*GLUTEN-FREE ALERT*…read more I'm just now learning what a Guatemalan quesadilla is & I want one every day for the rest of my life. Thankfully, we have Cafe Ava for that. A Guatemalan quesadilla is sorta like a cornbread or a pound cake or a piece of actual heaven. It's got a thick but soft texture, it's a little bit sweet & a little bit savory, & it's topped with sesame seeds. My mouth is watering just writing about it. Cafe Ava makes their Guatemalan quesadillas with rice flour, so they are gluten-free. GLUTEN FREE PERFECT LITTLE PIECES OF HEAVEN. Anyways, I know where I'm going tomorrow for breakfast.

There is always tons of parking in the lot and the shop is super cute and clean! Very affordable too. The workers are always kind and helpful too.

Borealis has been a regular stop for me for years now, and I'm overdue writing a review. The…read moreBristol location is the newest and is tucked into a converted mill building on Wood Street. Tt has everything you'd want from a great coffee shop: comfortable seating, plenty of room to spread out and work, a rentable conference room, and something you would not expect from a coffee shop, the Aurora Bar, stocked with a nice selection of local spirits and other favorites. My partner and I stopped in for a quick nibble for lunch on Sunday and this was perfect. My partner went with the Caprese sandwich, which is served on a pressed ciabatta with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, spinach, pesto mayo, and balsamic. It was simple and tasty, and I was lucky enough to get a couple bites! I went with the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, which was also simple, but packed with flavor. It had all the obvious ingredients with the addition of pickles, which added such a nice briny little punch and really hit the spot. Something worth noting: both of our items were ordered from the laminated menu at the register, not in the beautiful leather-bound Aurora Bar menu, which appears to be an evening menu with cocktails and other tasty food items. For drinks, I went with an espresso tonic; the slight bitterness of the quinine plays really nicely against the bold espresso, and it's one of those combinations that's refreshing in a way that's hard to explain until you try it. One small note for the team: the Riverside location has always had a real warmth and cohesion to the staff that I haven't quite felt at Bristol. It's not a dealbreaker by any stretch, but a little more energy behind the counter would go a long way. Still a five-star spot, as the coffee and the space more than make up for it.

I'm really torn about this place. The coffee and food was good!! The staff were all super nice and…read morewelcoming. But what truly bothers me is their pricing. It baffles me that you have to pay more money for it to be able to go order or to put cheese on a sandwich that is marketed as an egg and cheese sandwich. At first, I thought I was doing it incorrectly online so I went to the shop and placed my order but no, that's how it works. It's not extremely pricey, but it feels Odd to me to pay an extra .20 cents for a normal plastic cup, .+75 centra for non whole milk, or .75 cents my sandwich to be made as marketed. Again not a huge deal because it's each less than a dollar but just seems extreme.

The scenery is gorgeous, right by the water. We ordered a hazelnut latte and a tiramisu latte after seeing their instagram post advertising its new drop. We got our drinks and the tiramisu latte was missing the mascarpone topping, so my husband went in to ask about it. He was told by an employee it's an extra $2 charge for the topping! The employee was nice and stated since we weren't aware they wouldn't charge us for it but i'm so confused. You advertise that the drink comes with it, so why is there an additional charge for it? My husband's hazelnut latte was also watered down and you couldn't taste the hazelnut unfortunately. The employees were incredibly nice and the views are gorgeous but the coffee just wasn't that great sadly.

It's a small space, especially now that it has to compete for room with Chomp next door; so it's pretty lively. You enter the cafe through the porch, which is screened in in winter for year-round dining. Once inside, you place your order and sit either on the porch or at some tables near the parking lot. The lot is made of seashells and is on the water so the ambiance is actually very nice. They'll call you when your drinks are ready so you can add cream or sugar yourself, but they usually bring food out to you. First of all, their chai is amazing. So good. They have different flavors; I'm a big fan of the vanilla chai. My dad LOVES their cappuccinos. I've had bit sweet and savory crepes here, and they're all great. They have some you can order on the menu but there is a big make-your-own menu with a whole slew of options. Usually I get the Brie, fruit, and honey crepe, it's so light, sweet; and summery!

If you're looking to try something beyond the usual vanilla or caramel latte, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.

There were plenty of seats for parties of all sizes but this weekend was definitely packed. Regardless, we loved the chill barista and our orders came out pretty quick. The overall vibes were nice, bustling, modern yet cozy. This definitely feels like the spot to study, catch up with friends and spend a lot of time in. Though I came in with the intent to order coffee, the Coco Ube Matcha on their spring menu caught my eye. Light with the right amount of sweetness, I really enjoyed this matcha. The chicken quesadilla itself had all the right things going, cheesy, gooey, savory, meaty and flavor packed. Paired with a side of sour cream, this piece of heaven is easily one of my favorite handhelds I've had in a while. If it's your first time visiting or meeting up with someone, do make note of them having two locations!
