The space is bright, impeccably clean, and welcoming, and the staff is incredibly friendly and efficient, even when they are busy. The food is simply next level, balancing beautiful presentation with outstanding flavors: * Gourmet Toasts: The Avocado Smash and the PB Crunch toasts are absolute must-tries. You can taste the high quality of the ingredients, and the thick-cut artisan bread provides the perfect crispy-yet-chewy base for the generous toppings. * Smoothie Bowls & Juices: The açaí bowls are refreshing, perfectly textured, and loaded with fresh fruit and crunchy granola. Their cold-pressed juices are crisp, vibrant, and perfect for a quick energy boost. * Coffee & Vibe: Their coffee and espresso drinks are fantastic, making this the ideal spot for a quick morning pick-me-up, a post-workout refuel, or a relaxed weekend brunch with friends. Everything on the menu feels crafted with care and premium ingredients. It is absolutely worth every penny for the quality you get. I cannot recommend this place enough!

**Disappointing Experience at This Location**…read more I normally enjoy Toastique, although I've noticed this particular location isn't nearly as friendly or welcoming as other Toastique locations I've visited. Recently, I ordered my usual Salmon Toast and was disappointed to discover that the cucumbers were clearly not fresh. When I lifted the salmon and greens to cut into the toast, the cucumber slices were almost transparent and looked anything but fresh. I brought it back and explained that I was happy to have it remade, but if they didn't have fresh cucumbers, I would prefer a refund. They ultimately remade the toast without cucumbers. Before leaving, I checked my bag and noticed there were NO cucumbers. When I asked why there were no cucumbers, there really wasn't an explanation. Apparently, someone eventually found some fresh, crispy cucumber slices and put them in a small to-go container for me to add to my **$16 single slice of toast myself.** That just felt like an odd way to resolve the issue. Another frustration is that this location never asks or reminds me about the Toastique rewards program. I visit fairly often because this location is in my neighborhood, yet I didn't even know they had a rewards program until I visited another Toastique location and was asked about it. Had I known, I could have accumulated quite a few rewards by now. I still enjoy Toastique, but this location could definitely improve when it comes to friendliness, attention to detail, and making customers aware of the rewards program.

Parking wasn't ideal, the nearby parking garage was very compact and difficult to maneuver. There is some street parking in front, but it was all taken when we visited. I ordered the Lavender Matcha Latte along with some desserts and ice cream. All items came out quickly and just as ordered. I don't have a bad thing to say about the menu. There is plenty of seating inside, making it a great option for dessert with large groups. We had 7 adults and 2 kids with no issues finding seating during our visit. The staff were kind enough to make conversation with my toddler. I appreciated their patience as I encouraged him to order for himself at the counter. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely come back if I am ever back in the area again :)

The Pistachio Latte looked good so we got one hot, one iced so we could share & try the two variations. We asked for almond milk in the lattes. Fitting: pistachios & almonds together. Both were really good. Can really taste the pistachio flavour after stirring the latte. We'll keep Qaffee House in mind whenever we're in the area. Side note: I found their logo quite clever artistically. It made sense after I looked at the name "Qaffee House" and back to logo. The cup is the Latin letter "q" and the symbol with the two dots is the Arabic equivalent to "q", the Qaf (ق). And this leads to Arabic word for coffee: "qahwa". Nicely done blend of languages.

My partner got one of the chocolate cakes. His was a good choice, which he really enjoyed. My almond croissant had very little almond paste (a teaspoon or less in a large, very dry cardboardy croissant) - in France it would have been sold as yesterday's bread. I could not drive back 45 minutes to show them (they close at 8 pm). But don't sell old breads in the evening. A large amount of almond cream might have kept it moist - but the tiny amount helped keep it dry. Selling what I bought - is SOOO wrong in so many ways.

It's a smallish space and indoor seating was really full at 11 AM on a weekday. Because of rain, the outdoor benches were not in use, and I saw closed-up patio-umbrellas too. I ordered from a kiosk or you could order online or in person. I got the bacon egg and cheese croissant and it was made quickly by welcoming staff. It was a regular size croissant with very light cheese and a layer of crispy bacon pieces in a well toasted croissant. The flavor was good. This café also sells a number of beverages, including fresh ground espresso, and various teas And they sell some bakery goods, candies, and quite a variety of dry-packaged teas and coffee. The parking right in front Café Jun can get pretty full, but there's plenty parking in the rest of the shopping center.

The larger shopping area has a diner 3-strip mall sections, one of which is called Princess Shopping Center, so I'm a little confused which mall-name covers which shops.

People do seem to respect the 90MIN seating window though so you should be able to find a seat. You order and pay at the counter first and then they give you a table number card. This is how they find you to serve your food. I ordered a regular matcha latte, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on croissant bread and their famous croffle. I loved their matcha latte. It's pre-sweetened so no need to add extra vanilla syrup or anything. This does not taste like a traditional matcha, which in my opinion tastes like dirt. This is a sweeter, dessert like matcha. I didn't care for the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was kind of dry and it tasted like something was missing. The croffle was amazing. It has a nutty, pecan like taste to it and it was topped with vanilla gelato and blueberries. I couldn't really taste the maple syrup but it was delicious nonetheless.

It took a while for the flight to be prepared because I think they're a little bit shortstaffed on a Monday morning, but they had a lot of comfortable places to sit and wait. The corn beef sandwich came out good and I mentioned it was simple because it's literally just corn beef with some white bread and some cheese, but it was actually pretty tasty for breakfast. The coffee flight came out and it's on a large paddle and it looked really delicious. I have to say the regular flavored lattes and the croissant weren't my favorite choices, but as I started moving down the paddleboard towards flavored lattes and the Blondi bar, it was pretty good. My favorite latte was the butter beer and my favorite pastry actually turned out to be the Blondie brownie bar. The inside has enough seating for about 50 people and it's really cutely decorated. I highly recommend stopping in if you're in the mood for a coffee after a day of shopping in Ellicott city.

There were 6 of us, and they were able to put two tables together to accommodate us. I was overall disappointed with the food. The waffle which I paid $5 for was super small and there were just chunks of sugar in it. I also ordered scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese. The spinach came out on the side of the eggs and was uncooked. The cheese was not melted, and the eggs were burnt (dark brown and dry). The waitress was kind enough to take the eggs back for the cheese and spinach to be mixed/melted. They were still burnt and flavorless. I picked around and ate what I could. I also ordered some kind of spinach and feta pastry from the front case, which was good. We also all enjoyed the homefries which were crispy with a unique seasoning. We ordered the stuffed french toast which had a great flavor, but it wasn't really stuffed, there were just toppings on it. My nephew ordered the chicken and waffles. He's 15. I'm guessing that waitress assumed he was a kid and gave him the kids portion. Either way, the fried chicken looked like two pieces of frozen chicken schnitzel. My mother ordered the Reuben and did not like it at all because it lacked flavor.
