| - Two words... RIP OFF. I get it. It's trendy. Cool architecture. They play down tempo indie music. The ingredients are indeed high quality but... Where's the food!?! SKIMPY portions yet high prices. $11.00 for a "superfood" salad in a soup bowl? Let me see, Literally 1 ounce of the following; Kale=cheap, Quinoa=cheap, Broccoli=cheap, Almonds=cheap, Sweet Potatoes=cheap, Avocado=OK I'll give you that one... Hey, that's worth $11.00! NO! Don't get me wrong, I love a healthy meal, but the opportune word here is meal, not snack.
The wife had the AZ burger. It too was $11.00 and then $4.00 for a 3" bowl of fries. Yes. $4.00 for a CUP of fries. Have you ever been to 5 guys? Their small order of fries is $2.99 and more than enough to split. I know, not necessarily an accurate comparison, but again a very inexpensive item to produce. I digress. Back to the burger... The brioche bun was good. Did someone break in and steal ALL the spices? Bland is an understatement. By the way, my son had the kids cheeseburger. Same size as the AZ, patty, very little cheese, and bun. Half the price. Equally as bland. There were 2 pickles though...
Lastly, we ordered green tea, a cold brew iced coffee, and an espresso. The tea and iced were actually very good! Hence the second star. The espresso on the other hand was no joke the absolute worst we've ever had. Bitter, acidic and a mere sip for $2.50. Let me clarify, I make espresso every morning at home. We do not drink coffee. We know espresso. That was not espresso! That was just nasty.
In conclusion, bland, overpriced food. Good tea and cold brew. Horrible espresso. Good bread. I think they should scrap the menu (or at least half the cost of every item) or go exclusively baked goods. Buy some real coffee beans roasted by someone who's actually tasted good coffee. If you like this type of place/food, save yourself some money and go to Modern Market on Ray road. At least they feed you and there's some flavor...
