I bought a "pothead" hat to take back home, I love it. I got the bourbon maple latte with oat milk. I always forget that I don't love bourbon flavoring in my coffee, but it was still good. The other two in my party loved their drinks. The atmosphere was friendly and also nice for a workspace. Also cute merch!

Came for brunch and didn't have a great time…read more The positives were short: the bread for the sandwiches was decently tasty and the bathroom was well maintained and outfitted The negatives: -they didn't have any potatoes ready for the day so all dishes that included potatoes needed to be ordered without them as the potatoes wouldn't be ready for another hour. This effectively cut the menu in half -Waters were never refilled or offered to be the entire two hours we were here -hot sandwiches were almost all served cold and the egg was overcooked on one of them -Chicken Caesar Wrap was tiny and so was the breakfast burrito. Like tiny tiny -Food and service took a very long time (two hours from sitting down to receiving check) and the place was nearly empty when we sat down and ordered -The wrong menu item was brought out for one of our friends who dined with us -an ordered side of hot sauce came nearly an hour after the initial food was brought out -the large and small drinks were volumetrically the same despite a difference in price -things kept getting burned in the kitchen and the ventilation didn't seem to be working so the whole dining area was smoky Overall it felt like the restaurant was way more focused on aesthetics and instagramability than quality of the actual food. Which is possibly why the majority of the images available on the internet are of the restaurant itself and not the food they serve The pricing wasn't great either. overall not an experience we intend to try again

Hey y'all! Now, who doesn't like donuts?…read more I saw this place and just had to give it a try. Freshly made donuts with bacon on top? Come on now... you already know I had to order one! We ended up trying the Bacon in the Sun, French Toast, PB&J, Strawberry Confetti (because my daughter loves herself a pink donut ), and of course, you can never go wrong with a good old-fashioned glazed donut. Let me tell you, these donuts were a lovely, fresh treat! Soft, flavorful, and made to order. Each one had its own unique twist, and it was so much fun trying all the different flavors. The Bacon in the Sun was the perfect mix of sweet and savory, while the French Toast tasted just like breakfast in donut form. And the Strawberry Confetti definitely got my daughter's stamp of approval! If you're a donut lover or just looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, this spot is definitely worth checking out. Life's too short to skip dessert... especially when it's a fresh donut!

I was very hopeful that the pastries would be good, as this bakery received a lot of rave reviews…read moreand seems to be a small business, but I was disappointed with the quality. * Napoleone - VERY stale and smelled like an old building. It tasted like it had been sitting in a display case for days * Chocolate cannoli - best pastry I received. Super good! * Lobster tail - hard and half filled with cream * Strawberry cream puff - pastry itself was stale, strawberries were good. * Eclair - texture was fine, but it didn't have much flavor It may have been that I ordered them early in the afternoon, but the stale pastries tasted like they'd been left out for days. If you do visit, I highly recommend ordering their cannolis.

My coworkers and I were in Allentown for some meetings and booked a reservation here for dinner…read more Everyone was very impressed! We walked in and even though it was busy we were taken to our reserved table immediately. The place is big with nice decor and ambiance, and the tables are spaced out enough that it keeps the area around you quiet enough to be able to hold a conversation comfortably with the people at your table. Our server was with us quickly and took our drink orders. All of the cocktails were delicious and several of us got a second round! We got the bao buns, chicken skewers, and birria poutine to start and they were all extremely delicious. The poutine tasted more like molé though so I personally wouldn't call it birria, and the cheese was a molten cheddar-like kind and not cheese curds. It was delicious though so no one complained! I got the curry and subbed tofu for shrimp. It was a little bland and I honestly wish there would've been a bit more of the curry itself (there was so much rice) and some more salt/seasoning, but it was fine. I'd give it a 7.5/10. My coworkers all enjoyed their own dishes (especially the rigatoni) and they kept raving about them throughout the whole meal. Our server was attentive and kept the table clean and our water bottles topped up. I definitely recommend checking it out! We're keeping it i. our list for next time we're in town :)

We also enjoyed delicious cocktails that paired perfectly with our meal. For our main course, we shared the paella, which was flavorful, well seasoned, and generously portioned.

It's the kind of place that's perfect for catching up with friends over great food and drinks, and I'd happily return.
