| - I was very torn between 3-4 or 5 stars.
Here's my first impression of the place. We went on a Saturday.
Very cute decor, friendly, inviting and dog friendly! They said over the phone they highly encourage you to bring your pouch! Extra brownie points for me who was two dogs. (One little one big)
We walked in and it was not overly busy but a decent amount of tables, You order at the counter and they give you a cute cactus with a number on it. It's a little faded and hard to see.
They got pretty busy about 15 minutes after we ordered. We'd order two Matcha lattes, a smoothie bowl and avocado toast. It look us thirty minutes to get our lattes and then another 25 minutes to get our food. We had to ask twice what was happening because people who'd sat down after us had gotten drinks and food before us. We were pretty annoyed but the staff was very apologetic, because they were short staffed and they'd dropped our ticket. Meh it's ok it happens.
The annoying part was they took a reservation (they don't normally but made an exception for two mom's with 5 kids between them for a birthday) and hadn't marked the table we'd been sitting at for 20 Minutes and then proceeded to make us move twice, (which is fine.. it happens we sat at a table of four because it was the only one available at the time in the area we wanted to sit in and a staffer had said it was ok.) but after making us move they ended up putting the reserved table somewhere completely different. Essentially disturbing us twice for nothing. Meh. It happens.
I found their system for delivering food and drinks a little flawed. As mentioned before the little cactus numbers are hard to see, causing the busboy/food runner difficulty of where to drop the food. We saw the poor guy wondering up and down trying to find the number he was looking for. It's a cute idea but not really feasible in my mind.
ALL the staff where very apologetic and sweet, which makes up for all the little mistakes and what not...Growing pains right?
I've never had a smoothie bowl or avocado toast before and both were delicious in my opinion and nicely presented. (Check out the pictures)
It was a little hectic with our decently behaved doggie, but there was a few kids running around and a lot going on. Tables are very close to each other but no one minded our furbaby. Just something to take into consideration when bringing your fur child in. Maybe it's quieter during the week.
I ended up going with five stars because overall including all the bumps and bruises of our three hour long brunch, we had a good time, with good food and absolutely lovely staff.
Looking forward to returning and trying more things from the menu! :)
