I don’t think I’ve ever left a bad review, but today’s experience was simply disappointing. Firstly they didn’t have the right menu available at the correct time. I ordered an egg sandwich with avocado, (that’s an extra $3) and received none on the sandwich. I politely asked someone about it, waited about 10 minutes and had to remind them again for it. The egg sandwich (for $10) was rather disappointing. It has American cheese, an unseasoned fried egg and barely toasted bread. The potatoes that came on the side were also not flavorful and terribly cooked. I also ordered the late of the week to go, and received the wrong coffee. I didn’t feel like correcting them again.Just an update, they still haven’t responded to my email.

You cannot go wrong with ordering the down with the thickness. It was full of flavor and was very filling. If you’re looking for a place that offers servers, this isn’t the place but if you’re looking for a place that you can bring your dog on a patio while enjoying some great food, this is right up your alley. They even offer treats and water for your pup.

This is my go-to coffee spot and I can’t believe I hadn’t reviewed it before. I live in the northeast part of the country now but the few times a year I come down I always come here. Even when I try new places in SA, I still always make my way here. I love the vibe. Tables and comfy chairs/couches inside, and seating outside as well. Lattes and food are really good. Sometimes if you come on a busy day you’ll stand in line for a bit and so it will take time for your order to come out but it’s never been that bad. I’ve had brunch here and it’s really good; I’m glad they have gluten free options. Workers are always nice and friendly. I’ve also come here late at night for drinks. I think hh has $6 sangria!Probably what I love the most is that it’s right on the river trail. Sometimes I’ll grab a latte to go and walk the trail. If you want you can take it straight to the downtown riverwalk in about 30-35 minutes. There are also bikes nearby as part of the city bike rentals.

Stop being racist. Food is ok and coffee tastes burnt

Went for the first time the other day and it was a wonderful time! Staff was super lovely and helped me choose out a super yummy brunch and coffee! We sat outside on their cutely set up patio and ordered the steak and Benny it was super yummy!! Definitely going to be coming again!

The food. Coffee was pricey but good! $7.20 for an ice coffee. The egg skillets are so good!

I really loved the vibes here, it's very happy and lively. Went here to get coffee but ended up eating a lot. I did like their coffee. I tried the weekly special. we tried their chicken biscuit and banana bread muffin.It was a good experience and definitely going back.

First of all, I was so hyped up to see Thai iced coffee on the menu as Im Thai. It's definitely NOT Thai iced coffee at all! It tasted way too different. It's more like iced coffee with condensed milk.Next, We got to order at around 12.30pm but got food at 1.25pm which it was served to other table that got there after us and we need to talked to the staffs to figured it out about our food. Also, it took 30 minutes to get our drinks. And ofc, it's mixed up.Food was all right. There is nothing special about it besides when it got to us some dish was not freshly warm from the kitchen at all since it was at wrong table then went back to the counter.Anyway, the location and the place are nice. But it's restaurant right!? food and drinks should be better than how the place looks!

So we Love Breakfast; we Love New Places; and We Love Great Service! This place almost got 5 Stars but the bussing staff (female with short pink hair) almost caused us to leave without trying it first! As a Newbie, we asked how food was ordered and how seating worked and she responded rudely as if we were being a bother to her! Well, we decided to still give it a try and the actual waitress was Nice and the Food was Super-Good! Love that they refill your coffee; good music; and self-seating worked out! But, again, avoid the rude bussing staff member (short pink hair) who totally lacked Customer Service and a Friendly Personality! Again, we almost left but glad we didn’t! Oh, and Waffles only served between 8am - 11am! ??

The wait is forever. The VIETNAMESE COFFEE is a joke. It confused me as a Vietnamese for a second. Mine had a little sweet flavor while my husband’s is sour without condensed milk at all even though I confirmed with the waitress that it would come with condense milk. Everyone around were confused walking around looking for their orders and drinks as it took too long. Nice to try, but may not come back!
