    This place has delicious iced coffees! I just had their new seasonal drink, cookie butter latte! My favorite part is the chunks of cookie butter in it! My pups also love coming here to get a pup cup! The staff is always very friendly and remember small details!

    Purple drink
    Raquel A.

    Having recently started working in the neighborhood, I was hoping to find my new favorite spot to grab a quick breakfast. I don't drink coffee, but do enjoy a frozen coffee beverage on occasion. I had checked the menu online and it said they had blended beverages, though only 2 options. That's fine, but when I asked about a frozen or blended option at the counter, I was told only hot or iced coffee. That was disappointing. I also ordered an egg sandwich which I custom built, with sausage and an over easy egg in a bagel. Not sure the over easy egg was the best choice since it was a bit messy, but that's on me (thankfully not literally). I wonder if I could request an over-medium egg? Since I couldn't get a frozen coffee, I decided to try the Purple Drink. I think it's lemonade and butterfly tea, though I'm not sure what butterfly tea is. I was expecting a stronger flavor but it was very mellow. Good, but not sure I'd get it again. I'll have to see what else they have that I might like. Overall, it was good, but not exactly what I was looking for. I'll probably stop in again every now and then, but not a regular spot for me.

    The service was excellent as was the food. The waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu items and gave Greg recommendations. She was friendly to everyone who came in and called regulars by name. I had the chilaquiles which comes as a vegan dish. To make my breakfast a bit more hearty, I added avocado and adobo chicken. I had never had this dish before so it was very exciting to try something new. I really enjoyed the crispy tortilla that had their delicious homemade sauce related over the dish to make for a nice texture.

    YES x 100! I was looking for a quick bite and found this Women-Owned gem! It was about 25 minutes until they closed shop for the day, so I gave them a rang in advance to see if I could place a pick up order, the women on the phone was so friendly and kind and said it was no problem. I was about 10 minutes away, but she was so genuine and said they would have it ready for me in about 10 minutes. Since it's a cafe and all, I asked if I could order a beverage once I got there - again, so kind and said no problem. The cafe is in the bottom floor of a office complex, they have a lot of great signage leading you there and even validate for an hour if you park in the garage! They're open M-F from 7am-2pm. Their entrance is on the side or accessible from garage and the cafe boasts some tables for enjoying there. I ordered the chipotle focaccia sandwich that comes with a side salad with an Arnold Palmer. The sandwich was delicious! Generous portion of chicken, herby and great flavor, delicious chipotle sauce. I also loved it came with a side salad. The Arnold Palmer was tasty too! It was wrapped up great for transport and still tasty when I enjoyed it at home! They have great menu offerings from breakfast specials to lunch, speciality lattes and extensive drink options. I'm not in this particular area a ton, but I will definitely be returning! Thanks again for the friendly and amazing service, and of course fitting me in so close to closing! Definitely worth a visit!

    Didn't see anyone inside and doors locked.

    CLOSED!! Went here on a Friday (12/13) about 9:30am and doors were locked and both entrances. We were on a time crunch and didn't notice the verbiage going into the parking garage for visitors to park on the first level. We went to the 3rd floor and not able to take the elevators because you need like a badge access.

    Had a great experience at Tom/Cen!! The workers were super friendly, the coffee was good, and there were so many food/pastry choices! Not sure about parking because I walked there. It's across the street from the Panera and seems like it's in an office building. There was a small sign on the sidewalk. The inside was super cute but on the smaller side. There were many seats/tables outside as well though. Got an iced latte with oat milk (16 oz $4.50 + $0.75 for oat milk). I went on a weekday around 7:30 A.M., and it was really empty. Went there to do some work for a bit. Would def recommend checking them out!!

    Hot Chai Latte
    Ali B.

    Perfect chai latte for a rainy day! I saw this place on Instagram but that they're only open mon-fri so I used my spring break from work as an opportunity to try this place! I got an oat milk chai latte, hot, and got my husband a caramel latte. Drinks were ready fast. The chai was really good! Good milk to chai ratio, creamy and deliciously spiced. The food looked yummy too but I didn't order anything this time. It is cute and small and the staff was very nice. Would be an awesome place to stop by for a coffee or breakfast if you work in this area on your way or during a lunch break!

    I ordered a caramel latte & Greek salad. The staff were friendly and offered to answer any questions about the menu. Drink & food came quickly and was well prepared!

    Turkey melt
    Dolores D.

    Great local coffee shop. Got an iced vanilla latte with caramel sauce. It was good. The lid had an opening which was nice to drink out of but if you have lipstick you might need to reapply. I had the turkey melt it was good. Kinda reminded me of a hot dog cause of the honey mustard. My friend had their smoothie and she liked it. Parking was $5! We didn't stay to long maybe an hour or 2. Maybe there was free parking but I parked in the garage.

    Avocado toast with over easy egg and matcha
    Maria A.

    Awesome place to have breakfast. I had the avocado toast with an over easy egg....amazingly yum! I also ordered the iced matcha. They have 1hr validation for the parking garage. The cafe is located at the lobby (1st floor). The girls working there were very friendly and the service was fast...just the way you needed it on your busy day.

    Oatmeal "Morning Glory" breakfast and frappe in the background. Morning Glory Iced Coffee
    Weslynne S.

    I ordered a blended coffee and the "morning glory" oatmeal with fruit and seeds and was disappointed with both. There's no parking lot so that was difficult. The server, by which I mean the girl behind the counter, and the neon sign were the only bright spots for me. I want to support local business, but not at the expense of my palate.

Even though there was a longer wait, the food and experience made it feel worth it. The smoked brisket Benedict is the standout. The brisket is tender with a deep, smoky flavor. The eggs are perfectly poached, and when everything comes together on the English muffin base, it hits that rich, savory-sweet balance without feeling too heavy. The French toast is Thick-cut and caramelized on the edges, without being overly sugary. It's well-complemented by fresh fruit and just enough syrup so it doesn't turn into dessert overload too early in the day. Overall, Brunch Snob feels like a spot that knows how to do comfort brunch.

    Great Group Dining Experience, But Reservations Are Highly Recommended…read more I recently visited Brunch Snob with my fitness group after our weekend session. For anyone planning a visit, please be aware that the wait times can be significant if you do not have a prior reservation. Fortunately, our large party of over 10 guests was able to utilize an indoor corner space to wait comfortably until our table was ready. Once we were seated, the service was excellent. The staff was incredibly patient and attentive while managing a table of our size.The food and beverage options were generally well-received, though there were a few minor details to note. One guest mentioned that the options for mimosa flights were somewhat limited. On the food side, my order of the Mexican Cowboy Bowl was excellent and prepared exactly as expected. While most of our group's orders were correct, one eggs Benedict arrived overcooked despite a specific request during ordering to avoid this. Given the size of our party, the guest chose to accept the dish rather than send it back. Billing Tip: For transparency, an automatic 20% gratuity was included in the final bill for our large group. I recommend double-checking your receipt to keep this in mind before adding any additional tips. Overall, it is a great brunch destination with quality dishes, but making a reservation ahead of time is highly advisable.

The interior is pretty long with a large number of seating inside the building so we had no trouble getting seated right away by the hostess. We decided on food relatively quickly due to previous experience with the business, however, our waiter never came around to take our orders or even give us water at the table. We saw one girl with dyed hair who unassumingly could have been our waiter since she was in our section but only worked with one particular table and ran to the back after each time, but never addressed our table or came by. We eventually had to flag a different waiter down who was able to help us place the order and service us for the rest of our visit, she also informed us that this other "Waiter" was supposed to help us but she wasn't sure why she never made an attempt to do so after having us wait 20 mins and other tables were being serviced. We ordered Flordian French Toast and Elote Breakfast Burrito (plus a couple sides and drink) which were both really good, and filling. Prices weren't too bad for what we ordered and was able to take our mind off of the rather long wait to get helped. Not sure if we'll come back to this particular location again, but it was nice trying the restaurant out another time.
