    My new, made in America, seasoned 8" cast Iron skillet.
    Tess M.

    Surfas delivers both in store or to your door! Backstory. Four years ago when I moved, married, I totally pared down my kitchen including a donation of a seasoned cast iron skillet trio. In the spirit of Marie Kondo, as I gently placed them in a cardboard box, I felt connection, a connection I ignored and let them go to a new home... Whoever got them had better be enjoying, taking pristine care of them, just sayin'... Fast forward. A recipe for Socca the French street food chickpea flatbread I am anxious to make requires a 10" cast iron skillet. Enter Surfas. If only I could go back with my BFFs to that day (see initial review) we ate, shopped and promised to return sooner than soon. But that was then and this is now. Hubby and I both considered at risk for Covid-19 by only our age, mask up, limit shopping, exposure in order to be safe until there is a well-tested vaccine. So, I went to Surfas online for that skillet and chickpea flour cuz this is the place to buy hard to find ingredients. Ordered the skillet (just an 8"; I can adjust recipe) but couldn't get the flour. Order placed. Promised for next day, Wednesday delivery. Hours later, voicemail, email to let me know with apologies that that wasn't feasible. NO worries on my end but really appreciated the follow-up, customer service. One day later. Thursday, a knock on my door, my new cast iron skillet arrived. Masked, gloved, Surfas delivery guy wanted to take a pic of me receiving my purchase but due to extreme bedhead, I cracked the door, grabbed the bag's handles for the photo op. Many thanks, Surfas! Can't wait to dine in, shop again...

    Decently tasty food in a no frills location surrounded by cooking supplies? Sign me up! Surfas is a great stop for serious cooks- those that understand some pricy ingredients are worth it, and often best cooked up using commercial grade tools. The cafe is a simple counter service location in the middle of the store, with a small cheese and meat case, sandwich case, and dessert case. Sandwiches are prepped in advance, but thrown on the panini press when ordered. I was worried this might affect the freshness, but even when we stopped in an hour before closing, it tasted great. Sandwiches come with some basic greens and creamy balsamic that's packed up in to go containers. A couple tables flank the exit doors, with the bulk of seating outside. A limited selection of bottled drinks were available for purchase, including some deliciously tart but balanced lemonade. The food itself was a bit more varied than you'd see in a regular sandwich shop. My tomato and fig panini had a wonderfully "funky" cheese that probably wouldn't show up on most menus because it's not a typical crowd pleaser. Here, amongst the goody crowds, I was able to enjoy the stinky, melted goodness of quality cheese to my heart's content. While we didn't partake, the desserts looked tasty, and they also carry coffee and tea. Service was friendly and quick, and prices reasonable. Stop in while picking up cooking supplies and enjoy a quick bite.

    Cute outdoor patio and lots of free parking in back.

    The breakfast sandwich was solid, but the Jidori chicken sandwich was dry. Also, skip the coffee.

    After lunch my friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a pastry and though we were kinda full…read morewe're so glad we stopped in! The cafe is much larger on the inside than it appears. Plenty of tables and booths in case you're wanting to sit. Since it was our first time here we made our way to the pastry display to choose our dessert. Adriana was so incredibly helpful sharing her favorites with us. Once we made our choice (carrot cake and lemon tart) she went to grab them while I ordered drinks (hazelnut latte and lemonade) and paid. Adriana was super friendly, letting me know to grab a seat and she'd bring the pastries and drinks to our table. We are definitely going to return to enjoy more baked goods and the great service! PS--we were enjoying our desserts before taking a picture

    So disappointed to say this place was not what I imagined. Maybe my expectations were too high…read morebecause their wraps and tuna melt on Uber Eats have never let me down. I was convinced breakfast was going to be just as good. Unfortunately, reality said, "Not today. First, let me give credit where it's due: Dulce was AMAZING. Sweet, attentive, welcoming, and honestly the MVP of our visit.If Yelp allowed me to give stars specifically for service, she'd be carrying this review on her back !! We ordered a fruit cup for my toddlers (ages 1 and 3), and when it arrived, it looked like someone had declared a melon and cantaloupe convention. There were two slices of strawberry, one grape, and one lonely blackberry fighting for representation. Dulce noticed and kindly removed it from the bill...as she noticed the disappointment.Then the food arrived. I ordered the bacon breakfast burrito. I'd give it a 6/10 It was mostly potatoes wrapped in a tortilla with a guest appearance by bacon & egg.The guacamole sauce didn't help, it wasn't green anymore and was brown. My sister ordered the steak medium rare.It arrived very well done and so chewy. We tried salt, tapatio, Neither worked so bland bland. Then came the scalloped potatoes. The moment we saw water pooling underneath them, we tapped out. The only thing that truly delivered was the waffle. It was delicious, and the fruit served with it actually looked fresh and appetizing. Overall, I really wanted to love this place because I've had such great experiences ordering lunch from here. The service was fantastic thanks to Dulce, but the breakfast food just didn't live up to the reputation I had built in my head. Hopefully this was just an off day, because the staff deserves better food to serve.
