The staff was friendly and it wasn't too busy both times I came in. I ordered a few of the cream puffs, a peach tart, and a golden milk latte. It was made to perfection and I can't say that about a lot of places. There is plenty of seating inside and space. I loved all the plants inside and the lay out. I will definitely be coming on more often!!

It took me far longer than I would have liked to finally try RaonJena. It's been on my radar…read moreadmittedly for years, but a close friend with similar taste raved about them recently. Finally I was able to make it in. I would say considering the years of build up, I needed to pause before an immediate review. The anticipation had led to unfair expectations, when in reality it was a great experience. Case in point, I ordered an iced latte with their house-made banana syrup. It was a very solid latte. The banana flavor was relatively subtle, but well done and obviously made with real, fresh banana. I think I would try something else next time, maybe one of their more unique offerings and see if I could possibly find more of a "wow" drink. But I got a very good banana latte, and if that's what you had a taste for, it's a great option. Definitely go for it. I will say they only offer one size for the specialty drinks. I typically order a larger one. I was more impressed with my pastry, their honey pecan tart. That had a nice flaky tart shell. Very light, not the slightest bit dry. The honey provided the perfect natural sweetness, and there were plenty of whole pecans. It was a terrific alternative to your usual syrupy, heavy pecan pastry. Very tasty, and again, not too sweet. I actually did eat it as my breakfast, and i think it works very well as a breakfast item vs a dessert. The space was very bright. There was a whole other room of seating, and it was nicely decorated with a fairly modern aesthetic. Lots of plants. It definitely seemed like a great place to hang out and work or just enjoy your coffee/food there. I took mine to go this time. The staff were laid back but friendly. It was a very nice experience overall. I would very much like to go back now that I know what to expect. But even now, I would certainly recommend it.

I was told it was a large coffee split into two. Never again will I purchase one of these duo cups. The coffee itself is very good, but the pricing should be altered a little bit. We also got mini macarrones, which I thought would be better than a tasted! They were stale!! They taste it absolutely horrible and there was no flavor. No differentiation between the chocolate, coffee, or the lemon. It all tasted by straight sugar and cardboard. Yuck Unfortunately, I probably won't be back due to the pricing and the experience I had with the food

However, this place is sneaky about prices. Firstly, They do not list prices on the menu, and after seeing my receipt, I understand why. If you want to add mixed berries to your waffle, they charge you $1.75 per type of berry. I ordered a black tea with a splash of milk, and they charged me the price of a tea latte. They also refuse to give tap water, and make you pay for bottled water- a practice that rubs me the wrong way. It cost nearly $50 for two people to eat breakfast here. Overall, the place isn't terrible, but is not transparent with prices.

I had the Berries Insanity fruit-topped waffle and the fruit was honestly the freshest I've ever had. My husband opted for the Gourmand waffle (a Bananas Foster vibe). He opted for a Liège waffle (chewy) and I went with the Brussels waffle (crispier) and both were amazing. Drinks are just as good, from coffee and espresso to tea, matcha, or juice. We also shared a Zinneken's breakfast meal and it was perfectly made. Everything was incrediblly delicious and made for such a great brunch. We can't wait to go back!

We didn't order any food because we already had plans to eat somewhere else down the street, although I'm usually tempted by something sweet with my coffee! This time, the desserts didn't really catch my eye. Many of the options appeared to be gluten-free, and visually they looked a little dry to me, so I decided to skip dessert. Overall, though, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It's a comfortable, welcoming place to sit, enjoy a good cup of coffee, work on your laptop, or just relax. I would definitely stop by again!
