    Omelette was tasty and moist but there were egg shells in it. Iced decaf latte was dilute and bland. The middle-aged male store owner was quite strange and made us feel uncomfortable. Asked my friend if she was Korean or Chinese and where she was from (she's American), then claimed he saw her go home with a guy last night (we went home together). Would recommend avoiding if you are a POC and he is there. The woman at the till was very helpful in mediating the situation mainly by interrupting him and we appreciated that.

    We stopped here before heading to the beach. My son had a sweet potato smoothie, my daughter a Pork roll egg and cheese, my husband Canadian bacon egg and cheese and I had a breakfast burrito. All were good.

    First of all, Jess was great. She works there 7 days a week and doesn’t get breaks, AND DOESNT GET TIPS!! I had to ask for her Venmo since the credit card didn’t offer a tips option. The owner made us his “specialty chai” that apparently shouldn’t have espresso or should at least be tasted before adding. We got it iced but it was extremely watered down and unappealing. Food took forever; chicken salad exceeded the extremely low expectations that I had while waiting for 20 minutes and sipping on a very subpar drink. Highly don’t recommend.

    Highly recommend to anyone - excellent customer service, very polite staff. We dined in and they even provided fresh biscotti while we waited for our food. Coffee is so delicious and tastes natural, not processed like other chain stores. Would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again. Also, note that food is made to order so there may a bit of a wait but it is definitely worth it!

    Thank you so much for keeping a place like this alive. My Paisano from Philly with a great heart to serve. Thank you and your wife for putting the icing on our weekend. God bless brother.

    Came into the Resturant with about 3 parties there (1 eating and 2 needing to order). I got in line to order and an older woman provided us with menus and asked us to sit down and she will be over to take our order since we were dining in. We waited about 20 minutes, watching other newer parties being taken care of so I went up to the register to order. Another party was complaining about their order being made incorrectly and the older gentleman advised them that when you change your order multiple times, that’s when mistakes happen. The customer then responded by, i never changed my order. With that being said, when I ordered I spoke clearly, slowly and watched the younger woman type in and write each individual order. First item ordered- 16 oz strawberry pineapple smoothie. The younger woman looks at me and says banana. I then say no politely and repeated what I had just said. About ten mins pass of ordering and trying to figure out how to get their register to take a store purchased gift card, we sit down and wait. Two parties come in after us and order drinks and smoothies. We still didn’t get our smoothie. I advise the older gentleman that we are still waiting on our smoothie. He asked me what kind- I state strawberry pineapple 16oz. I receive the smoothie- strawberry banana. At this point not worth the effort to let him know that it is incorrect. Another 30 minutes waiting for our food (I ordered 2 pancakes, a side of bacon and sausage and 2 breakfast sandwiches). Food comes out and everything was as ordered. Just beware of slow service, unsanitary conditions (gentleman took bagels out of a case for sandwiches with his bare hands, younger female picked her nose and walked back to cook.)

    I do not mean to interfere with anybody’s livelihood, but the public has a right to know. Despite all the 5-star reviews this is easily the worst coffee shop I’ve ever been to - and I’ve been to hundreds, maybe even thousands around the world. I can put up with disorganized service (not knowing their own menu), being chastised for asking where the cream was (I was supposed to ask for it before getting my coffee), if the coffee is at least serviceable. But it is not. It is, in fact, terrible. Be forewarned.

    Had a really uncomfortable experience here. The owner asked my boyfriend if he was Chinese and claimed he looked just like his wife. Later, his wife came in, and he told her to show us a picture of her son. He said her son looked so much like my boyfriend that he had to do a double take when we first walked in. She showed us a picture, and it looked NOTHING like my bf except that they were both Chinese. He kept asking my boyfriend questions about if he had ever been to China, telling him about his own time in China, and basically making it very clear that all Asian people are the same to him. My bf was very gracious about it, and I wasn't going to leave a review, but after seeing other reviews warning POC to steer clear, I decided to do the same. The only upside is the bagels were really good and the lady behind the counter was really nice! She gave us great service. I ordered an iced latte and asked that he add only half the normal amount of syrup. It was so sweet it was undrinkable. I ended up throwing it away because none of us could stand to drink it.

    Over 50 types of tea. Waffles made from scratch, along with the rest of the menu. Owner is friendly, sets the atmosphere of this developing area perfectly.

    Amazing coffee and incredible selection of Italian baked goods, sauces and pastas. They have breakfast and lunch sandwiches along with an "Italian Dinner of the Day". Prices are fair and the staff very friendly.

    Out of town visitors needing a a caffeine boost. What a great mix of items and specialty drinks we've never seen before. As Midwesterners we're used to have frozen (blended) drinks and since they weren't in a rush, they were willing to accommodate our request and prepare according to our special requests. Stop in and try something new: great service and fun drinks!
