The baked goods I've tried have been really good! The Ham and Cheese Croissant was FIRE! The strawberry and blueberry scone was also really good. I liked that it wasn't dry. The coffee here is okay. I appreciate their creative menu and rotating specials. My friend ordered the mocha, and it was 50% foam and 50% drink. Overall, I think the food is their strong suit compared to the coffee.

SERVICE: The girl who helped me first seemed pretty ... disinterested - but the second guy who helped me was nice! Overall, it's a snazzy place but really look at the reviews to prevent from ordering the wrong thing!

It does everything…read moreright and it made me want to return immediately to enjoy its hospitality as soon as I had left. I went with a group of friends that, unexpectedly, increased by one at the last minute and they handled the addition with grace and kindness, relieving my anxiety about the inconvenience. It ended up being the best tea house experience I'd had in quite a while. Almost all of the items on their menu are made in-house, including the finger sandwiches, which are made fresh each morning so they don't get soggy. The menu is thoughtful and interesting, containing all the items you expect for an afternoon tea, without being boring or trite. This included a house-made, crescent-shaped, lavender-infused cookie that was a lovely shade of purple. I don't normally enjoy lavender-flavored things, but this one had just the right balance and texture and I loved it. I also enjoyed the "I Hate Kale" salad, which was both cheeky and delicious. I was prepared to not enjoy it, but I finished it all. I can imagine it's not to everyone's taste, but it was unique and tasty. The scones were spot-on. I had the Earl Grey & Lemon and had the chance to taste another person's strawberry and white chocolate one, both were delicious and had great texture. The accompanying jam and clotted cream were fantastic. Everyone chose a different tea from a wide selection and they were all great. No one was unhappy with their choice and most shared theirs with others to try! I liked all of the sandwiches, even the ones I didn't expect to like, such as the chicken curry. Among us we tried all the varieties and all were a hit. As a group, we ended up ordering several of the Tea for two selections, which the hostess/owner helpfully pointed out was more economical than each person choosing the individual Half Moon Tea. A few people ended up also ordering additional scones, a la carte, to take home. The owner was there and talked to us a good bit about the shop, answering the many questions with ease, enthusiasm and patience, Our server was the same, taking requests in stride, even from the more difficult among us. We never had to go searching for him and he was on top of everything. The location itself is like another character in the shop's story, being adorably painted on the outside and incredibly decorated on the inside, with a story behind much of the decor. I don't often tell people that they can't miss going to the restroom at a dining spot, but you simply must here because it's fabulous! I loved our experience here and look forward to returning soon, bringing more tea-loving friends to enjoy its charms!

The interior is beautifully decorated with a genuine antique feel--it really adds to the magic. The menu offered so many tempting choices, but we went with the tea for two and also ordered the kids' version for the girls. Everything was delicious. I especially loved the ham and cheese, cucumber, and roast beef sandwiches. The scones were wonderful, and the fruit and quiche were just as lovely to look at as they were to eat. We had such a memorable time and I can't wait to come back again with my daughter!

I always get a vanilla oat latte so be warned that I really have not tried any other drinks and this review is centered around that and that alone. Absolutely phenomenal. The coffee is smooth, not a hint of bitterness and great great ratio of espresso and steamed milk and vanilla. I despise when lattes taste more vanilla than coffee or more oat milk than espresso. Dawn patrol does a great job of putting out a mean latte that warms you up in the cold half moon bay weather. I highly recommend dropping by if in the area and grabbing some coffee!

I got a cold brew and a hummus and olive salad here. Coffee was good, but I was not a fan of the salad. The hummus made the greens wilted, otherwise the rest of the dish would have been fine.

I love a place that says "drip coffee--small medium or large." And the best part? It's not over $4. No joke. You can't get better than that. They also have savory things in a case on the far left. Seating inside is awesome on burnished little wood tables and there's a large circular room in the back with red curtain. Fancy. Original artwork by local artists ... it's everything to love here.

My wife and I ate here for breakfast yesterday. The food was good, but there was a problem with…read morethe rear door that was allowing cold outside air to blow right at our table. Everything was find at first and then they started seating people outside. The door was wide open to allow people to come and go. However, it was very cold outside and our table was near that door. We asked the staff to keep the door closed and they closed it most of the way, but blocked it open with a door stop. This still allowed a cold breeze to come right at our table. My wife's food got cold and she was feeling cold. The staff said that they could do nothing as the door automatically locks. The door was a standard push bar to open. These doors have a mechanism that can be used to unlock the door; however the staff either did not know how their door worked or were unwilling to even try to unlock it. So we were cold and ate cold food. The food itself was good. My wife enjoyed (until they got cold due to the wind) her Lumberjack pancakes with bananas and berries ($11.99) and a side of bacon ($5.99). I had a delicious side order of Linguica ($5.99) with a side of two eggs over easy ($4.99). They should really warn people before seating them by the back door on a cold day when they intend to use the outdoor tables.
