He mentioned that we needed to check out Kru as he helps roasts their beans as well. We are SO happy we did! The menu is not overwhelming, not too fancy, but simple. I appreciated that the baristas working were beyond friendly and open to answering any questions that came their why. I bought a medium drip and a bag of their dark roast. The drip was not acidic, brewed perfectly. We can't wait to try the beans we bought as well!!

The homemade coffee syrups are really good and I also love that they have some on site to purchase to use in your coffee at home!

It is small inside and can get busy but it is a very special place and it's easy to see why it is so loved.

The color scheme is amazing, and the service is second to none. They move efficiently throughout the restaurant; they don't have just one person assigned to each table but use a group approach, and you can order at the table with the app, which is cool. Bartender Benny was great! The food, I'll say, was fair. I do believe the prices don't fully reflect the quality, but the overall feel is great. The champagne machine is a great touch, so that was unique. This is a very upscale brunch, but it's worth the hype for the decor. Parking is not the easiest, but it's worth it.

Both the presentation and taste were on point. The service was also great.

I've tried a few of there other menu items including the BLT - classic homestyle presentation, delicious. Their Açaí bowls are huge and blended right in front of you. Berries and fruit always very ripe and fresh. The Avocado Toast is MASSIVE. Really fresh definition with arugula, feta and tomato. Great for a mid morning breakfast/lunch. All of the staff are super friendly and patient! Always have a wonderful experience with the staff there!

The staff were professional, pleasant, and coffee/tea focused! My wife enjoyed a black tea chai latte and I loved the reserve pour over coffee experience! I order pour over pretty much every time it's available at a coffee shop. Jacob Alejandro's pour over service is pretty much ceremonial! They serve it on a tray. The tray has the "pitcher", a glass for service, and a glass of palate cleansing jade tea in the middle. (I did have to ask what the jade tea was) The palate cleanse was the perfect start. The Costa Rican coffee was heavenly, one of those drinking experiences where even my amateur palate was engaged. It was truly nice to sit for a while and enjoy a great cup of coffee at Jacob Alejandro! Yes, they would fit in a larger city but smaller cities deserve great coffee also!

Could they really be open on Easter Sunday? It seemed too good to be true. A great cup of caffeine was just what I needed at that very moment. So my friend and I crossed Madison Avenue and peeked into the tinted windows. Not only were they open, but the place was bustling. The inside of Jacob Alejandro is elegant and beautifully decorated. Furniture, plants, music and wall art are arranged to set moods. It feels more like a club than a coffee house. The baristas are super friendly, helpful and patient. As I tried to make up my mind on what to order, they offered suggestions. I wound up with matcha. I think my friend had some kind of latte. I remember both beverages were delicious. They were made to be savored slowly. We took in our surroundings and it was very relaxing. We'll visit again. Thanks Jacob Alejandro for a nice experience.

It seems like people like to hang out there. We did get a seat. We both got the Mediterranean sandwich. I got mine on an everyday bagel and my friend got it on a rosemary bagel. My friend was very disappointed in her bagel. She said it was very "bready" and lacked flavor. Mine was just OK too. It didn't taste the same as what I usually get at the other location in Delmar. It was just as big and had the same ingredients but it just didn't taste the same for some reason. It actually had an overwhelming amount of avocado on it and it kept falling out. The vanilla chai latte was delicious!

I will say that as a first-timer, there was a little pressure once I got to the front of the line. My cashier wasn't the friendliest, which is why I gave 4 stars, but my bagel was a 5/5. The matcha was okay. There are lots of bagel options, and it's a great place to set up your laptop! Just be prepared for the crowd.
