As I write this, this place has a 4-star rating overall and I think that's pretty accurate. It's a nice shop for a mall. I love the cold brew coffees. They gave me coconut milk from a fridge behind the counter and did not charge extra for it, which I appreciated, since I don't drink cow's milk. They only have paper cups even though the pictures that they have uploaded here show real cups and latte art. That is misleading, because I used those pictures to decide to come here and then that was not

We had Triple mushrooms and BBQ sandwich. All the ingredients were fresh and the food was well seasoned. The iced latte was good enough to enjoy weekend brunch. However, the table was not cleaned, the store was not well organized.

Great place to sit and enjoy the nice light breakfast bites. Prices are little high. Coffee is ok, not the best for boutique shop.

Kind of a bright and fresh cafe spot. Located right on the corner in the Shops at Riverside mall by Smash burger and Cheesecake Factory. Kind of an open outdoor feel. The glass wall of the cafe and exposed counter provides nice views of the comings and goings of the mall pedestrian traffic. Lots of tables. Nice selection of espresso drinks, pastries , salads and sandwiches. They can make a nice patterned latte if you request it. (See photo) The Cortado expressos are also very good. Fast count

Good coffee. Good flat bread pizzas and sandwiches, but the loud club music can be annoying. Also, some employees have poor hygiene standards for handling the food, and not such a friendly attitude to boot. New management and staff may be needed here. If they're not happy working here, they should find another job! It's too bad because the food and beverages are not bad!

Bright, mall‑corner café serves strong coffee and well‑seasoned flatbread pizzas, sandwiches and pastries — cold brew and cortado are highlights, and they offer coconut milk at no extra charge. The airy, glass‑front space with plentiful seating feels open and casual, ideal for shoppers and weekend brunch. However, service can be disorganized, tables are sometimes left dirty, music can be loud, and occasional staff hygiene and friendliness issues have been noted. Expect good drinks and grab‑and‑go options, but not a quiet, fine‑dining experience.

We ordered the triple mushrooms and BBQ sandwich at this restaurant. All of the ingredients tasted fresh and the food was expertly seasoned. The iced latte was a perfect addition to our weekend brunch. However, we were disappointed that our table was dirty and the service was disorganized.

As I write this, this place currently has a 4-star rating, which I believe is accurate. It is a nice addition to a shopping center. I particularly enjoy their cold brew coffee, which they serve with coconut milk from a fridge behind the counter at no extra charge, which I appreciate as I do not drink cow's milk. However, they only offer paper cups for their drinks, despite the pictures on their website showing real mugs and latte art, which I found misleading. They offer a selection of baked goods, from croissants to bagels, as well as a grab-and-go area with juices and salads such as egg and chicken salad. The seating area is spacious, with additional seats by the cash register. Overall, I would visit this place if I were in the shopping center, but I wouldn't make a special trip to come here.
