Had been craving Leavened for a week and finally decided to give in. Only problem is it's near my…read moregym... so I got pastries after a workout session. Whatever. I'm so sad about this, but this was not my favorite experience at Leavened. Customer service was great of course but my selections fell short. I got a mushroom and ricotta croissant, which was fine. I forgot the ricotta was supposed to be there because it mostly tasted liked mushroom, but it was good. I also got the cinnamon monkey bread. This was not good. It was seemingly cooked in the paper that it was served in so the top of the bread pieces were crunchy, the middle was softer and then everything else was completely stuck to the paper. I didn't get to eat about 1/3 of what I paid for and I had to work really hard for the other 1/3. Also, the bread had a very spicy taste. It must have been cinnamon and allspice, but it was entirely too much and very overpowering. It truly tasted like a spicy savory bread which is not what I was expecting or wanted. Monkey bread is usually gooey and sweet. This missed the mark, but that's okay. I'll certainly return for another treat soon. Also the bread was looking fire this day.

I think I've tried this place enough to finally declare it an overall disappointment. Today I tried…read morethe hoisin tofu sandwich. The bread was fresh and crusty, there were two small strips of tofu that had maybe been dribbled on by hoisin sauce at some point, some lettuce and jalapeño slices, and carrots. The sandwich was dry as a bone and a really sad empty version of a banh mi. The chocolate rye cookie I bought as a back up was thankfully still deliciously chocolatey and soft as usual. The guy at the register said the bread pudding still has a "cinnamon roll base, so it has orange in it" despite nothing in the sign denoting this awful addition to bread pudding and the fact that cinnamon rolls are not orange rolls. But I digress and I won't fight with a cashier over their poor decisions lol. Also got a cherry chocolate sourdough on impulse. Pray it is soft inside.

The prices are cheap, the food is lovingly made, and the staff start to feel like members of your family after enough visits. I count my calories and don't like to spend money frivolously but there are plenty of healthy and cheap options here. I sometimes get a salad from the salad bar or a buffalo chicken wrap when my packed lunch just isn't cutting it. When I get hunger pains before lunch, sometimes I pick up a bagel or belvita biscuit. And when I am low on protein, the staff is willing to add a chicken breast or egg to anything I order. The inside is basically a cafeteria but it is always clean. And packed!

UnBar is a woman-owned wine bar and coffee shop union. Is there a better duo? I don't think so. I…read moreunexpectedly really enjoyed my experience. I stopped in today for a cup of morning coffee but walked away with my hands full. I got iced coffee which came in a smaller than I wanted cup. I also got mushroom latte which was perfectly spiced with cinnamon, and very smooth. I selected almond milk and feel like it paired well with the ingredients. Also I had to have some baked goodies after looking at the bakery case. I ordered croissant which honestly I found to be not fresh but still good. Apricot tea cake in the perfect world deserves its own paragraph. It was delicious, generously filled, and everything a tea cake should be. It's a must have! Service here is phenomenal! I mean top notch, attentive, and very genuine. There was only one employee serving the line but she did it with such a level of positivity that it made my morning. She asked if baked goodies needed to be warmed, asked about drink carriers, milk preferences, everything. She was consistently friendly with all customers. I really applaud this cafe on having such warm and friendly service. I wish more workers were in this morning to attend to the line but the service was incredible. As far as the cafe layout and amenities, here's the scoop. The cafe has wine, beer, coffee, and breakfast/lunch grab and go's. They have a coffee club where you get your own tumbler and you can join for $20. They also have plants for sale on a display much like Phoenix coffee. They also have a printer that you can use to print things. I don't know about you but I always feel like I need to print things. I mean it. The cafe has indoor and outdoor seating, was quiet when I was there and is somewhere you can really focus and do your most meaningful work. I also like the separation from the counter to the seating portion that makes it more secluded. I could totally see myself sitting here all day outside and enjoying the sunshine. Overall, if you have wine or caffeine needs, stop by this cafe. It's an unexpected gem of Larchmere. Order mushroom latte, it's a unique local find and is very tasty. Lastly, the cafe seems to have many regulars. One of the customers said "it's always a joy to be here" to cafe employee. That's exactly how it felt here - joyful.

My husband enjoyed his British shorthair tea. The staff was helpful with my order and informed me they were booked today. I will say you have to book ahead on their site to be able to go into the actual area to visit the cats. Since they are rescue cats they're timid so they don't approach people as much so the people I saw trying to pet them wouldn't really get the opportunity. It's a cute concept so I'll try another time.

CASH ONLY as of 8/9/2024!!!!…read more I've had an obsession with cubanos for years! I once spent an entire vacation in Sarasota just hitting up Cuban restaurants and eat all the cubanos I could. So once I found myself in the area on one of the few days Sabor Miami is open each week, I called in an order of a cubano sandwich ($12.50) and a cubano empanada ($3.50). They were ready in 15 minutes during which I looked around the restaurant's cute interior and themed merch for sale. I ate the sandwich immediately. This was one BIG honker of a sandwich! It kept me full for hours! The bread was toasted and incredible and the pork was tender and salty. The cheese was a bit too processed and of low quality, unfortunately. Meanwhile, the empanada is very small. For $3.50, I was expecting something bigger and stuffed with more filling. This was going to be my dinner (so I ate it a few hours after I ordered it) but ended up just being an afternoon snack. It was tasty though! I wouldn't mind having the sandwich again, that's for sure! The staff was also very friendly.

A nice place to do just that is "Le Petit Triangle Cafe" on Fulton in Cleveland. It's a cute little French cafe with sidewalk dining and a nice country French menu. Perfect for a snack or a meal. My wife had an excellent herb omelette and I very much enjoyed my smoked salmon deviled eggs. We followed that with a Chia tea and a good cup of coffee, along with a shared lemon curd crepe. Almost everything was perfect. The only reason for the 4 instead of 5 is really something they have no control over. However, it has a profound effect on the outside dining experience. Traffic on Fulton can get quite noisy, and that is unfortunate. Everything else was a pure pleasure. And the traffic problem is remedied simply by eating inside. I highly recommend you give them a visit. I'm quite sure you will enjoy.
