I ordered my favorite Giv drink, an iced mocha, which was perfection. I also had a waffle, an absolute must-order, and the chicken caesar wrap, which was packed with tender, juicy chicken and full of flavor. What impressed me most was how smoothly everything ran on day one. Service was exceptionally fast, especially for opening day, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside, and everything was inaccurately clean. Berlin is so lucky to have this addition to the local food scene. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

If you live in walking distance you just might find your way here every day, but there is plenty of parking if you're not around the corner. Aside bagels and spreads is a small sandwich menu, and people come and go for food deliveries. Whether on the run like I was, or stopping for coffee and the conversation, this cafe stayed calm. The lox spread was costly but quality, loaded with large hunks throughout. All bagels came toasted without us requesting, so specify if you prefer otherwise. The atmosphere is adorable, the staff kind and calm, and we can't wait to come back!

I had an iced coconut latte with a lime curd cold foam, and got my sister an iced bourbon vanilla oat milk latte, my niece an iced vanilla matcha latte with cold foam, and my mom a regular hot coffee. My sister liked her latte, my niece didn't comment on hers but drank it so I'm assuming she liked it. My latte was good, though it lacked the lime flavor in the cold foam. I also got the smoked maple corn muffin which was a little dry but the smoky maple flavor was good. I would like to come back for the brewery!

I'd like to share a disappointing experience from my visit on 4/15 at around 5:45 PM. After placing…read moremy order, the customer behind me received their drinks almost immediately. The barista then came into the lobby, closed the door, and smiled directly at me, which made me think she was returning to prepare my drinks. Instead, she picked up both tickets, looked at them, and threw them away without starting my order. She then began cleaning the machines and eventually went to the back, leaving me waiting for about 20 minutes with no update. When she returned, I asked for a refund since I needed to leave. Rather than processing it, she repeatedly insisted on making the drink, even after I clearly said I preferred a refund. She told me she would process my refund. Two days later the charge went through. The interaction felt confusing and poorly handled. I completed their survey, submitted a comment via their website, and sent them a Yelp message. None which were responded to.

Looking at the display I couldn't resist getting some beignets. I was definitely come back just for those. It was soft, fluffy, warm and delicious. Just be aware that they make them to order so there will be a 5-10 min wait.

Decided to hunt down a few different locations and this one popped up in the hunt. Location is a small space in a little plaza. Staff was friendly, recommended the strawberry donut. Price was 2 bucks a donut, so towards the higher side. Donut was fresh, dense with a heavy sugar shell and a strong artificial strawberry flavor. Not bad, but I prefer the lighter yeasty style donuts than the denser, sugar laden ones. As a local donut shop, it's good. The quality is there, but the donuts are not my style. They are good classic dunker style doughnuts though.

My BF got an iced coffee, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We grabbed an assortment of donuts to try, since it was our first time here. Their cinnamon rolls are huge, and it was nice and cinnamon-ey which I love. I also got the cruller to enjoy later. Now, to me, a cruller is nice and airy with a hint of crispness in the edges and a moist center. This was more like an old fashioned donut made into a twist, and it is probably one of the best old fashioned donut I have had ever! Nicely glazed, but that dough ... chef's kiss! We also grabbed their chocolate frosted and a Boston cream to share with our son. The employees are super nice and helpful. Only downside is they only serve coffee - iced or hot. I wish they had an espresso machine for lattes and cappuccinos. 4.5 stars!

Although I didn't buy any other products, there seemed to be a good selection and I like how things were displayed. Shchedryk is definitely worth exploring. 4 Stars
