My friends and I were staying at a hotel nearby and decided to make the 15 minute walk over, and it ended up being one of the best parts of the trip. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming. The cashier was incredibly kind and patient, and even though the place was busy, everything moved quickly and smoothly. There were people studying, having conversations, relaxing with friends, and it just had that perfect coffee shop energy that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. The coffee itself was amazing. It tasted smooth, fresh, and honestly addictive without being overpowering. You could tell there was real care put into making it. Some places are overhyped, but this one actually lived up to the feeling people look for when they want a "good coffee shop experience." This is one of those places that becomes part of the memory of a trip. I would genuinely come back to SoCal just to visit this coffee shop again.

This Review has been WAY TOO OVERDUE…read more I've been coming to this place for a few months, it's my go to if I'm going to finish up work or just not think of anything and enjoy the coffee they have which I must say is REALLY REALLY GOOD, I've had like 70% of their menu and each drink just hits the spot better than the other, Americano? Hits, lattes? HITS HARDER, new drinks like their walnut latte? Oh you bet it's fire. Their VTM coffee tastes very very authentic as well and I'm very obsessed with this place. When you enter and specially in the morning they're usually busy so you do have to stand in the line to order or go straight and pick up the order online if you've made one online. They're very very fast and efficient! Every single time I go Alex always takes good care of me, we're pretty much best friends at this point! On top of that, Kevin and Barbra are also extremely friendly and I really love their attitude in the past few months that I've been going to this place I HAVE NEVER had a bad experience with any of the employees quite the opposite, they actually make the start to my day 10x better! Now the place it self is extremely aesthetic, quite, warm and automatically puts you in the mood for productivity with a peace of mind because of all of the colors around (black, white and grey) I should've left this review a while ago but hey better late than never! Thank you blk dot for these amazing employees and coffee!

Life is good. Speaking of good, the tres leches cake was delicious. I love deserts that are not overly sweet and as Goldilocks would say, this one was just right. The cake was very moist and flavorful. The berries help to provide a tangy balance to perk up the taste buds between the bites of cake. An excellent Father's Day treat to wind up the weekend.

Had it with a side of potato salad, which was a nice complement to the heavy sandwich. Wife got their chicken pot pie, which was had a delicious crust. Wife would have liked it to have a little more filling; however, it was pretty enjoyable. Their bakery is pretty good as they serve plenty of classic cakes and cookies. I've had their flavored bagel chips gifted to my office on several occasions and they're good, but it would be nice to have suggested dip/flavor pairings for them, that could offer their customers more interesting depth to the delicious snack. Anyway - for our dinner at the deli, service was on the slow, which made a casual dinner after a long day feel very, very long; however, I'd come back to satisfy cravings for pastrami.

I have tried the add sausage, or the extra bacon, but the truth is, the best one is the OG. They put bacon and chorizo and it's fantastic every single time. Would definitely recommend. Sometimes they are hard to reach by phone because of how busy they are but I was in and out in about 5 minutes after ordering. Also very reasonably priced, just over a 10 spot for a very filling burrito Oh and the salsa! Please do not forget the salsa!! (Consistency!!)

During this visit, I ordered the Apple Peach Iced Tea. The homie got the Black Sesame Oat Latte. No complaints on the drinks. I loved mine, and the lady at the register offered to adjust the sweetness level for me if it wasn't up to par. Thankfully, it was right on the money! The Tonkatsu was the sole dish we shared, and we both agreed it was delicious! I've had this dish at other places and more often than not, it is usually greasy since it's fried. This was not the case. I don't even think they use panko breadcrumbs. I'm guessing they use corn flakes, but it WORKS and gives the perfect crisp to the protein! The salad and rice were also a good portion to share if you're not starving. The restaurant is very casual and has a laid back vibe. The inside was full of students studying, and young families so we opted to sit outside in the fresh air. Prices are very reasonable. The establishment is accessible and the service is great! I am going to keep this on my bookmark list. Who knows.. I may end up here again tomorrow! =)

Any larger than that you'll have to try your luck on the studies that already planted themselves in their seats. The drinks are delicious. My sesame drink was thick and creamy minus the lactose. It kept me going for the two hours I was there. It wasn't too sweet either which I prefer. The service was decent but nothing to really complained about. Ample parking right in the front. The con is that it's right across the street from the cemetery tho I found it quite peaceful when I was there. So the next time you need to get out of the house to get some work done or catch up with friends, I'd recommend Bancone.

First time coming here after my original breakfast spot was extremely busy--and I'm honestly so…read moreglad it worked out this way. I had seen Dalton Cafe on Yelp and noticed they're known for their homemade muffins and omelettes, and they absolutely did not disappoint. I tried the pumpkin and cream cheese muffins, and wow--warm, moist, and incredibly comforting, easily some of the best muffins I've had in a long time. For my main, I ordered the Dalton omelette, which was everything and more--perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and super filling. The hash browns were a standout, tasting like mashed potatoes but crisped up into hash brown form (in the best way possible). It's been a while since a breakfast truly wowed me, and this one definitely did. The ambiance really added to the experience--cozy and comforting, especially being seated by the window facing outside. The Christmas decorations and holiday music were the perfect finishing touch and set the vibe perfectly. Definitely looking forward to coming back. This spot is a gem for a proper breakfast.

Loved everything I got to try out recently…read more The dirty fries were to die for. It had the perfect ratio of fries and chopped up chicken w/ their sauce on. I am ready for seconds! I really appreciated the fries actually not tasting soggy despite the seasoning on top. The chicken bowl with eggs were delicious too. I liked the coleslaw they included as well. It had a nice black pepper flavor to it that made everything taste a bit more brightened. I wish it gave me a no rice / all slaw option. I also liked the lack of sour / mayo laden nature of typical coleslaw. This, I wouldn't mind eating all the time. I usually otherwise can't stand coleslaws. The service was friendly and efficient. The pricing was reasonable for the amount of food I got. The place had good parking and the online ordering went through without a hitch. Looking forward to returning again in the future.

The crack sauce lives up to its name--it's slightly sweet, a little tangy, and tastes like a blend of BBQ and honey mustard with a sriracha kick. The fries are perfectly crispy and even better when dipped in that sauce. Do yourself a favor and order an extra side (or two) of the crack sauce. You won't regret it.
