I ordered a matcha, lightly sweetened, and a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. The biscuit was perfect; not greasy and the perfect texture. I love their pickled zucchini which adds the perfect little crunch. Their garden patio is so cute and would be a great space for an event. I can't wait to come back again soon.

I found this sweet gem on Yelp while looking for a coffee spot while visiting Troy for the first time. WHAT A FIND. I absolutely love all the outdoor possibilities you have. From working/dining out front by the street with plenty of tables, chairs and just a chill little vibe if you want the street action mixed with a bit of people watching and enjoying the outdoors. If you're like me today, I chose the backyard solarium area to get some work done and grab a bite. It's so ZEN and I'm just obsessed with the plants and just the whole relaxing atmosphere. WHAT A FIND. Perfect place to grab lunch, catch up with a friend, do a work meeting, coffee date, really anything!

I've been wanting to try the vegan sandwich options at Mallos for a long time. We tried both - the…read moreeggplant and the cauliflower Reuben. Both were good. The Reuben was a little too unidimensional for my taste, because the cauliflower is fermented I think there isn't enough contrast with the sauerkraut which is really the only other ingredient. the flavor was great but the texture wasn't my favorite. The eggplant itself was amazing! I loved it. But again I think the composition of the sandwich was a little off for my taste, there was a pile of arugula that overpowered the eggplant which was star but a very small portion of the sandwich. The homemade chips were the best I've ever had and YOU SHOULD TRY!!!! Phenomenally crisp and cooked to perfection. Overall, I don't think I'd come back often because there arent a ton of vegan options and I was enthralled by them but if I was in a group with meat eaters and they wanted sandwiches I would happily tag along and get one of these options again.

I hopped on Yelp, saw the great reviews, took 1 minute to browse the menu, and I turned around and walked right in to Mallo's. The space is pink with black and white checkered floor. I was greeted as I walked in and they were patient while I read the menu (again). Everything sounded great but I went with the veggie sandwich but made into a wrap. They brought my food out to me on a little tray with a paper branded with the same cute dog. I loved the wrap! I'm glad I went the wrap route - it was perfect. Mozzarella, arugula, fried eggplant, olives - yummm. It was so delicious and flavorful and a big portion! I took leftovers back to my hotel and had them the next day. I'm so glad I stopped in to this spot and would definitely come back for more of their tasty food.

I am not surprised that this restaurant has started getting with the cheap trend of saving and cutting corners. They could have stayed smart and just jacked up the price, rather than compromising on the bread size. Now the customer pays more for less food. Let's get it 2026.
