It was a bit slow. They only offered one size cup. The food was OK, pretty bland but the guacamole that came with the sandwiches was tasty. The tables we sat on had not been wiped in a while and we never saw them service any tables when they had no customers at the counter. We got two lattes, two basic breakfast sandwiches and a small plain pastry and it came to over $40.
11/2021: Breakfast selection was limited to pastries seen in the first photo as well as coffee, ice coffee, or horchata. That said, the horchata was excellent and so were the pastries. There is plenty of seating in the hotel to enjoy breakfast.
All of the pastries they had looked super yummy but I’m on a diet so i couldn’t have any 🙁 But apparently they’re all made in house every morning in their pastry kitchen. Awesome!!!
As I waited, the barista repeatedly called out “cold brew.” Naturally if I ordered iced coffee and the barista calls out cold brew, I would assume it’s not mine. After a couple of times, I asked if my iced coffee was on the way. She responded, expressionless, “We don’t have iced coffee — we only have cold brew, and it’s brewed differently.” I didn’t feel like pressing the issue, so I just took the drink and walked away. That said, it’s worth noting that cold brew and iced coffee are listed separately on the menu with different prices and brewing methods, so it was confusing.
Another thing — I usually don’t tip for a quick coffee run, but their system highlights a 20% tip by default. If you tap through too fast, like I did, you might accidentally leave a tip without realizing it.
Overall, the coffee itself wasn’t bad, but as a Philly local, I wasn’t impressed with the service. I won’t be returning.
