Original: 1/5 star. Idk if they just ran out of everything at the end of the day but I literally got the equivalent of 2 crushed chips, a quarter of a small avocado, and 2 massive fried eggs on a bed of spinach. Expectation vs reality on this one is wildly different. Didn’t see until after I’d left 🙁
Atmosphere is good for some quick work on computer and a lot of to-go orders.
Egg sandwiches are a pretty good deal even if on the small side. We appreciate that gluten free does not incur an up charge. The space is very small and they have done what they can with it and it is nice for what it is. However whenever I leave I feel I always smell like food even if I’m not there very long. Some ventilation or one or two air filters would probably take care of this. Also, last I checked, they only had disposable cups for drinks, and they aren’t compostable. If you bring your own cup they will make it in that though which is nice but I would appreciate if they had a zero waste option.
I had a vanilla iced latte. It tasted like coffee, with hints of vanilla and cream. Which is more than you ask for from most places. It was moderately priced and a good size for the large. It was definitely above average for a nice latte. In a city filled with banana foam lattes it’s nice to get a well done basic vanilla latte.
I ordered the pumpkin waffle, a season menu item. It was simply delightful. It had an almost caramelized crunch on the corners. The inside was fluffy and the pumpkin flavor was mild to moderate. If you love a flavor punch in the face this isn’t your bag of beans but I’ll get to that in a minute. This dish was all about the medley of fall flavors. The way the pumpkin, cinnamon sugar, and sweet cream cheese came together felt like a warm hug. It reminds me of coming in from a hard day playing in the snow to get a cuppa hot cocoa and nice piece of cinnamon toast from your mom.
Now, for you punch-to-the-face flavor lovers I also got the Pimento Cheese Chicken Panini. It was saucy and smoky with a vibrant kick from the pickled onion.
The pricing here is bang-on and very fair. If anything It’s a little cheap for what you get flavor wise. It’s an affordable cafe with perfect portion sizes for a good lunch that won’t leave you feeling gross and may even have a snack for later. Both dishes were big enough for one meal I shared with my husband.
