    Quaint coffee shop in Eastern Market that is the perfect place for a caffeine pick-me-up and pastry! Came in with a friend and enjoyed an Iced Americano with Irish Crème Syrup - my favorite mix. The coffee was tasty and hit the spot while I was experiencing a slight food coma from Han Palace brunch. The service was speedy and the store was clean. It is very heavy on the mom & pop ambiance - a charm I really appreciated seeing in the city. A great place to crack open a good book or get work done! I will definitely be back!

    Service was TERRIBLE. She was flat and rude. The coffee sucked and was watered down. Do not go here it's all around bad.

    Cinnamon scone + chai latte

    I stopped in to get some studying done and grab a treat. The floors were dirty with crumbs from previous patrons as well as tables being dirty with said crumbs. This did not massively take away from my experience as I was able to sit and study regardless but be advised. Cinnamon scone (warmed) 5/5!! I was so delighted with this it's soft and melts in your mouth with a delicious cinnamon flavor Hot chai latte 5/5!! The chai is a wonderful blend of spices and was made super quickly You do need to request the bathroom key to have access to one of the two bathrooms available!

    Cute little Eastern Market cafe. Fast and efficient service. Coffee and tea choices withs some nice breakfast , wrap, and other options. Outdoor and indoor seating is a plus. Great views. Clean bathrooms. Give them a try

    Great iced decaf coffee that's been steeped and chilled which takes the bitterness and acid out of it, and it was a treat !! It's also the most reasonably priced coffee on the hill ... worth a stop in if everywhere else is slammed on the weekends !

    This place was formerly Port City Java, a franchise operation. The counter staff told me that it's had an overhaul of sorts very recently and now is an independent coffee house. Some of the same furniture remains however it's clearly had a fresh paint job and new flooring installed. Kitty-corner from Eastern Market, the space is ideal for observation. I like to sink into one of the comfy chairs on the side of the cafe that faces Eastern Market directly and watch it come to life in the morning. The coffee and food are good; no complaints. Service is friendly. It's the location that's a big draw for me.

    Watery ice coffee with almond milk

    Glad to have a place to plop down, plug-in, work, have coffee, and people-watch next to a window in a non-pretentious and affordable place near Eastern Market. However, the negative reviews about the service and offerings resonate with me: grumpy, inattentive service over mediocre coffee and pastries. The older man and woman working the counter were having a drawn-out argument about work schedule that was slightly annoying, but somewhat endearing when you later realize it's a love-hate relationship. It's hard to complain when the place does the job when you walk away from the counter and find a seat to work. Besides, the Pan Quotidien and Starkbucks nearby seem worse.

    Sunday afternoon coffee and flee market
    Tariq A.

    Super affordable cafe. Where else can you find a $3 egg and cheese burrito. Nice staff and great location, the Sunday Flee market is right in front of this cafe

    Taro latte (hot)
    Fred S.

    Perfect little coffee shop. I've had their black coffee and it's good, but this time I tried their taro latte and it didn't disappoint. I'll be coming back to this place often.

    Asked for light ice and they filled up cup! $6

There is metered street parking and commercial lots/garages within a reasonable walking distance from here. They serve wraps, salads, and cold and hot sandwiches. I ordered the Korean Steak Sandwich. It took them about 10 to 15 minutes to prepare my sandwich. They should use a number system for order pickups because people, including myself, had difficulty determining which order they were serving. Many of the sandwich names sounded alike. My sandwich was kind of small for the price, and it wasn't very filling. It was, however, very good. It was flavorful and packed with flavor. The service was ok. It was nothing special. They did their job and did not go beyond or be overly friendly. All in all, I would recommend checking this deli out for some really good sandwiches. They really do live up to their name, the Best Sandwich Place.

Personally, don't think the hype meets the expectations. But with that said, it's still a good wrap and I'd get it again but I don't think it's the best wrap I've had or worth going out of your way for. If you're hungry and near by, sure go get it but don't make any special trips just for this wrap. Id love to try their other options on the menu at some point!

Their selection is plentiful (just take a look at their extensive menu!), and everything on their menu is fresh and beautifully prepared. Some of my favorite dishes I've ordered here are the Chopsmith Salad, with steak, their Crispy Chicken Cobb Salad, and their Chimichurri Steak plate. But you really can't go wrong with any of their food selections -- I have never eaten anything at Chopsmith that I didn't absolutely enjoy! This is a fast casual spot, so you order either up at the register or their self-ordering kiosks (at the front of the restaurant), and you pick up your food (you can order for dine-in or to-go) when it's ready and they call your name. The service has always been great, and they're very friendly and quick about getting food orders ready. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and a great place to grab a quick meal. I will absolutely continue to visit and truly look forward to each and every visit!

The sandwich I got on my first visit was really good and exactly what I was hoping for. I ended up going back a few days later and ordered the chicken parm, thinking it would be another sandwich. It actually came as a salad instead. On the in-store menu it looked like it was listed under sandwiches, so I'm not sure if it was user error or just a menu layout issue, but it's something to double check when ordering. That said, the chicken parm itself was still good, I just wasn't expecting it on a salad. Overall, the food quality is there, just make sure you're ordering exactly what you want. Also, they're on InKind, so definitely take advantage of that if you use it. Don't feel forced to order from the kiosk, you do have the option to order from the front.

As much as I love the cocktail bar next door, I had no idea this epic place was here. The inside is a bit dark, yet so welcoming and cozy.

They are kind enough to give you a glass of water and the cocktail menu in case you want to get started. We were fancy and did the hearth table and WHAT a journey it was. From surprise drink tastings and bites to pretty much trying all new food items and combinations, I would absolutely do it again. I could name the things that I had, but you may or may not know what they are. All I can say was that it was seven delightful courses that left me just right.

The inside of the restaurant is fairly small with not a ton of seating but even more seating is provide outside with nice hightop tables and it is covered.

The portions of the sides were great and the food with tasty. I see why "chicken" is in this place's name. It was juice and flavorful. I also had a Hot Boy (old fashioned), which was balanced and nice, but I will say I anticipated more spice because of the name and description. Lastly, they have a fun little shot ski offer and it's pretty cost-effective, so this is definitely the place to come to kick off a good time.
