    Love the vibe of this place! Came here for casual brunch and it was easy to find a table after ordering at the counter. The burrito and breakfast sandwich was good, the burrito was big so I took some home. The Ube French toast was ok, a little too sweet. Both drinks were delicious! Would definitely come back!

    I first heard about Forever from one of the foodie YouTubers I watch (Feed MeiMei) and of course I had to check it out shortly after watching her episode! I've had 18 Grams at their other location by Arden before and loved their coffee, so I was excited to try out their food. This location is in midtown, so finding parking is as expected for being centrally located. We came on a Sunday and it was bustling. The ube latte was a no-brainer to order, and I told my husband to order the Vietnamese hazelnut latte. To go with my ube latte, I promptly ordered the ube HK French toast, while my husband ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon, since he wanted something lighter. It ended up being the perfect choice for him since my toast was ginormous. We took a number and headed to find a table. Thankfully, there was a cozy corner spot, but man was the rest of the cafe packed. When my toast arrived, I honestly wasn't expecting it to be huge, but wow I definitely got my money's worth. It was the perfect amount of sweetness as well, since ube itself isn't too sweet. I've never been a fan of anything too sweet, so this was excellent. The toast itself was pillowy on the inside and crispy on the outside for a lovely crunch. I loved the amount of ube my French toast came with, and shared a few slices with my husband. The fruit was fresh as well. He enjoyed his breakfast burrito, and stated that it was filling without being heavy, and that the salsa was correctly done. As a native Mexican, he is picky about his salsas, and he said this was authentic. The coffees were delightfully strong yet well-balanced. The ube in my latte shone through nicely, and so did the hazelnut in my husband's latte. I loved that they served the lattes in glass cups when you dine in. We enjoyed some of our drinks while eating our brunch and then got the rest to go. While they bring your food and drinks to your table, you're expected to bus your own tables after you finish your meal, which was fine with us, as it streamlines the tasks for the workers. We rarely have brunch, but this place was delicious, and we will definitely be back to try some other dishes Forever has to offer! Next time I'll also order their ube matcha, and the steak longevity noodles have caught my eye.

    Ube French Toast, 2 longinesa bowls. Rice Bowl with sausage and yum yum sauce

    Street parking only! Decent size location with seating outside and in. Lots of TVs Menu very limited Came with a party of 5 on a Monday during brunch time. You order and pay using a QR code. They ran out of steak for their burrito but had bacon so all good. Not a traditional breakfast restaurant. Leans more Asian inspired. We all got something different CHECK PIC. My bowl was perfection. I ordered it for its simplicity because a lot of their dishes had a type of pickled veg. If I could change one thing about my bowl It would be light yum yum sauce. We all got different drinks. My Vietnamese coffee was perfectly balanced and a huge size! The Ube matcha was actually so good (I dont usually like/order ube items) if I go back i would order that and my bowl again.

    Breakfast Burrito + Tumi Tea Latte
    Stephanie H.

    Order at the counter upon walking in. They have a good amount of seating and is a nice spot to have a conversation and/or get some work done. Pleasantly surprised that I actually enjoyed the breakfast burrito. I also tried the "Tumi", a tea latte. It was on the sweet side, but a nice compliment to my meal. They have self-serve utensils and water along the wall (on the same side as the windows/doors). The interior feels a more on the dimly lit side, likely due to the dark ceiling and mural.

    Overnight oats with kumquat and strawberries

    Cool Asian fusion spot to hang out. Ambience: Hip and modern with high ceilings, eye-catching wall art, and a strong Asian fusion vibe. Parking: Free street parking (1-hour limit, not enforced on Sundays or holidays), plus garage and metered street options (also free on Sundays/holidays). Restroom: Two unisex restrooms. Very clean and bright. Code required for entry. Cocktails (Chinese zodiac-themed: fun touch): * Pig - Ginger Rose Daiquiri ($15): Rum, ginger liqueur, rose, cranberry * Rabbit - Jasmine Gimlet ($15): Gin, jasmine tea, lime Food: Chicken katsu and ube/pandan cookies are standouts. Happy Hour (Mon-Sun, 3-5 PM): * $11 cocktail specials * $10 beer + well shot * $5 herbal lemonade * $5 "1987" They also rotate seasonal items: I saw options like overnight oats with chia and kumquat. What's interesting is their pricing style, lots of repeating numbers like $7.77 or $8.88. Even the table and order numbers follow the theme. I was seated at table #8 and got order #88... might be a sign to buy a lotto ticket ;)

    It's giving cute and chique. The dragon mural was 90s photo shoot vibes. At first walk-in I was in love. I thought it would be a coffee shop but it was so much more than that. Service was really quick and moved the morning line with ease. We got the 1987 and the caramel sea salt cold brew. For food I got the avocado toast and added smoked salmon. The verdict : coffee yum, and toast good . Would come back .

    Egg Sando
    Simone B.

    The food was good, especially the Ube French Toast, it was definitely the highlight of the meal. The Egg Sando was good, and the Caramel Cold Brew was a little stronger and more bitter than I prefer, so we asked for extra sweetener. My only complaint is the service model. Guests seat themselves, order online, get their own water and place settings, and are prompted to leave a tip before receiving any service. Personally, I enjoy having a little more table service when I dine out, so I found myself wondering what I was tipping for since the staff mainly brought the food to the table. Overall, the food was good, and I'd return for the Ube French Toast.

    Custard French toast
    Christine L.

    Came here excited to try the Ube Latte which was great but the French toast was disappointing. It begs for syrup or coconut milk. It was extremely dry and hard. Really hard to eat. Imagine a dry stuffed French toast that's dry inside and out. Wasn't good to me. The coffee was great and service was good.

    Linh N.

    I love their coffee shops so we were excited to try this spot. I was looking forward to try their custard filled French toast. Maybe in my head I thought the custard was going to be creamy and thick but it was dry and a very thin layer. Couldn't really taste it as it wasn't a creamy custard. Their breakfast sandwich was good. And I saw other dishes that looked delicious. The drinks were good. It's a beautiful place with plenty of seating indoors and out. Parking can be difficult since it's downtown.

    Herbal Lemonade
    David W.

    The vibe of 18 Grams epitomizes why people visit Midtown on a Saturday afternoon. It's a lively brunch place that suits most occasions whether it be studying alone, large-group meal, or anything else in between. It appears very lowkey from the outside -- just their restaurant logo without a clear title. However, the inside is filled with beautiful elements such as a Chinese-themed lion painting encompassing the entire wall and an abundance of plants. I dropped by for a virtual work session, and this place checked all the boxes. The booth seats are as comfortable as they are spacious. The interior looks spotless; even the restrooms left me quite impressed. Hip hop + R&B plays through the speakers at medium volume. My herbal lemonade tasted refreshing. The herbal tea infusion almost tastes like a light strawberry. This is my favorite productivity spot in Sac at the moment. You're missing out if you don't have pay it a visit!

    Chicken and Waffles
    Lisette D.

    If you're looking for a place that does brunch well, this is the spot! They have a good variety of sweet and savory items. Items we ordered were the loco moco, steak and fried rice bowl, and the chicken and waffles. Everything was fresh, full of flavor and seasoning, and I will dream about thar fried chicken. I wish I lived closer to the area, this would easily become my go to places. You order at the register then take a number and the food is brought out to you. We came on a Sunday late morning/early afternoon and the wait for the food wasn't too bad. Parking is fairly easy to find there is street parking along the road.

    Breakfast burrito with bacon
    Hannah E.

    Service was quick despite it being busy and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. They have one of my favorite ube iced lattes although it can be sweet. The breakfast burrito presentation is creative and fun to eat with some nice salsa.

    Kevin P.

    Parking is decent, and the seating is limited (it really depends on if people stay longer than needed as it's open seating concept). The interior design is very niche and the painting of the fudogs on the wall is easily a 10/10. Staffs are great folks. Shaking beef with fried rice: 2/5 the fried rice was very good but the beef was NOT ribeye. It definitely is along the line of sirloin or some sort of type of cheaper choice grade meat. The meat was not fully seasoned. Loganisa breakfast sandwich: 4.5/5 best bang for the buck, the eggs were on the well done side but that's okay, the overall compatibility was very very good. Loco moco: 1/5 the meat patty was super overcooked, it had to be cut with a knife and fork. Super random to have kimchi and arugula where it doesn't mix well. The gravy tasted out of the box.

    How long is the wait?

    For cafe beverages to go, not long. Maybe 2-3 minutes. For food, varies on how busy it is, but around 5-10 minutes. When I went with a friend and dined in during a busy Saturday. We ordered 4 food items and 2 drinks, all came around 10-12 minutes.

My to-go order is the Hornet on a Dutch crunch roll with everything on it except mustard. Make it a combo with chips and a drink, and you'll have an incredible lunch.

The chairs and tables are older and worn, and it's small inside, but it's also inside an old house that was converted into a restaurant. That alone makes this place unique. People hang out inside or outside with friends and enjoy the vibes. There's a real sense of community that the Sandwich Spot brings along with uniquely crafted sandwiches.

The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and will help you with recommendations if you're not sure which sandwich to get. It honestly feels like you're in the company of good friends.

It was definitely good, but I don't know if I'd be dying to go back when I think Ike's, Mr. Pickle's, Corti Bros, and maybe even Nugget or Sprouts make more interesting sandwiches. To me, those places use slightly higher quality ingredients as well, though maybe I just didn't order the best sandwich here. Overall, it was a good sandwich and a good experience. My expectations were probably just a little too high. I wouldn't be dying to come back but also wouldn't say no if someone wanted to go there for lunch.

The bun, however, was enormous, so the overall experience was like eating a fluffy bread pillow with a whisper of sandwich somewhere in the middle. Honestly, the sandwich felt a bit like a mime, the idea of a sandwich was there, but the substance was invisible. I even wondered if maybe the fillings weren't hungry themselves.

Service is as fast as it can be during lunch hour rush, and I haven't been disappointed yet with my orders. The workers have always been helpful and answered any questions about the menu or even helped with recommendations. The ambiance isn't anything special. It's like most sandwich spots with tables, chairs and a restroom for customers. You're probably not pulling out your laptop to do any work or catch a vibe there unless listening to music and sending emails in a sandwich restaurant is your thing. My go-to order is the Amuna's Tuna on Dutch crunch with everything on it except jalapeños. If you're feeling a little lucky, you can get a combo meal with chips and a drink. They also sell big cookies. You also get a nice caramel apple sucker candy with your order. Like most restaurants these days, and especially restaurants in midtown, you're looking at $15-$20 for a sandwich and combo. It's pricey.

    I'm likely in the minority in my opinion, but bear with me. I'm torn between a 3 and a 4, and…read moresticking with a 3 because this shop just didn't measure up ... to me. For starters, Ike's has its own way of doing things: plain mayo is not their thing. Only way to get plain mayo on a sandwich is to get lucky that there's a smidgen still left in a jar in the fridge after they prepare their house spread. They mix GARLIC and gawd knows what else for spices to make their Ike's sauce, so allergies beware. They offer plain mustard, but not plain mayo? For seconds, the sandwich bread is not up to the challenge of holding together the mountain of fillings inside. Pics prove my point. I want to eat a sandwich with my hands, not a plastic fork (or a shovel). And I don't want to wear it, not in public. Proportions, people! One size does not fit all. Now, in fairness, the meat, cheese, lettuce and tomato were fresh, chilled, and flavorful. However, IMHO $2.00+ to add equivalent of half an avocado is robbery when a whole avocado is $1 in the market. Fortunately I arrived when there wasn't another person in the store so I was able order up a plain ham and cheese sub with L, T, and A. The counter person was patient as I attempted to navigate the menu board. I communicated my wish for a simple sandwich and it arrived, albeit ridiculously overstuffed and above my budget expectations. Props for kindness and understanding. My first visit to any shop is always testing how well they do basics. So far, I'm not an Ike's fan. I'm no newcomer to sub sandwiches. At 82, and being a Massachusetts native, I've been a sub girl for at least 75 years, ever since I could wrap my fingers around the perfect sub roll. For more adventurous sandwich people, go for broke! This is your place!
