When you walk in you pick up a tray and some tongs and get to look through all the different glass cases of baked goods. You pick what you want and then pay at the counter. They have both sweet and savory options. I opted to get their matcha donut and a savory hot dog pastry. They also have specialty cakes, as well as espresso drinks. I love the variety of options they have and feel that their baked goods are overall fairly priced. I can't wait to go back and try something new!

They offer a wide variety of delicious…read morepastries, including both savory and sweet puffs, croissants, egg tarts, milk bread, pies, muffins, and danishes. We frequently order cakes from them for special occasions, and they're always a hit. The cakes are perfectly soft with just the right amount of sweetness. Their drink menu has coffee, tea and non caffeinated drinks, and my personal favorite is the iced strawberry matcha. The service is consistently quick and friendly. While it can get a bit noisy if you're looking for a quiet place to work, it's a wonderful spot to catch up with friends or enjoy time with family in a small group. Highly recommended!

Wow.. okay this long review gets started with me admitting that I'm not a big fan of Vietnamese…read morefood. (Coffee yes, food, not so much) So I'm going to admit have no idea what to expect when I walk inside there... and I walk into .. A warehouse? So I walk in (to get out of the rain, figure I'm going to grab something to go), and I don't even notice the Kiosk at the front of the door line. (You don't need it guys! Trust me! Your bartendresses/waitresses(?) were nice enough and had smiles on their faces, even on a day as slow as today was (or maybe that's why they were happy? Who knows). I don't need any KIOSKS... keep the ladies around to add to the likeability factor! I'm just wanting to get going and so I walk up to the counter, and ask her what she recommends (sorry, dear if i didn't catch your name). Well the ONLY thing I knew won the menu was the milk-tea , so that was the easy choice. And you know my first question to any new place I go. WHAT is your recommendation? It took the waitress a moment to realize I wanted her choice for good food, so I guess that came as a surprise of sort? So I take her choice of the special croissant and just because my eyes see it... How about a Korean Potato corn dog? Thinking that's all there was to the place (note they hadn't even offered to make the milk-tea yet), go find a table.. and then my eyes kinda finally open up to the place. An entire rack of deserts.. Not just any deserts but things like chocolate Tiaramasu (I'd just finished watching one of my weird streaming apps that nobody watches but me), and the chef there had just finished making chocolate tiaramasu on the show, so I was tempted.. but then next to that blackbery cream cake.. just basicaly three SHELVES of mouth watering goodness. But instead of asking I turn around and REALIZE there's an entire SHELF of asian/french pastries (obviously packaged and stored and sold) over to the wall. How the heck did i not see this when I walked in? Okay, so I go simple pick up a couple of deserts off the shelf to go with my meal while I'm still looking around. Unlike Amigo Sole, there's not a lot that draws in terms of art (again other than the ARTISTRY in the sweets department). It's at this point i notice that the restaurant/warehouse has it's own little Karaoke/TV (dont know if it's programmable or how it works). but i figured that's to keep up the warehouse/rave ambiance? Nothing that really stands out, but does make it a bit unique. Anyway food comes, (this is not a rapid cook location, obviously) and make my way out the door. The Milk-tea was PERFECT all the way home. The rest of it... the Korean Potato dog was MASSIVE in size, but was kinda of the bland side, while the specialty croissant wasn't _bland_ . that's not say it wasn't bad, it was just there. Maybe i"m just not a fan of Vietnamese cooking yet? The two pastries from the shelves were what you'd thing for store processed pastries... Next time I'm going to hit the REAL bakery stuff and hopefully that can pick up the score a bit. Service - 5/5 (again very friendly, smiling) Atmosphere - 3.5/5 (unique rave atmosphere without the rave) Food - 3/5 (Again, needs work.. or my tastebuds do?)

One con is that it's fairly loud in here, and each time I've been, I've never been able to find a spot to sit inside. Luckily, each time I go I'm always taking my drink to do.

Skip it if you want to feel like a welcome customer I've…read morebeen to Kaldi's on Skinker a handful of times and generally liked it, but my last visit has me second-guessing a return. The person working the counter was visibly disinterested from the moment I walked up, no greeting, minimal eye contact, and an overall vibe that suggested I was an inconvenience rather than a customer. He took my order without repeating it back or confirming any details, and sure enough, it came out wrong. When I pointed it out, there was no apology, just a flat, borderline dismissive response that made me feel like I was the problem for bringing it up. I get that working a busy coffee counter isn't always glamorous, but a basic level of professionalism and a simple "sorry about that" go a long way. Neither happened here. The coffee itself is fine and other staff are lovely. But if you end up at his counter, good luck, when the service makes you feel unwelcome, it's hard to justify coming back when there are plenty of other good coffee spots in the area that actually seem glad you walked in.
