Cafe Strudel was one of the coolest restaurants I've been to in a long time, and I'm so thankful…read morethat I happened to wander in about 30 minutes before they closed. They had a really zany coffee section, with an assortment of unique coffee mugs, where you could get bottomless cups of coffee for only a few dollars. I got the chicken tenders and fries to eat, which were cooked to perfection and tasted excellent. Even though I shouldn't have, I wrapped up my meal with a piece of chocolate cake, which was absolutely delicious as well. All of the staff members were really nice and did a great job, and I loved the old-school, wacky (in a good way) ambiance and environment. It almost felt like the type of place you'd see in a TV show or movie, and I mean that in the best way possible. I will say that it's a little more expensive than most other restaurants, but that's obviously reflected in the quality of food and service that they provide. Overall, I loved my trip to Cafe Strudel, will definitely be back in the future, and would recommend it to anyone. A 5/5 experience for sure!

I was between 3-4 stars. I honestly liked this place and would go back. What pushed me to lean…read moretowards 3 stars was service and pricing. Wait staff was barely around and food took a whileee to come out and at various times. The food was also good but not great. You can add protein to any item, but for essentially the cost of the meal. Adding turkey sausage was $7 and a small portion (and could have gone without), while the sunrise burrito in total was $10 and massive. I will say there was barely any wait at prime time on Sunday because barely anyone knows it's there.

We threw the baked goods away after one bite of each because they both tasted stale and like a refrigerator. Not sure how old they were. My latte was served luke warm at best. Barista said their steamer is temperamental so it doesn't always heat the milk but still served it to me and charged me for it. The place smelled strongly of mold/mildew as soon as we walked in. We opted for to-go coffee due to smell. Leak in the ceiling upstairs with a drip bucket may be cause of smell. The ambience doesn't hit. Cute tree/vine concept but it ends there... it cold be so much more. No real vibe here if you're looking for a great coffee shop. There's loads of seating here but zero appeal or ambience to sit and stay.

The biscoff iced coffee hit the spot with the right amount of sweetness providing the morning kick I was looking for. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly! Definitely will be coming back again!

They were all so sweet and really went above and beyond to make sure it was a high-quality experience. I noticed that they openly advertise that they don't accept tips and have slightly higher prices in order to pay their workers a living wage, and the results were directly reflected in the customer service that I received. As for the food and drink (coffee), that was pretty good as well! While I do wish that they might have had bagels, the croissant that I substituted it for was warm, buttery, and tasty, and it was a nice change from my usual coffee shop meal, as I've only had a croissant a handful of times. The coffee was fine, and I loved how they offered free refills, which I've noticed that other local coffee shops usually don't. Finally, I loved the setting of the restaurant, which gave you the opportunity to either sit inside and enjoy the ambiance or on the outside patio and enjoy some peace and quiet. I also loved the artwork that they had on the walls, which the waitress informed me was painted by a local artist and which you could purchase if you wanted to. All-in-all, I loved smallSUGAR, will be back in the future, and would highly recommend stopping in!

Stopped by smallSUGAR and had a decent overall experience, though a few things held it back…read more The space itself was clean and well-kept, with a modern, minimalist vibe that works well for a casual brunch or coffee stop. Service was fine. Nothing particularly standout, but smooth and efficient. For drinks, the coffee was average. It wasn't bad by any means, just nothing memorable. Especially considering the price point. Food-wise, there were some highlights. The sweet potato bowl was well-dressed and flavorful, though it felt like it was missing a protein component to make it more complete. The shakshuka was very good overall, with great flavor, though it leaned a bit salty. The biggest issue was the bread portion. It simply wasn't enough for the dish. I ended up ordering an extra side, and while it's listed as two slices, it's really just one slice cut in half. At $4 for that portion, that is very unreasonable. That was a recurring theme. Pricing felt high across the board for what you receive. While the flavors were there, nothing really stood out as exceptional enough to justify the cost. Overall, not a bad visit. Just one where the value didn't quite match the experience.

Let's start with the potatoes ... they were Amazing. The seasoning was very flavorful and serving dozens just right. The Benedict flavor wise was one of the best I've had in a while.

As for the food, it was absolutely top-notch! I opted for a simple but classic breakfast of pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon, and everything was cooked perfectly. While the menu is a bit "busy" with many options to choose from, the variety is impressive, and I'm excited to try more dishes next time. No complaints here! Service was equally great. We arrived about 45 minutes before closing, and our hostess took the time to answer all of our questions about the menu, which was much appreciated. I highly recommend this spot--the food was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and overall, it's a place worth visiting!
