| - Tried this fancy little café today for the first time, and the 30 minute drive was pretty much worth it. Yes, that's right. I drove 30 minutes for coffee. I was very eager to try it because of the rave reviews here on Yelp, and it did not disappoint. The cashier/barista was very friendly and our order was ready pretty quickly. My boyfriend and I both got a food item and a coffee.
He had the ham and cheese croissant sandwich with a Tahitian Vanilla blended (frozen) latte. He was impressed with both of them. I tried his coffee and thought it was way too sweet for my taste but he likes his coffee extra sweet so it was a thumbs up for him.
I had the Veggie Quiche, and I really wasn't expecting to be blown away by their food because most of it is pre-made or pre-packaged, but this quiche...oh my god...this quiche. It is bomb. Very flavorful and fresh tasting with a perfect buttery flaky crust. And for the coffee, I had the Iced Nutella Latte. It was very good, no complaints here. It wasn't too sweet, it was just right and the coffee itself had great flavor.
Minor Complaints:
There food and certain beverages are absolutely outrageously priced! Yes, it's good food, but $8 for a ham and cheese sandwich? It better come with a side for 8 freaking dollars. Maybe give some fruit with it or something. We had 2 small food items and 2 large coffees, and our total was $27.50! Two people could eat at a restaurant for that much.
Now this part isn't necessarily Sambalatte's fault, but we got the DOUCHIEST VIBE from the people that were in there. Just seemed like everyone in there were a bunch of rich snobs and when we were leaving my boyfriend politely held the door open for a lady who was walking in and she gave him the dirtiest look and didn't even say thank you, she just said "excuse me" in a very bitchy tone. She acted like she didn't want him to even breath near her or something, it was just so rude.
All in all; if I'm on this side of town I will definitely come back for the coffee, I will have my order to go as I don't like the douchy hipster vibe it has, and although the food was good I probably won't buy food from here again because it was just too damn expensive.
