    Cute small coffee shop. They have a special blend of coffee made by Anodyne. The baristas were nice and also offered recommendations. They have plenty of syrups to choose from and specials throughout the week. It was a little pricey as they charged 75 cents for each single pump of syrup and extra for ice as you can see from the receipt. It was still great coffee but just a little pricey.

    Just love how cozy Sprocket cafe is! It's one of my favorite spots to come and work at on gloomy days. The cafe gives off such homey vibes. I'm not a huge coffee drinker so I usually stick to tea or some mixed drink but they do serve their own toast from Anodyne. If you're looking for a local spot that really knows their customers this might be the spot. And there's some variety of bagels, donuts, sandwiches and baked goods to choose from. The staff are incredibly kind.

    Sprocket Cafe is a quaint, quirky little coffee shop on KK serving up coffee made with Anodyne beans. They also serve up cakes from The Cake Lady as well as a variety of sandwiches and breakfast/lunch bites. When I've gone, however, it was mainly for coffee, which as I mentioned is made with Anodyne beans and definitely solid. I like to enjoy my coffee in-house as their space is decorated with an eclectic variety of vintage items (including a black & white tube TV!). It truly is a charming little coffee shop. It is small, so might not be the best spot if you're wanting to have a somewhat confidential business meeting. It also probably wouldn't be the best spot for large groups looking to stay and sip. The service when I've been in is a skosh on the slower side, but it's a small spot and while I've been there, there was only one person working. So, if you're wanting quick in and out kind of coffee, probably not your spot. If, however, you're wanting to leisure over a cup of steaming Anodyne coffee in a delightful environment? Get to it!

    This cafe is a hidden gem and I wonder why I haven't found it sooner! If you're into the moody maximalism aesthetics, this place is it. It has a cozy atmosphere to it. Although very limited seating, it's still a nice and cute place to have a quick catch up sesh, or get some work done here. They also have free secondhand books up for grabs; a huge plus. We had their Eggs Sam bagels, caramel latte and mocha with a shot of espresso. Worth the $22 breakfast, in my opinion. Service was friendly and helpful, too! Definitely trying their pastry next, which looked delicious.

    This is my favorite little local coffee joint. They have a great vintage vibe with an awesome choice of hot drinks and it's a bonus that the cake lady has a different cake on offer there every weekend. They also do a free little library and you can donate some of your books back at them. Give 'em a try

    I came here for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised! The sandwich I ordered was amazing! The bread is freshly baked at a local bakery. The outside had a nice toast and the inside was nice and light. The sriracha mayo had the perfect amount of kick to it. The onions and mixed greens on top were very fresh. The sliced chicken was very thing and only about 3-4 slices, so it should have a little more. The service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere is a small coffee shop style. Looks like a great place to hang out!

    Reclaimed lumber and furniture give it a quirky kitsch appeal.

    This is a great little laid-back neighborhood coffee shop. The decor is mid-century disorganized. ;-) Random 1950's kitchen tables and chairs are the seating, as well as a well-worn couch. There are vintage bicycles, parts, and signs on the walls to add visual interest. The mugs are mismatched and interesting too. They have a partnership with Sprocket antique shops next door, so perhaps the decor will rotate (hint hint to owner). There are a few baked selections from East Side Overstock nibble on. And they have Gelato! Try the Affogato, a shot of espresso over a tiny scoop of vanilla, chocolate, or espresso flavor ice cream. Coming here feels more like visiting my grandma's kitchen than coming to a commercial establishment. And that's a good thing! Stop in for a quiet cup of joe!

    Love this place. I always get the iced latte with the coffee ice cubes and the bike club sandwich. They make them fresh to order and have this aoli sauce they use that I always make sure to get extra of! They also have bagel sandwiches, sweets, and a wide array of drinks and teas.

    Service was outstanding, extremely friendly and attentive. I hadn't been to their new building yet…read moreand was pleasantly surprised to see some really cool retro pictures, hand stitched artwork, and classic wallpaper. It's a fun space and felt very welcoming. The chilaquiles were fantastic! They make their own hot sauce in house that was a good addition to the dish, along with chorizo. Highly recommend this one. It was also a huge portion and ended up feeding me for two meals. Make sure you get here early to avoid the extremely long lines; we planned to be there right when it opened and by the time we left, there were already people having to wait outside. Worth the wait though!

    Huh. I've heard good things about Honeypie and I'm confused now. I tried to get brunch with my…read morefamily at another area spot, but the wait was too long so we opted to try Honeypie. We reviewed the menu while we waiting for seating, which took far longer than we wanted, more than 30 minutes standing in the cramped lobby area with a bunch of other people. Hats off to their host for being friendly and even a little entertaining and I like that you can order coffee at the register area and drink it while you wait. Too bad you can't get a cocktail out there. The menu sounded great and we were ravenous so we were excited to order. By the time we were seated we were limited to about 40 minutes to get to a ticketed event, all in. I told that to our waitress so she could pace the meal accordingly. While I understand that she can't control the kitchen time, I don't think she showed any expediency or attention to my statement. Spoiler alert - we were late. Two of us ordered the biscuits to start with jam. I was happy to try them and they were good. My coffee based martini hit the spot, but it was spilled a little when it hit the table and our server didn't say anything or wipe it off. My mom liked her bloody Mary and it was decent. When our food came I was immediately disappointed by the appearance. My chilaquiles looked like they had sat under a heat lamp for ages - the egg was dried and over firm. My chips were spicy, but 100% soggy and nasty. My black beans were - meh. Not a good dish overall. My mom actually didn't find fault with her Honeypie Benedict. I tried the hollandaise and it was fine. My cousin did not enjoy her Hopple Popple skillet at all. (Potatoes, bacon, caramelized onion, mushroom, bell pepper, cheddar, two scrambled farm eggs) She found it difficult to find any egg, as it was apparently shrunk into tiny bits. The potatoes were like fries and it was overall bland. Not a winner. We certainly won't be back. The dishes don't live up to the interesting descriptions of them and the hype seems to be from an earlier, better time for this restaurant.

Just disappointed cause I saw so many good reviews. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing? Figured since it was titled "Axo", it would be one of their signature dishes and would not be a miss. Spent $130 with tip for brunch for 3. $6 for a small glass of orange juice that tasted store bought Just not worth it in my opinion as a first impression.

We split the birria bowl with the pancakes on the side. Portion was big enough to share between two people if you aren't a big eater. The pancakes looked like they were made of wheat flour but it was actually the cinnamon they add to the batter. The plating was incredible with homemade whipped cream with an edible flower on the top. The birria bowl was full of flavorful tender beef which paired really well with the eggs. They have really unique upscale combinations of Mexican almost fusion food so I need to explore the menu more next time but those pancakes will always be a staple every meal.
