(Sorry, no pictures this time! I was enjoying my food so much that I completely forgot.) The ambiance is welcoming, bright, and modern, and the restaurant is much larger than I expected. Everything was clean, and our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I ordered the Lox Plate, and it was outstanding. The salmon had the perfect texture and seasoning, the cucumbers and bagel were fresh, and all of the flavors paired together beautifully. I love seeing lox on a menu, but many restaurants either don't do it well or serve portions that are too small. Here, everything was spot on, and the portion was generous enough that I left completely satisfied. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal, and my husband and I have already said we'll be back very soon. This restaurant is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood, especially since there aren't many local breakfast spots nearby that aren't part of a chain. Highly recommend!

My friend and I are always looking for brunch places that are midway between us and stumbled upon…read more5800 N. The website doesn't really do the menu justice, it's kind of hard to read. That said, there are so many options, particularly for this vegetarian and egg hater. Pro tip: Make a reservation! The place had a solid wait from the time we arrived until we left. Service was ok, spotty at bits, but I also attribute it to the place being busy. We had to ask a second time for some missing items. To eat, I got the berry crepes and a side of hash browns with cheese. My friend got the eggs Benedict with a side of pancakes. The crepes were very good, but I preferred the bites without the berry mascarpone filling. The side of pancakes my friend got was huge, this would be plenty as a main. They are very good at accommodating larger parties, but do wait to seat you until your party is all there.

There are a few…read morethings that I look out for when visiting a new shop (grinders, espresso machine, house-made syrups, ease of ordering/POP layout, seating...etc.). My fiancé and I stopped in as soon as they opened to grab some fuel for our roadtrip out of town. We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door, bright and early at 6:30am. The baristas were super friendly. The atmosphere is nice and bright. Light wood tones and soft colors. Cute merch, too. The baked goods counter looked divine and wanted to purchase everything, but I stuck with a slice of banana bread. SOOOO GOOD. It was fresh, moist, and had the right balance of flavor between the banana and chocolate chips. Sometimes it gets too chocolatey, but the banana flavor was first and foremost. We ordered a drip coffee and a large iced vanilla latte with an extra shot. The drip coffee was fresh and hot with a nice flavor profile. The espresso used in the latte was fresh, bright, and slightly nutty. They have a La Marzocco, and you can usually expect pretty good espresso from those machines. I believe the vanilla was house-made, so bonus points for that. All things that I personally love in a latte! There was also a parking lot, so we didn't have to worry about street parking. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town! 10/10 recommend.

On this particular weekday morning, they had a great looking selection of donuts I sadly resisted, along with some other pastries.

The vibe in here is quaint and bright, with different seating options. Would be a good spot to work from! Due to its convenient location and parking lot, I will definitely visit again!

The counter attendant was a little brisk and rushed us a bit as we were ordering but otherwise she was very kind. Would be excited to come back!

Unfortunately, the food quality has gotten worse with every visit. I usually order the lox bagel, but it is definitely not worth $15. It doesn't taste very good, comes with only one slice of smoked salmon, and has too much onion. The coffee is okay. On my last visit, I ordered the avocado toast. It looked far from appetizing. It was served as two slices of toast with cubed avocado and a sauce on top that ruined the taste. It seems like the cooks are not putting much effort into preparing the food. On top of that, every time I have eaten there, the tables have been very sticky. I would rather spend my money at places that provide better food and a better dining experience.

We walked into a great place with the most charming character serving us! Caesar - the half Polish half Italian owner and pierogi peddler - was a barrel of charm and laughs and knowledge.

The shop is sparsely decorated but seems to be a real staple in the community, which felt special to visit as an outsider. My friend and I both ordered egg and goat cheese bagel sandwiches. I ordered an iced lavender matcha and my friend ordered a cappuccino. The sandwiches were made with boiled eggs, which felt extremely odd. The egg type was not clarified on the menu, but I feel like for a breakfast sandwich to include a boiled egg instead of a traditional fried or scrambled egg, that should be disclosed to customers with some sort of expectations. My friend said the cappuccino was "just like every other cappuccino I've ever had." The lavender matcha really just tasted like a regular matcha. It was good but not much lavender flavor! Our food also took a bit to come out, despite the coffee shop being empty (only one other person already dining when we came in) and what we ordered. It looked like there were only two workers. I personally wouldn't visit Sipping Turtle Cafe again, unfortunately. There are a lot of other great options around that satisfy me more.

Games- The games are organized alphabetically with featured shelves for two players games and Hispanic artists because this is Hispanic Heritage month. Food- I ordered the house special sandwich, a Jabanito. On this sandwich, the buns are replaced with tostones. It was an average size sandwich cut in half containing a decent amount of lettuce, tomatoes, and meat. I felt the sauce was on the lighter side as some bites would have sauce, but not consistent throughout. Additionally, the cheese on the sandwich was an American single, which did not fit the flavor profile.
