Asked for decaf but I don't think they got it right. I have a medical condition and my heart was racing for the rest of the day. Could have been dangerous. Please train your staff better. They have excellent biscuits, and the rest of the food is pretty good too. Coffee is average. Atmosphere is pretty chaotic and tables are often dirty. No wifi. Still one of the better cafes in the area. Service: Dine in Meal type: Other Price per person: $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
The best sausage breakfast biscuit I've had in the bay. Every piece of that biscuit was good. The homemade sausage patty and the soft scrambled egg beautifully blended with the cheese! All of it harmoniously well seasoned. Will be back! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Was invited to a mid-morning coffee get-together with current and past workers. From the menu board and their website, it 's clear that this place knows what they 're doing. It 's also a good sign that there were few, if any, free seats inside, 'cosothers must like the place, right? So, we sat outside and very pleasant it was too. I was grateful that the side street isnorth-facing, so the sun was hidden behind the coffee shop building. For those of us concerned with getting bald headssunburned, these are the kind of things we look for. The coffee was good....I 'd like to find out who roasts it so that I canbuy their beans at some point.
Love the food options and ambiance of this corner cafe! The poached egg sandwich was just what I was looking for but the avocado toast and chai latte were the stars of this breakfast. The avocado toast has a delicious layer of roasted garlic and the chailatte comes in a small bowl with cinnamon on top. I will be coming back for more!
