    I absolutely love Summit Coffee. Their products are delicious, the service is friendly, and it is an incredibly warm and welcoming place for everyone. The ambiance is sunny and warm too. This is our neighborhood coffee shop, and we love building a relationship with the awesome owner, Will, and his great team.

    I really wanted to love this place, but the coffee and pastry were disappointing. It is such a cute coffee shop with a good ambiance, decorations, a variety of seating options both inside and outside, and nice staff. My boyfriend and I both got iced lattes, he got a vanilla flavored one and I got caramel. Neither of us could really taste any flavoring, and the coffee itself wasn't great. We also got an apple turnover, it was okay, but I wouldn't get it again. The coffee shop is located just across the street from an apartment complex and there is limited parking outside the store and you have to pay to park in the parking deck. Overall I wasn't impressed, I may give it a second chance and try a different drink just because so many other people have such positive opinions about it.

    Where to begin with Summit coffee what a great place to sit and have a sip, the staff is amazing and friendly and offer up great suggestions for anything you'd like to drink to get out of the hot sun. May I suggest that you try the Peach iced tea with a little bit of simple syrup it was amazing and sit outside on the patio listen to music, watch people walk their dogs, and just enjoy your day and the sounds of train going by. I came in via the light rail to go to Summit coffee in order to join a walking mural art walk I came in via the light rail to go to Summit coffee in order to join a walking mural art walk And I was not disappointed because the very 1st mural that I saw was right there by Summit coffee. Once the weather turns chilly, I can see myself grabbing some coffee and walking through NoDA and enjoying the tasty coffee.

    I loved everything about this place except for their coffee. Me and my cousin found this place after our early morning mural walk. This was a random find as we wanted to have something hot. It's a cool place with a cool vibe. The look is attractive and contemporary. We ordered coffee and while the barista was preparing I was clicking pictures of the place. Our coffee was served in just cold to warm consistency. When mentioned that, she apologized and prepared a new one. She informed us to mention next time that we prefer hot. The new one was also the same warm consistency. I was tired of explaining her, we just left the place. Needs a few more tweaks to suit me.

    I absolutely love Summit!!! A bright and fun coffee shop. Although I am a black coffee person, I occasionally try their seasonal drinks - winter's blueberry iced coffee was excellent and I love the new spring thyme drink with espresso. The service is always outstanding since the employees are so friendly. The coffee bags are my favorite to buy because I can consistently have coffee shop quality coffee every day. I always look forward to having an excuse to stop in - the art is an added bonus. There's always something creative on the walls!

    I'd say that when I first walk into this place it was mid. Didn't seem special but I can't say that about the blue haired worker going ham on my drink, I felt as if she was pouring her heart into the drink she was making. The little hearts she made on top was cute and when i sipped my coffee, I felt as if I was back at my grandmothers house enjoying life as a little kid.

    Oatmilk caramel latte.  Yummo!

    Walking in, there is a sense of VIBE awareness. The service was prompt and acknowledged our eagerness to get coffee. Floors and tables were clean and spaced out with an option for bar-style seating as well as padded bench on the wall for a semi-booth experience. There are seating options outside that are adequately sheltered from the glaring sun. Winning! So, one thing that was very interesting was that it was Sunday when we visited and almost every table was full of people working on laptops as if it were a Monday in the office. Probably not the vibe I would have expected for a Sunday; but the great coffee made up for the shop talk in surround sound. The last critique I would give is that they need a more robust food option rather than a few scones and cookies that look to be left over from the day before. There are other coffee shops that understand the desire for snacks and get this right. Certainly feel like this could elevate the overall experience here for future visits. Looking forward to coming back when I'm in the area again soon. Cheers!

    I think I found my new favorite coffee spot. There are a few good ones in my neighborhood but the vanilla latte I had here is the best I've had in some time. Really cool decor and vibes and just a short walk away from the light rail stop. I will for sure be returning!

    Blueberry pie cold brew

    Small but cute and cozy place. Cleaning outside seating area. Very friendly and informative staff especially since it was my first time. They have few different fall flavors. I tried the blueberry pie cold brew it was delicious.

    This place is so cute, definitely with their regulars and everyone who works there is so nice. I asked for recommendations and I felt like it was a genuine recommendation. A great place to cowork or grab a drink/coffee. I love the vibe. Next time i hope to try one of their pastries.

    Very cute coffee shop in NoDa. Everyone is super friendly and the coffee is always good. I'm a fan of them promoting local artists work for sale inside as well and they have a range of options including seasonal specials that I always look forward to

    I loved this cute coffee shop! I visited a friend in the apartments facing the shop and walked over here in the morning to grab breakfast. They had a list of several seasonal winter drinks along with breakfast foods and pastry items. They made me want to go back for a second latte that afternoon! The staff were so friendly and quick. I would definitely recommend!

    Had a lovely solo night out at La Belle Helene! Had reservations in advance and was waited on…read morequickly and very attentively. I ordered the arugula salad which was incredibly delicious. Flavorful, with both very savory and yet light ingredients which made it perfect for an entree. Not too dense but also filling enough for the wait until dinner. Then the salmon a la plancha. The salmon was cooked to perfection and not overdone, which is unfortunately often the case. The perfect portion along with the tomatoes and kale to keep it rich, but still somehow light. Ended the night with their signature (and recommended) le citron lemon dessert which was to die for. The waitress also brought me some madelines with an adorable little personalized message to complement my little mom's solo night out. 10 out of 10 and certainly can't wait to come again!

    Steak Frites (5/5): The steak was well seasoned and well cooked. Lots of flavor but maybe just a…read morebit tough (that might've been because it was ordered medium though). The fries were battered and very crispy. These are the best kind! Complimentary Puff Pastry (4/5): These had the flavor of the bread at Brazilian steakhouses but with a different texture. The pastry was crumbly and there was a chilled gruyere mousse inside. Nice way to start the meal. French Onion Soup (3/5): Thick soup with lots of flavor. A little too sweet and tangy for me. I liked how much cheese there was on top. Duck A L'Orange (3/5): The duck wasn't that great. The skin wasn't crispy and it was a little too gamey. There was also very little meat in general. The orange sauce was runnier than I expected and very subtle. Good amount of potatoes and green beans which were solid. La Ricane (4/5): Reminded me of a Snickers ice cream bar but instead of ice cream it was a fluffy nougat. Good, but hard to justify the price when the ice cream version from the store is better and much cheaper haha Complimentary Madeleine (3/5): Nice that they gave these out at the end of the meal! Soft and bready with a light lemon flavor. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

I was pleasantly surprised by the items we ordered! We grabbed our food and drinks from the pick-up window and enjoyed the outdoor seating. Also, the iced matcha latte was the perfect shade of green. We didn't take pictures of the burritos, but they were a little smaller than I expected for the price, which cost between $8.25-$8.45. I can't really speak to the service because we ordered through the tablet and had minimal interactions with the baristas. However, I'm looking forward to coming back here to check out the indoor area, which we didn't really explore this time around. Smelly Cat Coffee is also conveniently located near a light rail station, if you ever decide to check this place out!
