Great Food, Vine & Customer Service!…read more I stopped in here for a quick bite with a friend before heading to an eye doctor appointment next door. I must say I really like the vibe of this place. Beeline Diner is one of diners that are retro-cool and has a neighborhood feel to it. It's very popular with the locals and folks that live around the area. I couldn't help but noticed how friendly the staff was and seemed to know their regular patrons. That's a great plus, in my book. The menu is loaded with lots of great options and your comfort food classics...including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. On this day, we tried the chicken & waffles and steak omelette. Both more delicious and was served fairly quick! The portions were great too definitely enough food to share. The check was tender, juicy and most of all.....seasoned!! lol The waffles were pretty standard on taste but I would say they fluffy and light. The steak omelette did not disappoint either. It was loaded with sirloin steak, cheese and onions! Every lift of my fork left me with bits of steak bites! My kind of meal for sure!!! The only negative about this dish is that the steak is not made to order or cooked to your preference (I.e. medium, medium rare, well done, etc.). Instead the steak it's already pre-cooked and I was told by the server that it is roughly around, medium-well. That might be okay for some, but I prefer my steak month medium side. Medium-well makes this dish and steak overcooked by the time it's delivered to you. This was the case for me. The sirloin steak was a bit on the tough side...as know as chewy. lol Other than this, I have nothing but great things to say about my first visit to this establishment. The customer service was on point and everyone was so friendly. This!...& the Chicken n' Waffles dish won me over. We left pretty full and satisfied....which was a little disappointing because the desserts in the display cases looked amazing and I really wanted to dive-in on one of them! In all, you can't go wrong with Beeline Diner. The food hits the spot and the price point is great too. I recommend and looking forward to coming back to try some of the other plethora of dishes they serve! :-)

I had the salmon dish was generally good - the Cajun roasted salmon was well seasoned but the sides on the plate were not. The restaurant is very clean and bright (much bigger than I thought it would be from the outside). $$ There is a free parking lot.

I stopped in The Coffee Room for the first time today, because I was famished after having fasted…read morefor 12 hours for the lab work I had just done upstairs. The owners are lovely and they offer quite a bit for being in such a small space, from coffee (including proper Turkish coffee!) & tea to freshly-made sandwiches & other food/munchies. I got a breakfast sammie, which had a good amount of egg, turkey & cheese between the slices of multigrain bread. I've finished it now (delish) and I'm quite full. So, if you're getting labs done upstairs or in the neighborhood for something else, or you live nearby, pop by The Coffee Room. It's a great little place for a quick & delicious bite to eat. And for coffee, of course.

Hidden gem with lovely owner, Saeeda, and a few specialty treats you won't easily find elsewhere!…read moreThis is a super tiny but neat and clean one-person operation inside the lobby of 205 S. Whiting Street. It's an office building, so it follows those hours Monday-Saturday. I had just come from Labcorp and had been fasting -needed to eat and ordered a no-frills egg and cheese sandwich cooked panini style. It was good. What caught my eye, though, were the lentil sambusas. They looked super fresh and I asked who made them -Saeeda said she makes them and also the delectable looking chocolate sweets displayed on the counter. The sweets looked professional and polished -Saeeda gave a free sample to some customers behind me and they bought more and were raving about it. Being diabetic I had to pass, but they looked mouthwatering. Those same customers said they always stop in when they are near S. Whiting Street just to get the lentil sambusas. I bought 4 and tried one still warm when I got home. Let me tell you, I know a lot about samosas / sambusas -these were amazing and reasonably priced. They were lightly fried but very crisp and flaky (maybe phyllo dough) and not greasy. The lentils were so well seasoned but not overly so, nor were they salty or spicy -just the right balance of various spices and the cumin came through but not overwhelming. The lentils were not at all mushy and very well cooked -just right. You really need to go there just to get these wonderful homemade sambusas to go -and there's plenty of free parking and a few tables and chairs in the lobby if you want eat there. Like seriously... so flavorful and yummy. If you try, you'll come back. The menu, like the shop, is small -bagel/cream cheese, a few sandwiches, chips, smoothies, various cold drinks, apples, bannanas, packaged snacks/sweets, and the wonderful sambusas and sweets made by Saeeda herself. I'd like to point out that she seemed to be a master of coffee (there's tea also), including Turkish and Arabic coffee. Everyone was getting specialty hot or iced coffee plus something else. I heard one of the customers mention Yemini coffee, too. I only met Saeeda today and it was my first time patronizing her little place. I don't normally write long reviews anywhere for anyone unless they are great. Even as I write, I am very sick and in tremendous pain today... but my little stop at the Coffee Room this afternoon was so pleasant. I really like this woman enrepreneur -such a sweet person and making the most of her tiny business. I truly wish her well and just had to let others know about her homemade savory and sweet treats.

I tried both and both were very good and tasted as promised in the description. I think price wise they are comparable to other shops in the area. The ambiance is amazing, the cafe is such a vibe.

I went with the breakfast chicken chorizo burrito and kale salad with the lavender latte. The burrito was good and very large, could easily be split between two people. However, I would recommend getting some hot sauce on the side if you want a little spice. The kale salad was very refreshing, it balanced out the burrito well. I wasn't a huge fan lavender latte, the lavender flavor wasn't that strong. Overall it was a decent place for a quick bite.

There's a ton of seating and wifi is available as well to work. The people who work there are nice and they have a good set up on delivering your order to your table. It can get alittle loud but not so bad where you can't hear your own conversation with company.

Rating only as a coffee shop, I was quite pleased with my cup of Joe, where it was full-bodied,…read moresmooth and with no harsh notes. Service was quick where I enjoyed my cup outside on one of their tables adjoining the business. Besides coffee, they would appear to serve the full assortment of drinks you would expect to see in a barista type operation as well as sandwiches where they serve breakfast and lunch during the course of the day. Nice! Overall, if you're looking for a quick cup of coffee that is not a chain coffee then this is an excellent option for you especially if you are in the area. The other key thing to note is this shop opens at 6 AM Monday through Friday so if you're an early riser like I am, keep that in mind.

AMBIANCE: I came here to meet up with a new friend for a…read morequick morning bite. It was the perfect spot to do just that. you walk in and can feel the spot is a neighborhood gem. that being said, i felt like a slight outsider being new there--not a them thing, just a me thing :). They deff have regulars. It's smal and cozy; the furniture is mismatched and i LOVE that. Now, if you have customer-anxiety, i like to call it, i would deff look at the menu beforehand so you know what to order. I walked in and there was a couple sitting closest to the cash register and i was like "oup!! can't take too long. everyone knows i'm here and i need to make a quick decision" so i just ordered quickly without really the taking time to look at the menu (whenever i go to new coffee spots i like i choose a fun, unique drink if they have it and i just derped). SERVICE: The owners were running the cash register on a saturday morning. I love me some business owners! So it made me happy to support this business. they were quick, kind, and efficient. The drink was made QUICKLY! I was in and out in under 8 mins. So saturday morning around 10:30am/11am -- i got quick service. FOOD: The iced coffee was so yum. I got a small iced vanilla latte. It was honestly perfectly. I like my iced coffees sweet but not too sweet. I didn't have to add anything but i could still taste the coffee profile. it was a joy to drink. for a bite to eat, i had the corn muffin (pretending to make myself feel better about eating something "healthy"). It was AMAZING. Totaled around 11 bucks. Definitely crumbled easy while eating it, as I was breaking pieces off with my hands while I chatted. All in all, i'd come again for sure.
