My mind was seriously BLOWN by how clever the design is to reduce waste - can every cafe/restaurant/wherever you can grab a drink from hop on this supply purchasing pretty please!!! The thought of helping the environment even just a little bit - which adds up to a whole lot considering the amount of to-go beverage consumption daily - really adds up to make a huge impact! But let's get back to Sevens - thank you for enlightening my day by your choice of packaging. The (hot( almond joy latte i ordered was awesome, as was the hash brown i shared with the hubs. I love the comfy inviting decor and service was friendly and top notch. I was second in line but it quickly stretched to the door as more ppl came for their cup of Joe's and even tho it was clearly under-staffed we all waited happily to place our order. Oh and opening 7 days a week (because you're Sevens!?! Hmm...) means I'll be back again soon because why oh why most ALL the best cafes are closed on Mon&Tues baffles me but since YOU are open i'll be back :)

Have been wanting to come to this women and queer owned cafe since I first read about it. My…read morepartner and I finally stopped in for coffees, an absolutely delicious vegan Caesar crunch salad, and a made in-house bagel. Everything was so good, for me the show stopper was the salad. My partner loved the bagel. We both enjoyed our afternoon coffee. The space is beautiful and cozy, it would be the perfect place to come and read or knock out some work. They have completely non-plastic to go cups which are unique looking and we loved the extra effort they put into sustainability. They have bags of their used coffee grounds for free if you need to add to your compost pile or whatever needs you might have. 10/10, will be back!

After a long drive to have brunch somewhere on Elmwood, just to find the doors locked, I ventured…read moreover here to have lunch and it did not disappoint! First off, I was greeted and found staff friendly and efficient! You have plenty of options for seating .. dining area, front bar, back bar, even an outdoor patio bar. Although it is dive bar-esque, it was nice and clean (let's be honest .. some dives have a stench and stickiness that can definitely ruin your appetite, no matter how much you may love them). They have a set up for bands to play, as one was playing while I was there for their 2 year anniversary (congrats!). What was nice is although I could hear the band (it was playing in the back and I was up front), it wasn't over whelming me. I have eaten places where, no matter where you sit, it's extremely loud, and I appreciated that you had a choice here. Now onto the food: The food should have been doomed to fail; my tastebuds were prepared to eat sweet, buttery, syrupy French toast with a mocktail at brunch elsewhere. But wasn't hyped about the menu because of this (which is not dog and pony's fault .. I had to work and didn't have time to research where else brunch was available). I settled on the umami smashburger by a suggestion of my waitress. Now once again, could have been doomed to fail as I'm not a French fry person and my favorite cheeseburger is one I make on my own. BUT WOW their food blew me away and made me forget all about my brunch let-down. The French fries were fantastic and had a great seasoning on them! The smashburger was great to the last bite .. and I was NOT expecting to finish it as it was a really nice portion (I ate lunch now 10 hours ago and didn't need to eat again it was so filling!) but it was so dang gone good I sure finished it! Smoked cheddar .. chimichuri aioli ... kimchi bacon jam .. oh ya that bacon jam was EVERYTHING!! Thank you to the staff at Dog and Pony for making my long drive worth while!

We came here for lunch because we seen so many great reviews but man, what a disappointment. The…read morebar area was nice, but the service and the food was not as everyone else described. I ordered the smash burger, my husband ordered the turkey sandwich. After we were waiting for our food for over 25 minutes, the server came over and said that he was just informed they don't have the turkey because they had an issue with that freezer. Ok, so my husband ordered the cheese steak because he was super excited for the bahn mi roll. My smash burger was alright, but the bread they use for their burgers remind me of those cheap buns you get from TOPS that just fall apart. The worst part was that they forgot the dog sauce on my burger, so I asked for the sauce, and THEY CHARGED ME FOR ASKING FOR SAUCE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO ALREADY BE ON THE BURGER I ORDERED. My husband made sure to tell me after we already left because he knew I would have fought it and our already 1.5 hour long lunch date would have been longer waiting for the refund... He ordered the cheesesteak and the sandwich was so small, and the "bahn mi bun" wasn't even toasted which is a signature for bahn mi bread. He said the flavor was fine but nothing to rave about. The worst part, for me, were the French fries that came with both of our meals. They were soooo heavily peppered that they were inedible. We asked for ketchup to try to make them tolerable, and they gave us a pre-portioned small cup of ketchup... You serve french fries with most of your menu, why isn't there ketchup on the table?!? Overall, It was a nice place to have on senrca street which used to only have the blackthorn and franchescas, but I would not eat here again.

I ordered the Meatball…read moreCulletto, and it was absolutely delicious, easily one of the freshest sandwiches I've had in the area. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The service was quick, and everyone was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, which made the experience even better. My only small caveat is that the menu is somewhat limited, especially considering how fresh and flavorful everything is, I would have loved to see even more options. That said, I was genuinely pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem and will definitely be stopping by again!

I went today to Da Nando with 4 friends today. None of us had ever been there. First, I have to…read moresay the owner is very friendly and makes you feel instantly at home. It's cafeteria style (for now, I'm sure), where you go up, order, pay for your food, then sit at one of the 4 tables. The place is very clean and for now, they have folding chairs, but you will absolutely overlook that when you try the food. It's a small place and I'm sincerely hoping eventually they can expand. And I'll explain why... . As the owner will proudly tell you, they have won awards for their sauce. I'm not in the least bit surprised... it is absolutely scrumptious! It's not like the sauce you find at most places. This is authentic Northern Italian sauce. The flavor is so rich, I could literally drink it from a cup! The meatballs are very flavorful, and the homemade bread... thick and hardy. . I ordered what was a breaded rice ball with a meatball in the middle. They threw in a couple extra meatballs and cut me a huge hunk of bread. My friends all ordered what was a stuffed half loaf of bread and got to choose their own fillings. We were all extremely happy with the food. . Now what makes this special other than the food... the two men who make sure your dining experience is a good one. The owner, once we were finished eating, sat with us at our table and got to know a bit about us. He told us that he also offers cooking lessons with Italian lessons! What a great idea for a group of people to experience. . Please give this little gem a chance. They certainly deserve all the kudos. We all agreed we will be returning soon. .

I took a little walk around the corner to grab lunch from BreadHive Bakery and decided to try their…read morevegan Björk sandwich. I honestly expected to have to go home and add some sauce or seasoning, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much flavor it had. The seitan really surprised me with the texture and taste, and the sandwich was packed with so much flavor. It was also more filling than I expected. They make their own sourdough in-house, and it really takes the sandwich to another level. I also tried the peach basil hand pie (not pictured), which was a first for me because I'm not usually a sweets or pastry person. It was too cute to pass up, and I'm so glad I tried it. The filling-to-pastry ratio was perfect, and even someone who doesn't usually go for sweets genuinely enjoyed it. I didn't get much basil flavor, but overall it was still really good. I heard they switch up the flavors often, so if you see the peach basil one, grab it before it's gone. The staff was also really friendly this time around. Everyone was warm and welcoming, and I loved the small-town feel of the bakery. I can't wait to come back and try more. 9/10.
