    First time here. Ordered: -White Chocolate Mocha. Big and foamy top. -Pirogi. Very new to me and so delicious with the sauce. -Breakfast burrito. Nice and filling, with very mild(in a good way) salsa sauce dip. The interior alone was very cute and has original antique things which always attract me, compared to the usual cafes with a fake vibe. Yolanta is sweet and welcoming. It got really busy around 12, but she took down orders and many guests seemed like regulars. Will come again soon!

    We love coming here for coffee and food. This weekend was super hot and my friend and I wanted to meet for coffee and decided to go to heartbeat since it's between our homes. The owner is always so kind and friendly. I had an iced mocha and my friend had this salad. The salad was gorgeous. They have inside and outside dining and a variety of prepared or food freshly made food, drinks, desserts, and fun little retail items. I highly recommend this place. Parking is never a problem and it is super peaceful.

    BIG Shout out to the Heartbeat Café! I swung by this place a few months ago without my wallet while juggling daddy duty and in a rush to squeeze in a lunch with my toddler before nap time. Living in Silicon Valley I just assume all places have Apple Pay however I didn't make the realization that this beautifully unique little nook did not have Apple Pay. The owner led with compassion and made my daughter and my lunch and allowed me to come back later to pay with a credit card. Fast-forward a few months, and I swung by with my mom who is visiting from the East Coast. We made our order and as I went for my wallet, the owner asked if I would like to use Apple Pay. To my elation, she had taken our conversation to Hart and got Apple Pay soon thereafter for her business. Amazing food... Phenomenal people!

    Stingy portions of bad food at high prices. Slow service. An interior that's so baking hot you can't tolerate it. Needless to say I did not enjoy this terrible place. I tried their breakfast burrito with bacon, the smoked salmon bagel, and a double latte. The breakfast burrito was microwaved gas station quality. Served with jarred salsa. It was so bad. Really disgusting. The bagel, for $12, had barely any toppings. Look how stingy that is. $12 for $2 of food, nice markup for barely any work. The latte tasted of milk. No discernible coffee flavor. Overall, well, the roses in the little courtyard outside are nice. But I would never come back for food or drinks.

    I grabbed a vanilla iced coffee while on my break and it was amazing! Super cute and peaceful environment with kind employees. Will come here again!

    I highly recommend going to the Heartbeat Café - been there several times their coffee is excellent and Service is superb. The pastries pastries are awesome. So far I have tried the lemon bars, scones, we did henemans bread, and crepes. I usually stop in on Saturdays. They have a real nice outside and inside seating area which is great for groups of people too.

    Super cute mom and pop cafe with character! The food was surprisingly tasty. We got the breakfast burrito and the Turkey avocado pesto crepe that comes with house marinara sauce which is really yummy. The breakfast burrito was also really solid. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. Quite a bit of tables outside for you to dine and enjoy a nice day out. If you come on Saturdays there's the Cambrian farmers market in the parking lot for some fresh produce. Plenty of parking here as the plaza is pretty big.

    I met a friend here for lunch. They have outdoor seating which is appreciated in these times. It was a little chilly but the sun was out which was nice. It appears to be family owned and the lady who took our order and served us was super nice. I got the ricotta and spinach crepe and the Italian Wedding soup. The soup was good and hearty. Not a big fan of the crepe though, it was unlike anything I have had and not in a good way. Rounding the rating given that this is a small business.

    Came for a coffee and enjoyed every sip of it. The owner was amicable and quick service. Lots of pastries to choose from and all around very affordable. The chai latte was absolutely delicious. The ambiance is fantastic inside and out, and the outdoor seating has shaded umbrellas! Ample parking and easy to find.

    The HeartBeat Cafe is such a cute cafe! It is a hidden cafe in the Cambrian Plaza. It truly is a gem and you must try it! All of the food and drinks are super yummy! The entire cafe has a great atmosphere and has the cutest decorations. When you order, your food comes out very fast! I highly recommend!!

    I went to this spot with a friend back in January. It was freezing inside! Not sure if their heater was busted, but it definitely wasn't cozy. We grabbed two coffees, a bagel with smoked salmon, and a crepe. Can't recall the exact flavor of the crepe, but it had spinach. Bagel was alright, but the crepe was seriously lacking flavor. Oh, and a little more friendliness from the servers wouldn't hurt!

    What an unexpectedly delightful place! I pass the shopping center fairly often, and I have never seen this place as it is in the far corner away from the main road. It is surrounded by beautiful flowers and greenery, and tucked away in the cutest little spot. Inside the decor is that of an old-fashioned tea house/candy shop. The lady that works there was super friendly. I ordered over the phone and my order took about a half hour, but thankfully I was not in a rush. I would definitely go back to try their breakfast crêpes as I did not see them listed on the menu before I arrived. So happy to find such a cute local spot since I am new to the area! One thing I would like to know, is if the crêpes are gluten or dairy free or can be made as such.

I'm sure they were rushing to get everyone out of the store so that they could go home. Totally get it! Staff were very sweet, and the shop itself is very cute and cozy. Perfect place for hanging out! The rating mainly goes for the drinks itself...I had ordered the vanilla bean latte and my sister had gotten the matcha. We were both pretty disappointed with the drinks, as the latte barely tasted of coffee or vanilla for that matter. Just tasted like warm milk with a hint of coffee. The matcha was very bitter, no sweetness at all, and had some sort of cream foam on top, which tasted salty. My sister and I ended up throwing out our drinks later. Again, staff were SO sweet!! They handled the rush of last minute customers as well as they could. But for the price we paid for our drinks, we expected something a bit better.

The communication with the staff felt confusing and unprofessional. At first, I was directly told that they do not speak Russian, so I immediately switched to English. But shortly after, I clearly heard the same staff speaking Russian among themselves. On top of that, I also noticed them speaking Russian with other guests, while I was told they "don't speak Russian" when interacting with me. This was very confusing and honestly felt strange and selective. This kind of inconsistency creates a very uncomfortable impression and feels disrespectful as a customer. I also know many people who no longer come to this café because of the rude and unwelcoming attitude of the staff. Unfortunately, I now feel the same. I will not be returning. The food is excellent, but the service completely ruins the overall experience.
