and other offerings as well. It seemed like there are many regulars who come often as the owner would recognize and have friendly conversations with them. He also bid us farewell when we left while he was taking a quick lunch break, and I thought that was really sweet.
