Located near Penn's Landing, the shop itself is adorable, clean, and smells absolutely heavenly. It was so nice watching everything being made right in front of you with such care and attention to detail. The staff is incredibly artistic, and it truly shows in the presentation of every item on the menu. You honestly can't go wrong with anything you order- it's all delicious. Do not miss the cutest hot chocolate ever! I also highly recommend the Four Seasons waffle if you want to try a little bit of everything. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough and can't wait to come back. It's the perfect treat on a snowy day!

I travel quite often and I love trying different breakfast sandwiches at every place I go. The sandwich was a lot spicier than I expected, but it still tasted really good. I just do not enjoy spicy food so much. If you do, then I would recommend the sandwich to you. The white mocha was good. Not too sweet. I think it may have tasted even better if my mouth was not on fire from the food LoL! My biggest downside for coming here was lack of interaction. You order from a screen and when they call out your name for your food the place it on a table to pickup. I have a personal preference for interaction at coffee shops. When I went up to ask the lady for a lid she was very kind though!

It was later in the day, so there was no crowd; and, the kitchen had run out of some items. Everything tasted great; in fact, it was some of the best New England Clam Chowder I've ever had... and, we've just come from Boston! My compliments to the chef. The only downside is the pricing; and, fairly spartan decor. You have to bus your own tables; and, serve yourself too, so it's much more a cafeteria then a cafe. Great food, good service, good seating = 4 stars.

In lieu of any other info, I went with basics: Vietnamese iced coffee, original. They got the strong coffee flavor and the excessive sweetness. My gripe with Viet coffee is the strength and the resulting qualms that my stomach gives, but this was pleasantly to taste and stomach today! FWIW wi-fi is good for Zoom, and there's good seating in the three and a half tables available for guests. It's definitely a more youthful spot, with the Sabrina Carpenter playing in the background, but good if you're looking for specifically Vietnamese fixings. Happy to come back if I'm ever in a pinch for a cafe nearby to Reading again!

Their hotel room's glass shower door shattered with me naked inside leaving me with cuts on my body…read moreso deep that I needed immediate emergency attention and stitches. I was admitted to the nearest emergency room because I took a shower at this hotel and used the shower and its door normally. I was cut along my left wrist and forearm and on my right foot. Two of my toes and my wrist and arm are still recovering from this injury nearly a full month after this incident. At least one medical professional told me that I could have been at risk of bleeding out (dying) if the situation was slightly worse. And who knows if this hotel uses the same model shower door for more than just one of their rooms? The hotel's management did not call me to ensure my safety, apologize for the horror that they have put me through, or do their utmost to ensure that I am compensated for the horror that I was forced to experience at their establishment and it's been nearly a full calendar month since the incident with no successful proactive contact from them. Other than this horrifying experience which can likely happen to any of their other guests who decide to shower in their establishments the experience was beautiful. Very nice hotel room. Very dangerous shower. So if you are okay with risking your life and health every time you use their shower or don't plan on showering at their establishment at all, this is a great hotel for you to stay at.
