I tried the Rose Cardamom Coffee, and a morning bun, it was outstanding! The flavors were perfectly balanced in my coffee, with neither the rose nor the cardamom overpowering the other. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, so it can get a bit loud from all the conversation. If you're looking for a quiet place to work or study, you may want to bring earplugs or headphones. The service was phenomenal; friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, I had a great experience and would happily return. In my humble opinion, this place is a gem!

I had a nice interaction with the Asian kid with blonde hair and the other boy that was working, the service was quick! Until recently, been coming in for the past month, I didn't expect things to change so drastically in terms of customer service. I normally do not critic nor do I use yelp to write reviews but I am leaving this here. My recent visits have been terrible, especially on the weekend. The wait is not the issue nor is the coffee. It's the service now, the white woman is insanely rude. I understand the frustration of working and the use of a "customer service" voice, she is just insanely passive aggressive. Her fake attitude doesn't make things better. Saw the doordashers comment and I was there when he had his issue. The white woman didn't put in his order and the same Asian kid was there. He is usually friendly but from what I've seen that day, the white woman made him have a reaction to the situation. She used her passive aggressiveness and even yelled at the doordasher to sit down and wait. I am only speaking up now because of my most recent visits. She is the reason why I won't be coming back here.

We did have a bit of a wait before our server came by, so we asked a few staff members for assistance. A gentleman named Daniel stepped in, went to find our server, and when he couldn't locate them, he kindly took our order himself. Daniel checked on us several times throughout breakfast and gave truly excellent service. The food also came out pretty quickly, and the French toast was amazing as always. Huge thank you again to Daniel for helping make our breakfast date such a pleasant start to the day!

Love the creative drinks & food offered - from presentations and platings to quality of food, they were phenomenal. My friend treated me to a lunch there. We had their Benedict's and also tried their Belgian syphon coffee which gives a good two cups of nice, smooth, aromatic and well balanced coffee. (Apparently they use Peet's beans). I will be back again to try out their dinner menu and dessert next time.

Update: Great Food, Service Needs growing up…read more Soho Modern Japanese has been on my rotation since they opened and the food remains consistently good - but the service culture has shifted. Secret Cocktail I already experienced an off-menu drink denial which comes with a velvet rope. Closing Time We arrived at 2 PM and the hostess reminded us - repeatedly -that they close at 2:30, as if daring us to leave. We stayed, got seated at the bar to "eat faster," and watched staff behind the counter help themselves to coffee and fill personal water bottles and chat amongst themselves for that half hour between 2-2:30. Bottom Line The kitchen earns every star. The front-of-house needs to catch up.

Passed by Skillet'z in Niles and randomly stopped in for brunch--so glad I did!…read moreEverything we ordered was actually really good and hit the spot. The Bravo omelet was super soft and fluffy, loaded with mushrooms, tomatoes, avocado, and bacon--really fresh and not heavy at all. The New York steak sandwich was super satisfying, with big chunky pieces of steak and avocado that made it extra good. And the coulotte steak was cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and just really well done overall. Definitely a great little brunch spot if you're in the area.

We were looking for a family friendly brunch experience before hitting up the Niles Farmer's Market…read moreand found Skillet'z Cafe just around the corner. Luckily there was no line at 8:30 in the morning on a Saturday. Rating Breakdown: 1/2 Stars for Taste -- The menu is HUGE and it was difficult to pick just one thing to order. I ended up choosing the Tio Pancho because I can never resist biscuits and gravy. The scramble itself was good, I'm a big fan of their chorizo as it's not overpoweringly sour/tangy like some other places. It was also mild enough that my kids were able to try a little. I opted for the hash browns which added a nice crispiness into the mix. I would actually skip the biscuits and gravy next time -- the biscuits are on the cake-y side and the gravy is a bit bland. My husband ordered the Mexican chicken fried steak. The steak itself was also bland, but it was fine paired with the chorizo and sauce on top. Their hashbrowns are crispy on the outside but made thick with a more mushy inside, not our favorite. My husband's sunny side eggs were also a bit underdone, the egg whites were still runny. We were both fans of the salsa that came on the side. For the kiddos, we got one pancake. We're glad we only got one because it was literally the same size as the dinner plate it came on. It was super fluffy and thiccccc, just how I love it. It was also not too sweet by itself so I felt less bad about giving it to the kiddos. I would say the dishes are served "rustic", it's not the most instagrammable if that matters to you, but it is a mountain of food and a veritable feast. 1/1 Stars for Value -- It's about $20 per entree and the serving sizes are humongous. Definitely enough to share or take home as leftovers. Coffee was $4 but it was actually good coffee, not the watery stuff diners sometimes serve. It only cost $3.95 to upgrade the side of toast to a pancake, which is a steal...I mean, why wouldn't you do it? 1/1 Stars for Customer Service -- The food came out unbelievably quickly. We literally said "That can't be it" when we saw them bringing it over. This place is optimized for efficiency -- everything from seating, serving, coffee refills, to bringing the bill was streamlined yet not rushed. Bonus star because we would come back when we are craving brunch. We would come early to avoid the lines.

I'm a big country gravy guy and always felt like their gravy was special. I found out today that their gravy is homemade, which explained why it tasted so good. Add that stuff on anything and it will be delicious. Gravy love, aside, there menu is pretty expansive but not overwhelming. You'll get your usual stuff like pancakes, waffles, Benedicts, omlette, and. scrambles. They cover a lot of items and I'll definitely be back to try more, especially their crab cake Benedict and patty melt. I'm particularly mad that I forgot my server's name, I do remember she had teal streaks in her hair. She was probably one of the nicest servers I have ever met. She was helpful with explaining the menu, made sure we were good on condiments and refills, and was the perfect amount of fun and professionalism. Breakfast spots but seem like a dime a dozen but in this economy, you gotta set yourself apart from the rest and this place definitely does just that with their food and service.

I've come here twice and both times were a different experience…read more The first time I came here with a few friends, we didn't have any issues. We didn't wait that long, maybe 10 minutes? It was also memorial Day weekend. And our server was really nice and food came out pretty quick. The second time I came here, my experience was completely different. We were put on the wait list which was almost a 30-minute wait. It was pretty busy that day, Sunday around brunch. We were seated in a table where one side is a booth and the other side is a chair, but you can tell that they just wanted to cram as many tables as they could in the restaurant. The spacing in between the tables to our sides was so small, we had to physically move our table just to get in and out of the booth. And we did the same thing when other tables were getting out of the booth. It was also really loud in there. We didn't really like it since we were there to have a nice, chill brunch. We could barely hear each other talking. The service was really slow and it was hard to flag down our server. The food was good and reasonably priced, but the space and ambiance wasn't what we hoped it would be. Another downside is the parking lot. There are so many shops in one small plaza, they didn't plan enough parking spaces for customers. We noticed people having to park in the plaza next door, which I wasn't sure if we were allowed to do. So we just had to drive around the plaza and find whatever spot we could. After being there twice, I don't think I would eat at the restaurant again. I would maybe order to go, but since we don't live in the area it's not likely we would drive all the way there to pick up food.

The inside is nice, not as large as I thought it would be but still plenty of tables. We were seated right away even on a busy Sunday morning. We ordered French toast, biscuits and gravy, and chicken fried steak. Order didn't take too long. The biscuits and gravy was disappointing. Seems like Hawaiian rolls instead of biscuits. Super soft, broke apart easy. The gravy was a bit salty, and not much meat, looks like bacon instead of sausage. French toast was delicious, nicely caramelized on the outside, not too soaked in the egg mixture. I asked for strawberries and cream but got strawberries and whipped butter with it. Not too angry still tasted good. The chicken fried steak was good, huge plate, huge serving. Overall the experience was good, service was good, they came to refill our coffee too.

The food came in what felt like a few minutes after we ordered and everything was hot and comforting. I ordered the country fried steak which comes with toast, potatoes and eggs your way. The gravy was so smooth and done well, the potatoes are sweetened which was interesting. The only reason this wasn't a 5 star for me was the country fried steak wasn't the tastiest, it was okay but the best that I've had in terms of texture and seasoning. I am very opened to returning to try their omelette. Portions are big here.

step foot in country way and you'll have your patriotism (or any remainder of it after the past…read moreyear) tested. it reeks of cigarettes and buttcheeks and the dishes presented look like all american slop. does it taste good? no! but in some ways you'll rediscover your love of america right in this little establishment. it's the place of memories, whether you want to reminisce or create new ones. this is the place you go when you're hungover, or when you're a broke teenager looking for a place to loiter with your massive friend group (there's only two girls, you have a crush on one of them, she's probably gay), or when you come back from a trip abroad in a country that does not have enough grease in their local cooking. you come to celebrate your 95 year old grandma's birthday (by the way she doesn't remember your name), and to go out with your football team (apparently your team has done well this season; coach naively offers to treat, so everyone except coach orders three dishes each and complains of hunger an hour after eating), and to meet up with random friends of your parents (you didn't even know they existed, and they spend an hour commenting on the following: your height, love life, and college applications). either way you want some cheap, easy, horrible food. you choke down your dish that's got oil puddles on the side and mysterious radioactive sauces because the portions are huge and binge eating is nigh. you save half, or a quarter, or maybe none of your dish for later, knowing that you will most definitely forget about the leftovers and trash them when they turn moldy. this is a true diner - arguably one of the most waffle house-esque establishments in fremont, and thus a quintessential american experience. you have to live it to understand it all: the questionably quick service, the servers stacking full plates on one arm, the pile of smuckers jam on every table, the chattering in multiple languages, and most importantly the trashy food. so would i encourage you to come here? ideally not at all! you will be disappointed beyond measure. but if you're like me and disillusioned with your american-ness you can come here and renew your patriotism. 3 stars for the experience.

A staff member greeted me when I came in and let me know I could order at the cash register when I was ready. I ordered a large frozen caramel latte and they made it immediately. It was delicious -- if you like sweet drinks, you will not be disappointed. It was actually almost too sweet for me, and I'm the type to ask for extra caramel in my caramel lattes. The drink was well blended and the large size is 24 oz, so good portion there. The paper menu needs to be updated though, because it listed the drink price as $6.15 but I was charged $6.50. In addition to frozen (frappe) coffee drinks, they have fruit freeze drinks and juices. I was there at lunchtime during a weekday and there were people dining in. The crepes smelled really good, I'll have to come back and try them. They have a nice shaded outdoor dining area.

I was personally craving something more savory, so I got a tuna sandwich. Wasn't bad, but definitely wish I got a crepe as they all looked good! They do have both sweet crepes and savory crepes. Good for large and small groups. Good for kids. Plenty of parking via a shared parking lot with other businesses.

Best breakfast in Fremont!…read more After driving past multiple times, we decided to try out the last breakfast restaurant we haven't tried in Fremont and it did not disappoint. We were seated immediately and the staff were extremely nice. The Dinos country fried steak special was delicious and full of flavor. It wasn't anywhere near as salty as I expected with the bacon and country fried steak and cheese in it. They put the perfect amount of butter on the toast that guarantees a happy food dance. When you ask for crispy bacon, you get CRISPY BACON. We have not had any that gets it as crispy and perfect. When you order anything with fruit, it's an actual array of fruit and not like 4 pieces of melon and 1 strawberry. Our waitress was extremely helpful with all our questions and very kind. The rest of the staff were very present and easy to flag over for any questions or requests. Our drinks were constantly being filled and plates were being cleared very swiftly. If you order anything to go or as a side to your meal, please try the blue cheese dressing. It's made in house and was so good we had to ask for some to go. I can't wait to go back. So delicious!!
