Drew, the barista, customized our order for our taste and even made me a second coffee when the first order was too sweet. Interior was nicely decorated for this lake town with a nice, cozy atmosphere. Peaceful piano music playing in the background made this visit relaxing and enjoyable. Only recommendation would be to serve coffee in coffee mugs instead of styrofoam cups. Support local coffee shops. I'll visit often.

It wasn't busy at all so I got to chit chat with the friendly barista. She helped talk me through a few drink options and I decided on a brown sugar latte. The drink was so good I had almost finished it off while waiting for my blueberry scone. Not that they took long, I just kept sipping! The scone came out hot and covered with icing. Highly recommended if you have a sweet tooth. It was a little too soft and ended up being very messy (grab a fork if you order one). The coffee shop itself had good vibes with a modern/minimalistic approach. Lots of seating if you have a big group or just need a place to work or read. I'll definitely be visiting again if I come back this way!

Kind of a classic hipster coffee place vibe. Coffee, tea, and chai available on the menu with non-dairy options for a small charge. I had a seasonal item, the vanilla chai, which was perfectly creamy and not too sweet with a touch of cinnamon and mulled spice. The grilled chicken Casear wrap was amazing - crisp lettuce and the perfect amount of dressing to keep the meat moist without a soggy tortilla. A little on the pricey side but very refreshing for a cute lunch date or catch up.

I enjoy how they do seasonal/speciality drinks. They have always been tasty and this one was a new one I haven't had and it was great! They also offer non-dairy milk alternatives which I appreciate. I ordered the summer salad which has chicken, blueberries, strawberries, pecans, and feta cheese. I have gotten this salad previously and it used to be fresh and had lots of flavor. This time, everything fell flat and seemed several days old and the chicken was shredded, almost like super dry canned chicken. Before it was grilled so I'm not sure if I just came on a day before they got fresh produce or what. I'll be back and hope it's more like previous times.

The teas were excellent and the food had a good variety. The BLT Biscuits were the star for us. Favorite teas were the French Lavender (it's actually from France!) and the Pomegranate Oolong. The decor is really what stands out the most. There's so much to see in every direction, it's almost overstimulating but in a very relaxed way. If you like tea & Alice in Wonderland, definitely stop by! Be sure to visit The Rabbit Hole, their gift shop & bakery. It's beautiful and there's so many items to choose from!

The drive through the Mentone area is always beautiful and there's lots of cool studios and artsy things to do in the surrounding area. I will say they absolutely delivered on the Alice in Wonderland theme. It's wall-to-wall memorabilia, decorations, and cute ideas that allude to the classic story. If you're an Alice fan...definitely check it out. I wouldn't mind a few more Cheshire cats, though. :) Service was okay, honestly a bit disheveled and didn't seem in the best mood. We arrived early for lunch around 11:15. They initially sat our party of 3 at a table with chairs for 8-10. My mom even asked if they were sure they wanted to put us there and they affirmed the decision. They seemed confused that we were there and unsure what to do with us, even though I don't think anyone else who came in after us had a reservation or anything. Anyway, about 5 minutes later a giant party rolled up and they wound up moving us anyway. Fortunately we hadn't gotten drinks or anything yet. Due to the large size of some of the furniture pieces, navigation around the restaurant can be a little challenging. Also, the chair I sat in at table 2.0 had a sort of musty smell that I didn't love, lol. Minor nitpicks but it does sort of add up. Anyway, we placed our orders for food. They have a nice menu for teas and I'm sure it would be fun to have a tea party here, but it was too hot for me to partake. My mom got the biscuit BLT, my dad had a turkey wrap, and I got the chicken and biscuits, which is a bit like a chicken pot pie without bottom crust. For sides, my parents got the baked potato salad and crunchy pea salad, and I got the southern hot corn casserole. The sides were definitely the high point. The pea salad was crisp and refreshing and the baked potato salad was creamy and flavorful. My corn casserole wasn't terribly spicy but had a nice blend of flavors and textures, though it was perhaps slightly overcooked (the cheese on top was approaching crispy). They also didn't initially bring it out with my meal, but got it quickly after I asked for it. The entrees, however, fell flat. Mine was probably the most successful but it was ultimately pretty bland and there wasn't a whole lot of chicken in the meal -- mostly biscuits and gravy/filling. My mom's bacon in her BLT was very badly overcooked (even for someone who likes crispier bacon) and the biscuits were pretty crumbly. And my dad's turkey wrap was super underwhelming, about like what you'd buy pre-prepared from the deli section at Target or something. I sound like I'm coming across harsh and I wouldn't say we had a bad time, just the food didn't really meet our hopes/expectations. Definitely delivered on theme and decor. I think it's worth a try if you're a huge Alice in Wonderland fan or just enjoy whimsy in your life. The menu is creative and breakfast offerings sound good; perhaps it just wasn't quite our day that day. I'm glad I got the chance to try it out though.

I was able to enjoy the breakfast brunch sampler which included ham and cheese quiche, a tomato pie, and a strawberry crêpe with fresh fruit. I appreciated the selection of quality teas, locally made dessert options also a plus. Not sure why yelpers have been so up appreciate this locally owned business. So I do hope that you guys will read through some these reviews with an open mind. We waited, probably about 20 minutes to be seated, which isn't too bad, especially without reservations and as another yelper mentioned wait times. The prices were very reasonable compared to some of the mass chain restaurants you find or even other spots outside of Mentone. The only critique I have would be for our server savanah. She kind of rushed us a little bit with bringing us a check before we were quite finished. I chalk it up to her being young and maybe not as experienced, but she was very friendly.

My friends and I were always lucky to snag a table for us those times. But coming in the morning is really pleasant. I've only gotten coffee here in the past, so this time we got food. I got a Pistachio Croffin (croissant muffin) and we shared a Berries and Cream crepe. And that first bite of that crepe was absolutely delicious. We were planning on sharing that crepe with another friend, but that crepe was so good we demolished it haha. We ended up ordering the Spinach Pesto crepe to share for later instead. But wow, I have nothing but praise for these crepes because they blew me away. The Berries and Cream crepe was just amazing. Fruits tasted fresh and juicy. The crepe itself was perfectly sweet. And the whipped cream cheese filling inside was light and creamy. I couldn't ask for more in a fruit crepe. Also the light drizzle of sweetened condensed milk on top? Chef's kiss. And then we tried the Spinach and Pesto crepe. It had all my favorite things inside, so of course I loved it. I loved the savory pesto spread inside the crepe, the spinach, ricotta, and parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. The tomatoes added a nice acidity to balance and the balsalmic glaze tied it all together on top. It felt like applause roared in my mouth. Also I can't forget the Pistachio Croffin I ate too. It had great texture, and had that subtle nutty flavor from the pistachio. I really liked it. Anyways, I'm a big Morning Brew fan. It's poppin' in the afternoon and it's tough getting a seat, but it's not hard to see why. I prefer the early mornings for a more quiet and less chaotic atmosphere. Love you morning brew! I will always remember how those crepes rocked my world and I'll definitely be back.
