There were different types of tables/seating to choose from and everyone seemed to be smiling and in a good mood. They were playing a mix of R&B that included T-Pain, Snoh Allegra, Musiq Soulchild, and Bruno Mars to name a few. They had beautiful paintings of various influential figures in Black art and culture on the walls, and upcoming events shown on a screen behind the bar which I especially appreciated (They have karaoke on Thursdays!) There was also a band set up in the front, and I instantly made a mental note to return for the live music. - I ordered the iced "LCD" latte to drink and the Avocado Smash for a quick bite. I really enjoyed the LCD. I'd consider it to be more lavender forward but I love floral/herby flavored coffee drinks so I was absolutely okay with that. My avocado toast was pretty good and reasonably priced at $12 - There is an easy, laid back vibe so I don't recommend visiting when in a rush. Mix and Mingle is absolutely a place where you want to stay awhile, and I look forward to visiting again

And love the Saturday Business Day!!!! - very cool for small black owned businesses to share their product and services. I've been here a few times now and really do enjoy it . I will say I recently didn't have the best experience with a take out order , who was taking orders as well as making coffee drinks--- took about an hour which is normally not the case. I also was waiting on the latte for a long while and no acknowledgment from her that she forgot when I attempted to inquire what was going on; since others who came in after me were getting drinks. Maybe some customer service training would help to at least address the customers when an inquiry was made about where is the drink. Would have been nice for her to acknowledge something !! I ended up getting a refund from another person up front. All in all I love the place and will come back for sure.

The place itself is huge and has literally everything you could need for a breakfast quick stop. However the prices are insanely expensive. I totally understand things will be more expensive in a hotel but this was overboard. Almost 6 bucks for a yogurt I can get in the market for 1.50. 5.00 for a croissant which was mediocre at best. I did like that they have Starbucks coffee but you would never know they service Starbucks because it isn't displayed anywhere.

I've been to plenty of Starbucks, and this barista here with the cap (see photo) was very rude. The…read moredrink my aunt ordered at first wasn't like what she got at other Starbucks it was overly sweet and didn't have much matcha flavor. When she asked the person behind the bar why it was too sweet, he spoke to her in a very condescending manner. So she asked if she could get it made again, and they did, only for the second drink to have metal/foil pieces in it. When she brought this to their attention, he was very much like, "Oh well, I don't know what to tell you it's not us the blender is in one piece." I watched my aunt pull three pieces of foil out of her mouth. It was like he just wanted to double down that it couldn't be foil or their fault until another barista said it looked like the foil you pull off milk cartons. Once they all collectively agreed, he offered to make it again. At that point, she didn't want that drink because of the issues beforehand. So she ordered the mango dragonfruit, and he was still condescending because she didn't want it too sweet. The other baristas giggled because they knew his attitude, and you could tell he was annoyed and acting that way purposely. I was a barista for many years, so I get it. You can't make everyone happy, but as I sat and watched this barista's behavior, I felt it was very uncalled for, especially when there were foil pieces in our drink due to a mistake on his part.

Coffee was fresh, conversations at neighboring tables were great, and local focused, maybe I've been missing out. My only gripe is that they use disposable cups for every order, and even though we dined in, I still had a paper cup to throw away which doesn't seem like the best impact environmentally, or even for their bottom line!

When I got to the place, the food was ready but was told The Mamba was sold out. A little disappointing since a few things were showing sold out online already. I asked the woman behind the counter about a couple more options but was told they were also sold out. So I asked for a recommendation for what they had left and I just got hit with an I don't know. I eventually was able to settle on a Thai Tea after finding the menu. So I originally requested 25% sweetness for both drinks but they both ended up being very sweet which was kind of disappointing. In addition to that, there were no boba straws which made things difficult of course. Food was good from Double Up Burger but I can't get behind the drinks right now. I might give it one more shot but this experience wasn't too good.
