I was told everything was made from scratch and I believe it! Had their breakfast burrito and a slice of zucchini bread and took one of their bomb brown butter cookies to go. Prices were a little higher but you get what you pay for! I will definitely go back and was happy to see there are couple locations closer to my house!

With so many options for healthy food in the area, the bf and I settled on Parakeet Cafe. I like…read morethe fact that they have so many healthy options available. I ordered the Parakeet Bowl with chicken and the Strawberry Matcha Iced Latte with Oatmilk. The carrot salad was the only thing I liked in this bowl. Chicken was dry and rice was underdone. As for the strawberry matcha, I mainly tasted the strawberry puree with barely any taste of the matcha. The milk kept separating, so you had to keep stirring it to keep the drink incorporated. The bf ordered the Best Burger Ever. Definitely has a cleaner taste than the burger I had at a digferent spot. This was just okay for me. For dessert, we ordered the salted brown butter chocolate chip. We couldn't taste the brown butter and the chocolate chips were super large chunks that when warmed, it gets all over you. Perhaps smaller chocolate chips so it's not so messy. The ambiance is airy and open, which I liked. A casual but upscale fast casual restaurant that missed the mark for me for this visit. Customer service was good and food came out timely.

Hidden gem alert! TOAST is fabulous. FYI: TOAST shares a parking lot with Ken Sushi Workshop (Ken's…read morewas packed on a Friday at 12PM and they couldn't seat me for 20+ mins; being a solo diner didn't matter, so be sure to make a ressie at Ken's if you want to eat there!). But I digress, back to the parking. Be prepared to look for a spot to park, but atleast parking is ample and shaded. I left TOAST before 2PM and people were still driving into the parking lot! I walked to TOAST a little reluctant, seeing how it's inside a corporate building. Once inside, I followed the signs. The interior is a little sterile but it is a much larger and pleasant space than I expected. No music. It is very quiet inside. There is a pretty outside patio in the back that caught my eye but I chose to sit inside. The booth seating is very comfortable. This place is a solid choice if you're single btw. You can sit pretty much anywhere with your laptop or if you just want to read a book and enjoy some fine ass coffee in peace, you can! I love coffee and espresso, and it turns out their Mexican Mocha is quite the fabulous diva. The mocha cup is a glorious, oversized mug with the most delicious sprinkled cinnamon on top. It was hot, rich and delicious. I missed breakfast (it's over by 11:30AM, so I'll return to try their French Toast and their Filipino Breakfast burrito). I decided to get the "Ain't Your Classic Burger" cheeseburger, which is on the Sandwich side of their menu. That Chuck brisket patty, you guys... ooh, it's to DIE for. Tender. Moist. Gigantic. A whopper size of a burger with the perfect amount of melted cheese, pickles, spring lettuce (yay! No sad iceberg crap), chopped fresh red onions (my favorite), brown butter dijonaise (ugh so good), and a secret sauce that was actually worth being called a secret. I didn't add extras, but you can actually add an egg or bacon to your burger. High Cholesterol lovers can unite and rejoice here lol. it's worth noting how fresh all of the ingredients tasted. The brioche bun was a nice choice. So was the crisp spring mix lettuce, the juicy tomato and crunchy red onion bits. I ordered a side of fries and tbh, they were average. They reminded me of an attempt on McD's french fries. They did come in a cute stainless steel fry basket and it does elevate the plate presentation, but I might skip those next time. It was the cheeseburger that had my full attention here... well, and the delightful mocha. No pictures this time. I devoured everything. I think this is a solid cafe on this side of town. It's hard to find zero wait times, available and comfortable seating, fresh food, solid portions, and continual peacefulness in a morning/early lunch establishment. I'll be back soon.

Came back here for brunch with a few friends, and the experience was just as good as I remembered. Everyone working there was incredibly nice, especially Larry, kind, attentive, and super informative. We ordered: * Salmon toast with dill: 5/5 * Filipino breakfast burrito: 5/5 , the garlicky vinaigrette sauce took the flavor to another level. * Apricot toast with mascarpone and ricotta cheese: 10/10, sweet, savory, and unbelievably smooth all in one bite. I highly recommend this place.

Checked the news for about 5 minutes then the manager (clipboard) comes out from the back doors with two employees and is telling them soMy tasks. I don't interrupt and wait patiently for them to acknowledge me. They all walk past me and to the back again. About 30 seconds later, another back of house employee walks to the pizza oven then comes over me asking if I need help. I order 2 eggs over easy and he says, "sorry I don't think they open until 830a., let me check." The awesome employee goes back to check and sure enough, nothing for me unless I wait almost an hour and a half. The coffee bar appeared to be open, but that's it. Thanks to the employee that did help me. HUGE no thanks to the manager and her employees for some pretty poor customer service.

There is no coffee flavor at all, just this overwhelming bitter and sour taste. This is not just from being a strong drink, the taste I'm describing here just feels like something is very wrong. I ultimately had to throw it away because it was making me nauseous. Service: I had a bad experience with the employees here. The barista misheard me and gave me the wrong drink. When I corrected the mistake and told them I ordered a latte, they sighed and rolled their eyes at me. Then when they gave me the latte, they glared at me and used this exasperated tone of voice as if I asked them for something totally unreasonable. The cafe was empty at this point, there were no other drinks being ordered or made, so it's not like I had caused some major backlog or delay in their work. Afterwards, I realized that they were just in a hurry to get back to chatting with the other barista and sipping their own drink lol! Now that I think about it, I also didn't notice them washing their hands between drinking their own beverage and making customer drinks...so that's kind of gross. Ambiance: The tables both inside the cafe and in the outdoor seating area had crumbs and drops from spilled drinks. It doesn't seem like anyone is wiping them down. The outdoor seating is comfortable and good for working, but doesn't have much cover from sun. There are very few tables and seats inside the cafe, and the inside of the cafe is uncomfortably warm, humid, and stuffy. Overall...this place is the worst!!

Today, I saw grounded beans (I'm forgetting the other word) at the base of my drink. So this drink was just average for me. The price for a PLAIN latte, in my opinion, was steep.

They close at 1pm in the summer time and I came in around 12:30pm luckily they were still taking orders.

I tried the tuscan chicken panini and I did not expect the portion size to be so big! The sandwich was so filling, and the side salad was huge! The chicken was a little bit dry but wasn't bad. I really liked the pesto and rosemary bread. It was very crispy. I was a little skeptical of lettuce in this type of sandwich at first because I feel like other spots usually use a different type of veggie, but it worked really well! It added a nice crunch to the sandwich. They were also so kind to let me sub swiss for mozzarella :) I really enjoyed the house salad because it was very fresh and refreshing. I loved the dressing. I want to come back to try their other options! They have pastas that sound yummy too :)
