| - Ugh how I hate writing a negative review but this is to provide feedback to the management staff b/c this place has potential. They have a great reputation with their main street location and I know this one can catch up. They're still new but after a month of being open, I was hoping the operation would be better.
The negatives: bath-water warm coffee, cold food and slow slow service.
The Pros: great ambiance, nice mgrs, great location, super cute coffee bar, great flavor food, vegan/vegetarian & gluten free options, great potential
4 of us came in for Sunday brunch and they had a small 20 min wait. The wait took longer then 20 mins but we weren't in a hurry. After sitting down we were immediately greeted by our server with water and said he said he would be right back. Took about 10-15 minutes for his return and he took our drink orders and answered a few food questions for us. When our 4 coffees finally arrived, we immediately dove in and were disappointed as our coffees were not hot. Only 1 latte came out somewhat hot, the other 3 were bath-water warm. We were so disappointed bc these aren't cheap lattes but the service was already lacking at this point and there was still a crowd so we decided to just drink it but every sip just wasn't as enjoyable has a fresh hot latte.
Regarding food, the food had great flavor but came out look warm, never hot. Our hot ordered items included 2 soups, empanadas, veggie burger, and salmon Benedict. The soups were sent back and the mgrs were nice about it and when the soups returned, they were so good! So much flavor! Everything else had lots of delicious flavor but please note the veggie burger is the Garden Burger black bean burger you can purchase at the store. I buy these all the time for my house so I was extremely disappointed when I recognized it after my 1st bite b/c I expected something different and original.
This restaraunt includes a walk up coffee bar window to order your drinks to go, a puppy friendly patio and they just recently started serving beer and wine. The wine is served in small mason jars and super cute.
I hate leaving a negative review, esp for a location I have been patiently waiting to open but after spending $130 for our bill plus tip, we left very disappointed. I'm hoping after another month of being open this location will be much better.
