These were some of the best egg whites I've ever had. The pancake was okay, the texture was good but it was lacking flavor. The Southern Benny was great although one of the eggs was over cooked, making it basically hard boiled. Overall we really liked this place and will be back!

You order at the counter and pick it up when ready in take-out containers. The cafe has a few tables for dining-in but no table service (and no tableware save for disposable chopsticks and utensils). While we were there, it was obvious that they do a brisk take-out biz. I had a scallion beef which was excellent; my daughter had one of their signature double-cooked pork dishes (which I must have next time), and my wife had a good garlic eggplant dish. My lychee tea was bang-on good, sweet and satisfying; my daughter's kumquat-lemon tea was crisp and refreshing. Service is quick and friendly. Definitely worth it!

We had a chance to chat and this just goes to show the personality the service and people going out of their way to run a business. I just want to think Ian and the Business for staying open and helping us out The milk tea was good and so was the Poké bowl.

I ordered two poached eggs, bacon, and home fries. The bacon was fine, a little chewy but some people like that. The home fries, again, fine. But, the eggs we cold and disgusting. Poached eggs, by their very nature, are cooked uniformly. Unlike fried eggs, they are submerged in water and cooked all the way around. These eggs came back with uncooked whites that resembled mucus. I'm sure the eggs were sitting there, waiting on the other orders to be fulfilled. Not wanting to be a hassle, I plowed through, scooping the cold uncooked whites to the side and discovered a piece of not so small egg shell in it. I told the waitress there was an egg shell in the eggs, they were a bit undercooked and cold. Instead of receiving an apology or accommodations, she said she'll share the info with the owner. I was then given an excuse as to why there was an egg shell in the eggs "we use farm fresh eggs and they're very fragile". I use farm fresh eggs at home, they are fragile. It doesn't take more than a moment to remove the shell before cooking and serving it to a customer. She didn't remove the meal from the ticket or discount it and she never apologized. Like I said, just an excuse. All that being said, the place is beautiful, indoors and outside. My wife's pancake was delicious. I'm sure many things on the menu are delicious. They also seemed short staffed. And I won't wright a place off because of one meal and one server. Could be an off day for the chef/cook. The server isn't a always an indicator of the restaurant's values. I do wish she was more accommodating - especially at those prices - but it could've been a perfect storm of being short staffed, rushed cook, and a server that doesn't care.

So for the past 2- I was always coming up on the ONE weekday they were closed. I finally saw that it was open today and went out of my way to try it! It was absolutely worth the wait. I got a strawberry watermelon smoothie and you could tell it was all fresh fruit used and it was so delicious! Definitely top 5 best smoothies I've ever had!!! This reminded me of a smoothie I got in the Dominican Republic- so FRESH & so delicious. The place is small- but ADORABLE! It was IMMACULATE in terms of cleanliness. I didn't see a speck of dust anywhere and the toppings for ice cream- appeared out of a magazine- it looked that picture perfect. They have a little swing against a wall- with a neon sign that says the name of the establishment. It appeared functional- but I didn't want to break it- if it wasn't so I didn't try it. Lol. Service was great! Friendly and personable staff and my smoothie came right out. It took under 4 minutes for me to get this delicious smoothie!!

Every time I visited (at least 5-6 times since their opening), a 'hot' coffee was always delivered to me at luke-cool conditions. I even tried to order two of their panini sandwiches on various occasions and each time the center of the sandwich was cold. I mentioned this to the staff on both occasions and it feels like it was not too big of a deal to them. I loved how the previous coffee shop felt like it was part of the community with it's decor, not just another chain. While I am glad that they kept some of the color palette, it not feels like just another chain that moved in. I even waited in line to get the 'special pin' when they opened, but I really fail to see how the quality reflects it.
