| - Came in for one of the all-day breakfast specials posted on the board at the entrance, along with the $1 coffee add-on for any of said breakfast specials. I chose the Veggie Breakfast (toast, 2 eggs, sliced cucumber and tomato, potato wedges, and chick peas). The coffee is self-serve carafe dispensed, organic, fair trade coffee. The price posted on the board is $6.95 so with the coffee, should have been charged $8.98, but the bill (which you pay up front at the register where you place your order) was charged as $9.99. Um ok so let's call that your self-imposed tip and leave it there.
I wasn't given a choice of bread for the toast, which came as whole wheat. The eggs come in one of three choices of style - scrambled, sunny side up or over easy. I took them sunny side up and they were nicely cooked. The tomato slices were a bit thin and the cucumber slices a bit small in diameter. The wedges are the typical, seasoned potato slices you get at most fast-food places that don't cook their own. The chick peas are a pickled style presentation, which I'm figuring could be due to the fact that the menu has some Korean offerings. My palette was fine with those so overall, not a bad meal. The coffee (choice of regular or decaf) was good and the milk/cream/napkins/sugar/etc. all well-stocked, so that's a plus, and since you get it yourself, there's no wait time which, for me, is a plus, although those who like full service with their restaurant meals are out of luck. The service for the food was slow, so it's probably a better policy for the coffee at this restaurant.
I'm under the impression there should be free Wi-Fi, but once my breakfast was served I didn't get any further attention from the staff, and frankly, after already feeling a bit dejected about the overcharged bill, I didn't have the heart to go up and ask. I came to relax in the nicest coffee spot that Centerpoint Mall has to offer so I chose to nurse my coffee a bit longer and save the self-advocacy for every other part of the day where it's far more necessary.
Since it is the nicest coffee spot in the mall, and because the food and coffee were decent (especially if I had been charged the advertised price), I give it the 3 stars. I like the soft light and comfy benches and most of the decor (although the tables across the fireplace at the back take a lot away from the overall impression) so I may come back if I'm prepared to point out any future price discrepancies and ask for a Wi-Fi password.
