| - I have been wanting to try this place since it opened, and buying the Groupon gave me just such an opportunity to do so. Thus, my partner and I ventured here fairly early on a Saturday morning for breakfast.
Cookie Butter Latte: Holy cow, this drink was flippin' awesome. It was not too sweet, tasted very smooth, and I absolutely loved the cookies that came with it. All the flavors came together well to produce a tasty drink. I would come back here again just for this drink. (5/5)
Americano: Surprisingly, this was not as good as the latte. I suppose when you add the milk and sweetness, you really don't get a lot of the coffee flavor. By itself, the coffee was a little plain tasting and a little bitter. (2/5)
Maple Delight Waffle: When this came out, my first thought was that it was so small for the price. However, when I cut into, I realized how dense the waffle was. I suppose that's not surprising, since it's made from dough rather than a batter. The flavor of the waffle itself was good, and I liked the thick yet soft texture of it. The waffle itself was fairly sweet. When you added the maple cream, whipped cream, and syrup, it was more like eating a dessert than eating a breakfast dish. It was good, but a little too sweet and rich. I could not finish it. (3/5)
Egg and Bacon Cheddar Crepe: I don't think I have ever had crepes this thin and crispy, which was definitely different. The crepe itself was lighter in texture and less doughy than other ones I've had, and I really enjoyed that. However, it had very little of the bacon in it and was mostly eggs. That was a little disappointing. The bacon that was in it was good, though, and overall I did enjoy it. For the price, though, the portions were not terribly big. (3/5)
The staff was pretty friendly and efficient. Our food came out quickly. It's bright and cheery in there and I love the open design. It's nice that they have decent parking in the garage and some street parking as well, but I am guessing there is an issue later in the evening when World of Beer starts filling up.
Overall, it was good, but without the Groupon, I don't know if I felt like everything was worth it. I'd be willing to try it again. Goodness knows I will likely come back here next time I'm craving that cookie butter latte.
