    My go-to for breakfast! Iced mocha and jalapeño bagel with cream cheese & bacon. Yummy!!
    Kris R.

    UPDATE: I've tried their Super California Sandwich for lunch one day and it's absolutely fresh and delicious! I usually get sourdough but there are other bread options! I made a phone order this morning and Stacy definitely knows me as the "mocha girl" haha! I absolutely love how convenient this place is and I'm always satisfied with the customer service and food! Thank you Ariel & Stacy for always making my day!

    Menu as of June 2025!

    Reuben

    So I want to start by saying that the girl working the counter was very nice, which is why I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1. Now, I ordered a Reuben sandwich, which is predominantly a corned beef sandwich with some garnishes, one of which is sauerkraut. What I received was a sauerkraut sandwich with a single, thin layer of beef garnish on top. On what planet, would anybody think this is a sandwich that should have been made is beyond me.

    I like this small business. The young women who works here is just really nice. She's very pleasant. Can get busy. Making an online order is super easy. Prices are pretty good. Food is good. Snacks are always pretty filled. But lots of small options available. Good amount of seating. In a nice little spot. I definitely recommend this place.

    Caramel Macchiato

    Like the vibe here. It's a small business with great customer service. Food here is good, tried various sandwiches and quesadillas so far. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Recently tried their caramel macchiato too! Delicious and reasonably priced.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Convienent mini cafe in the middle of healthcare offices and other offices. Staff is friendly. There is plenty on the menu to choose from. Healthy options such as salads and soups, plenty of comfort food to choose from also. My grilled cheese was DELICIOUS. Food comes out promptly. Cash or credit is accepted. There are areas to sit around the cafe. Would definitely try more options on the menu if I am back in the area.

    Cafe aero is right outside in the courtyard of several business (and possibly residential) buildings. Walking up, we were unsure if we wanted to eat there and the gentleman at the counter was inviting and pleasant. Once we decided to have some sandwiches, he was very helpful and accommodating with our preferences. We both ordered vegetarian sandwiches, but with the modifications, they were nothing like one another. Because they had no meat, we were able to get avocado for no up-charge. Sandwiches came up in a timely manner, and we decided to stay in the courtyard and eat them which was open and had ample seating. Sandwiches were fresh and tasty! If ever I'm back in this area, I wouldn't hesitate to return :)

    I have lactose intolerance and I asked for coffee with oat milk but also asked about the Cafe Mocha that had milk in it!!!! And she said their is non After she made the coffee and I took a sip I realized It has mail in it..... The service in this place is really bad except for all the offices here don't make the effort to come here!!!!! Really disappointing Because you didn't even offered me a new one just took the money and tossed the coffee away !!!!

    Grilled Cheese w/ Avocado and Bacon
    Brandon I.

    I had the best grilled cheese with avocado and bacon from here. The people working were friendly and suggested the bacon add on which of course I said yes to. Quick, convenient and well priced; this is one of my new favorite lunch places in the area

    Cafe owner always happy and provides outstanding service

    This is such a cool spot…read more I love a good coffee shop, even more so when they have more than just coffee. Easy does it has simple but delicious beverage options including coffee, matcha, hojicha, pastries and open face bagels. All delicious. But in addition to that, they also sell plenty of packaged goods like a copious amount of high quality take home coffee beans from some really amazing roasters, matcha and hojicha powder, snacks (like shiso sour cream popcorn), spreads, and tin fish. The shop itself is huge with plenty of seating and tables, making this a great coffee date spot or remote work location. Their branding is really cute and unique which adds to the overall vibe. We even experienced a cool pop up on the weekend when we first went! The service is also really great. Everyone is kind and helpful and the wait it never too long.

    It is a TRAVESTY... that I haven't yet written about the…read morecoffee shop I've dedicated my life to over the past year, because... well, like I said, you will always find me here! OVERVIEW Come for the equally balanced, delicious coffee AND matcha drinks; the spacious work setting; the side entertainment (like a free bookshelf + camp chairs outside), and incredible ownership. Be prepared for hard parking during peak hours (lunchtime) and possible lack of seats (especially during schooltime). DRINKS It is RARE to find a shop whose matcha is on par with its coffee; normally, one is better than the other. Easy Does It, or EDI as we affectionately call it, is pro at BOTH. With coffee served from Provecho, matcha from Nami and hojicha from Paru??? You just hit a trifecta of GOOD good. Our Typical Order: 1) Iced Earl Grey Latte - omg, I LOVE the earthiness that the earl grey syrup brings to the matcha. Matcha, to me, is either too grassy or too sweet; the earl grey syrup makes it a perfectly earthy balance. 2) Honey Cinnamon Latte - how good could a standard coffee shop latte be, you ask? They have the HCL at almost every shop, and it's not usually standout. EDI, again, blew expectations wide open. Their HCL is balanced: sweet without being saccharine; and you can actually taste the cinnamon. 3) Hojicha Latte, Hot - omg, there was a time when I ordered almost one of these A DAY. Again, another sleeper - if you like the taste of coffee but can't take the caffeine (for a late night drink, perhaps), a hojicha is a good choice. It has that grounded taste that coffee gives, and the hot version of it is like a HUG for your mouth and stomach. They also have cool inventive flavors like the Matcha Cloud, the Coconut Cream Cloud (which is a coffee cloud on top of coconut water, I hear it's refreshing), so you'll never get tired of the drinks they have here. I also want to mention that they do serve wine and beer, too... so there's something for everyone! FOOD Spend any time in a coffee shop and know... you're gonna get hungry! Thankfully, EDI has open-faced bagel sandwiches AND pastries here, all of which look mighty tasty; all of which I cannot partake in, since I am gluten free. But ohhh, gluten warriors unite! Thanks to the partnership that is Jacob of Made for Mei Mei Mochi (aka the protein mochi) and Easy Does It, you'll have your PICK of 5 different flavors of homemade, chewy, ooey, DELICIOUS MOCHI -- SANS added sugars and preservatives you normally find in the store. I'm telling you, I don't normally like mochi (it tends to be so sweet) but I love the texture. And Made for Mei Mei hits it all! Flavors include: 1) chocolate hazelnut -- which tastes like Ferrer Rocher, yum 2) ube 3) green tea / red bean 4) black sesame 5) pb&j (yes, he's stocked peanut butter & jelly, a fan-demanded flavor) My favorites are #1 and #4; sometimes I go for #2 and #5 to mix it up. Either way, I spend WAY too much on these tiny li'l treats I might as well become an early investor. AMBIENCE This place is perfect for computer work as light doesn't directly fill the whole space. I like a li'l shade when I'm staring at a bright computer screen. There are two rooms: front and back; the back is a li'l darker and more chill vibes than the front. I also appreciate that they have a free bookshelf (just replenish it with your own!), plus a few magazines scattered around (for decoration, but I still browse). I miss when coffee shops had analog media, especially for when we don't want to be glued to our screens. EXTRA CREDIT Easy Does It also offers their shop as space for community events. From mahjong with No Ambition Tile Club to wine and jazz nights IN SUM THANK YOU Easy Does It ~ Grace, Nancy, the sister I haven't met, Eugenia, and the entire team ~ for creating a lovely third space where I can work, enjoy my snacks / drinks, meet friends and co-work, and have a great conversation. You make it so easy to feel welcomed, and I'll forever be grateful for you :)

The first two times I ordered at the shop and they're is usually a line with a couple people and a wait for your drink. Considering the crowd, the wait was reasonable but I wish I didn't have to wait. So the third time I ordered online and I love that I was able to walk in and pick up really quickly. The parking is OK. that little shopping center that it's located in isn't the prettiest. The inside is typical dark coffee shop with seating. Not like the newer trend of coffee shops with brighter modern decor.

Not particularly long, it went by pretty quick because I got distracted from all the goodies while standing in line. I ended up getting a El Jefe latte (brown sugar espresso) to start, and it was pretty good! Above average and was easy to drink, not too acidic. The brown sugar syrup was okay, I'd get something else the next time. Wait times were pretty long, but the chance to walk around and see pretty flowers, rocks, and plants make it not such a bad thing at all. There are a few tables, but there weren't enough for my party when I went in the late afternoon (5pm-ish) Plenty of parking, and cafe employees are extremely sweet and cheerful.

If you're coming from the airport, it's not too far and you can squeeze in a coffee/souvenir run!

Wait outside on the sidewalk (no exterior seating) and someone will come to take you inside. Do not ring the door bell. The theme is to take it slow. Each customer typically waits 20-30 minutes to enter as part of how they do things, even if there is open seating inside. Not sure if they use a timer to space entries but it seems consistent. They take one group in at a time. Interior: A few tables around the wall and then bar seating. Would not recommend for parties greater than 2, there just isn't the space. They welcome service animals, babies/children and strollers from what I observed. The music was very, very loud. It was difficult to hold a conversation. I did not see a bathroom. Ordering process: After seating you wait for a little bit for them to bring small water cups and a QR menu with a table number and a set of rules. They do not have a physical menu, you must use your phone to order. Cell phone reception was dicey and took a long time to load. They have an interesting concept where you have a digital 'tab' open on their toast website. Unfortunately you must provide your full name, email and phone number. They have pour over drinks (note these can take 15-20 minutes), matcha, Hojicha and others. You may only order one drink per person at a time. They have a small snack menu with rotating foods. They use oat milk only. No substitutions allowed. After mobile ordering, drinks take 20-30 minutes as part of their take it slow vibe. Matcha $8 is from Paru tea and was very good. Hojicha $8 was too milky and didn't have a strong enough flavor. When you are done you walk to the register by the door and wait to be checked out. If they are making a drink you wait until they are finished. I wasn't really a fan. Staff were brusque. Music was too loud to converse.
