We did not see it driving south. Hopefully I now know where it is, I guess maybe we'll see. Inside, there are 6 tables and some of them are 2-3 seaters. We got lucky and there was a (single) table free. This was around 1 on a weekend, so perhaps end of lunch rush but if so I'd dread trying to plan to eat here actually during a meal time. Suggest having a backup plan just in case if that's you. You order at the counter but there were menus at the free table so you can peruse then come and order (and also hold your table). There are also menus at the counter. The menu is pretty broad for a cafe. It has a ton of sweet stuff, a ton of breakfast stuff, some "ethnic" stuff and some sandwhich stuff and a few soups. They also have a diverse number of smoothies and other sweets and coffee and other caffinated beverages. Before I forget, the water is 50 cents and is one of those little bottles...so basically no free water. The pastries are behind glass counters and presumably would be fast to go in and point and grab something. We ordered a "mango" crepe, soup and sandwhich (lobster bisque and ham and cheese), nutella crepe and an order of cucumber toast. SO also had a cold caffinated drink, I believe a cold brew latte. The food is very slow. Folks came in and ordered to go just smoothies and pastries, and while they mercifully got served before us, but I'm not sure I would have had their patience for just that. There is, for example, a boba place further down route 1. I guess by the time you get there and order and are served it might be faster, just depends where you are from and how bad your craving is. Anyway, I was low key starting to worry we got forgotten as everyone else was leaving but we got everything. It came in shifts, our crepes and drinks first then our meals second. I guess that's the right order by the time of day but lightly weird to have sweet before savory. Anyway, we weren't anywhere close to done by the time they second came out so all good. The food was all very good. The sandwhich was not big, maybe the size of a hamburger or even jr bacon cheeseburger (ala Wendys) but the soup was big and I had a crepe to eat too anyway. One of our neighbors said the mango crepe wasn't sweet, SO said it was super sweet, so your milage may vary depending on your tooth. The nutella crepe was jammed full of nutella so 0 complaints there. The toast did not look visually great (I didn't eat any) but SO said it was what advertised so maybe just not my type of food. I thought it was sort of small but it was also a few bucks less than the bigger dishes so...maybe fine? Fine with them anyway :) The worst part of the meal IMO was the water, hopefully they consider giving free tap in a bigger glass in the future. There is one bathroom which the staff shares with the patrons. I guess your milage may vary there too but it was never awkward. It's a pretty big bathroom...my guess is the place was actually a house that they converted to the restaurant, the front order area being the living room, the 2 eating rooms being bedrooms, and the kitchen being...the kitchen :P The placement of the bathroom would suck for a house anyway, so maybe they made the right call :P Overall, my experience was good but we did get a seat. I can imagine a lower rating if we didn't. I'd go there again but I would not take a large party and I'm not sure it's worth the drive from where we are to go out of our way. But that doesn't detract from my rating, that's just my choice. One more thing to add: the menu linked to Yelp is not complete. The photos taken are their active menu as of this review. Appreciate the person who took the time to post that.

The owners are lovely and they offer quite a bit for being in such a small space, from coffee (including proper Turkish coffee!) & tea to freshly-made sandwiches & other food/munchies. I got a breakfast sammie, which had a good amount of egg, turkey & cheese between the slices of multigrain bread. I've finished it now (delish) and I'm quite full. So, if you're getting labs done upstairs or in the neighborhood for something else, or you live nearby, pop by The Coffee Room. It's a great little place for a quick & delicious bite to eat. And for coffee, of course.

Hidden gem with lovely owner, Saeeda, and a few specialty treats you won't easily find elsewhere!…read moreThis is a super tiny but neat and clean one-person operation inside the lobby of 205 S. Whiting Street. It's an office building, so it follows those hours Monday-Saturday. I had just come from Labcorp and had been fasting -needed to eat and ordered a no-frills egg and cheese sandwich cooked panini style. It was good. What caught my eye, though, were the lentil sambusas. They looked super fresh and I asked who made them -Saeeda said she makes them and also the delectable looking chocolate sweets displayed on the counter. The sweets looked professional and polished -Saeeda gave a free sample to some customers behind me and they bought more and were raving about it. Being diabetic I had to pass, but they looked mouthwatering. Those same customers said they always stop in when they are near S. Whiting Street just to get the lentil sambusas. I bought 4 and tried one still warm when I got home. Let me tell you, I know a lot about samosas / sambusas -these were amazing and reasonably priced. They were lightly fried but very crisp and flaky (maybe phyllo dough) and not greasy. The lentils were so well seasoned but not overly so, nor were they salty or spicy -just the right balance of various spices and the cumin came through but not overwhelming. The lentils were not at all mushy and very well cooked -just right. You really need to go there just to get these wonderful homemade sambusas to go -and there's plenty of free parking and a few tables and chairs in the lobby if you want eat there. Like seriously... so flavorful and yummy. If you try, you'll come back. The menu, like the shop, is small -bagel/cream cheese, a few sandwiches, chips, smoothies, various cold drinks, apples, bannanas, packaged snacks/sweets, and the wonderful sambusas and sweets made by Saeeda herself. I'd like to point out that she seemed to be a master of coffee (there's tea also), including Turkish and Arabic coffee. Everyone was getting specialty hot or iced coffee plus something else. I heard one of the customers mention Yemini coffee, too. I only met Saeeda today and it was my first time patronizing her little place. I don't normally write long reviews anywhere for anyone unless they are great. Even as I write, I am very sick and in tremendous pain today... but my little stop at the Coffee Room this afternoon was so pleasant. I really like this woman enrepreneur -such a sweet person and making the most of her tiny business. I truly wish her well and just had to let others know about her homemade savory and sweet treats.

Was super excited they served a vegetarian breakfast sandwich all day as none of their other sandwiches were veggie. All good. Set up my laptop to do some work. The drink and sandwich came quickly. The sandwich was really terrific, warm and full of freshness, and there were condiments galore available if you wanted them. What dropped the visit was the lack of general awareness from the people running the store. Someone came to do deliveries (dad?) and they propped the door open to unload their van. They slowly moved things armful by armful - ok I get it, it's probably a family business, and it's hard work. Leave the door propped open. Gusts of cold wind were coming in and blowing so hard even the gals behind the counter would look over at the door open. I ignored it and went back to my laptop. It was open a while. After a bit I didn't see anyone going in and out, but the door was still open. Now other patrons were glancing at the door as they were getting blasted by the "feels like 21" wind. A little while later the guy who was bringing in items emerged from the kitchen, said goodbye to the people working there (his kids?) and walked out, closing the door behind him. Ok so we froze for no reason as he was done moving stuff but left the door wide open when talking with the staff. For a while. After that I couldn't get comfortable again. I noticed that they were not busy for a spell but one of the gals behind the counter played on her phone rather than cleaned up the spills on the counter or swept the floor. Those small quick things would have improved the inside greatly. Again I get it, this is hard repetitive work, but the awareness was lacking. The food and drink were not good enough to make up for this. I personally doubt I'll be back.
