👍👍 If you're a younger member of Gen X you'll feel right at home in this location. Stepping into this place is like stepping into a surreal museum of my childhood. Yes I had a few of those Lunch Boxes (actually I just found my dark Crystal lunchbox WITH THE THERMOUS!), yes I had a few of those skateb...

Arty, brick-lined hangout with a small patio featuring espresso drinks, sandwiches & flatbreads.

😐 The milk tea wasn't very sweet or milky which we're not used to compared to many other milk tea places. The taro smoothie was pretty sweet, but we found it grainy, maybe not blended well? There are many other teas at this shop and desserts. I've never seen a tea store with so many things to buy, it...

👍👍 This is a super nice coffee shop with relaxing vibes and delicious coffee. I tried large hot americano and it comes with 4 shots of espresso. Creme was super deep and thick. Great flavor came out from this basic espresso coffee and it was at proper hot temperature. Decor is nice and they sell gift i...

👍👍 Absolutely gorgeous store! It caught my eye from the street and I HAD to go in. Coffee, tea, and a variety of Turkish wares to buy. Massive choices of baklava, Turkish delight, and other desserts. The Coffee menu has wonderful variety. Beautiful shop to explore and stop for a break in. I could have...

👍👍 When I go to steak houses I have pretty set expectations: great food, nothing terribly inventive. And Ox + Anchor doesn't disappoint! The food was fantastic. We had the goat cheese croquettes and crab cake, as well as hanger and flat iron steaks with a side of potatoes. The crab cake: the crab cake...

👍👍 Good food and fresh ingredients. Tried this place for take out. Easy to order and pick up. Location had parking available, this location sees a lot of traffic. Food was good and came with extras to dress it up. A good place to pick up some take out. Or even dine in.

😐 Been here twice. Nice spot, good coffee. But the staff here either need to be replaced or given mushrooms. They all act stressed out like they're saving babies while simultaneously curing cancer. It's coffee. They should be having fun and engaging with the customers. If they can't handle the stress...
