| - Awesome place! As a local, and I can speak for other locals as well, we try to avoid downtown as much as we can, even though the best 'hole-in-the-wall', or privately owned restaurants reside there, it is the parking the can be very frustrating. However, what's good about PublicUs is that it has a place to park! Even if there was not, I would still make a priority to go back.
I ordered the Green Panda latte, and it was one of the best matchas I've had. It wasn't too sweet, just slightly sweet actually, and had a hint of mint with it. It was also adorned with a beautiful latte design served in a ceramic mug. I was there for brunch so I ordered The Traditionalist which included eggs (of your choice), breakfast meat of your choice (I ordered the sausage), greens, toast, and these crispy red baby potatoes, which are absolutely delicious. It was just a right amount portion, and the price were great (average of $10), it is not expensive.
The place is aesthetically pleasing as well. I definitely bring a friend here, or maybe a friend that is visiting, because it is a very well decorated restaurant, that it clean and modern, but also you can tell is very personal. The owner knew what he was doing and had vision in mind, and put a lot of thought into not only the decor, but as well as it's drinks, and menu.
I particularly enjoy visiting and trying-out coffee shops, but usually, I go there when I have already eaten. Reason being is, that most coffee shops focus on their drinks (which is perfectly fine) and they only serve a few food items which are mostly pastries, or small snacks and sandwiches. PublicUs, however, serves real food that is prepared everyday, and you also can have your coffee house feel with it, too. It's a great place to spend the afternoon as you get lost around downtown or even a place to study.
I will be regular for this place. I hope they continue to be a very personal, cozy spot to drink coffee and tea, and may they continue to take pride in their food and drinks. It is what makes the place special.
