Very inviting and cozy little cafe. The espresso drinks were good. I ordered the classic soufflé pancakes. They warned me it would take about 15 minutes to make. Honestly I appreciate the warning and the time it takes. That tells me they are making it from scratch and it's fresh. They were light and delicious! The customer service was friendly. I'd go back and recommend it! read more

Thirty-Six Cafe has the best souffle pancakes! There's off street parking so please be sure to stop by early if you want a good parking spot otherwise you'll have to park far and walk your way over. The interior of the cafe is very chic. It's your girly-girl-pink flowers and insta-worthy picture place. My girlfriend and I stopped by to catch up after months of not seeing each other only to find out that a friend of ours has opened up this cafe. Macy, owner of 36 did a beautiful job with this place. Not to mention, the souffle pancakes are to die for. We ordered the Hooray for Ube! and Banana foster souffle pancakes with Rose Gold Honey Latte and Rosy Blush Tea Latte. All were super delicious. It was super busy so we did wait quite some time for the pancakes to come out but we had so much to catch up on that it didn't matter how long we waited. We got to Thirty-Six at around 11am and stayed until 3:30pm maybe 4pm. In those 4 hours of catching up, the cafe was non-stop busy. I have never stopped by during the weekdays so I can't say, but if you're planning a weekend trip to 36 Cafe, be prepare for busy hours and yummy pancakes. I would definitely recommend this cafe! Not because I know the owner but because it's your insta worthy place and the pancakes are a plus+++. Happy Eating! read more

My first impression was not the best but I'm glad I went a second time to try more things on the menu. The reason I say that is because I ordered the early riser avocado toast and I felt the toast couldve been more toasted (but the toast itself was good) and the side salad that cake with it was wilted and tasted old. My earl gray latte was delicious though; so I still had hope and all of my girlfriends kept saying how great it was. Went in again today with my kids so we ordered the purple yam pancakes and the classic, UGH the purple yam definitely was the star of the soufflé pancake show. I ordered the mango madness smoothie bowl and that was perfect, loved all of the toppings that were perfectly balanced. For my drink I had the rose blush tea latte, I think I found my new fave, it is so perfectly delicately delicious. The owner Macy asked me how my last visit was and took my criticism with grace and thanked me for coming in to try again. While I was there she was so attentive to everyone and made sure to ask each costumers name, - connection!!!! That's how it is done people. Can't wait to go back. read more

Never having had souffle pancakes before I didn't know what to expect but my God they were delicious. I also had a chai latte that was equally pleasing. Definitely worth going for a Sunday treat. read more

Unbelievably light and fluffy pancakes that defy gravity. We ordered a variety of items so we could share tastes. My fave was the purple yam pancakes, which tasted nothing like that. So perfectly barely sweet and delicious, with the slightest hint of purple in the topping. It's a super girly restaurant, which made me appreciate my son even more for bringing me here on my birthday. Not a single klinker on the menu. Go! Enjoy! read more

Came here on Wednesday to check this new place out. I was fairly disappointed. When we got there they said they only had one cook making pancakes and it would take 1.5 hours to get them, while the cafe was pretty empty. I never got the chance to try them. The drink looked pretty but tasted alright. The decor looked very cheaply made, there were some cute areas but it was not worth the 30 minute drive to check this place out. The owner was super sweet though and made sure to connect with everyone there. This place was a bit hard to find because it's in a random building with no sign outside of it. The cafe wasn't over priced which was nice. Though I probably won't be going out of my way to come back again. read more

Cute looking cafe, my sisters and I were excited to visit this place before we go back to California. Pretty disappointed in the way staff took care of us. We were told the wait was an hour and a half, which we were ok with, but I requested a particular place to sit, (flower wall), since it'd be perfect for us, however instead of trying to accommodate us, I even offered to wait longer, they did not try to work with us. We came back and sat us at the long 5 seat table, luckily the table requested became available at the instant, they still wouldn't allow us to sit there. I don't understand why it's so difficult to accommodate guest to their liking and happiness, as a restaurant owner, customer service is the our number one priority. Of course all with respect. I know sometimes when it gets busy, staff may get stressed, they need to communicate to essentially provide customers with best service. AS WE WERE LEAVING. I over heard the staff offer other guests THE OPTION of where they'd like to sit. Not cool. Anyways not coming back. Food and drinks: very delicious pancake soufflé, the berry smoothie was good as well. I ordered the chai latte, a little too sweet for my liking, ordered hot. The coffee was a little watered down, the rose tea latte tasted like a cup of milk. Very cute esthetic, instagram worthy. read more

This was a fun, delicious, and special place to spend my sisters birthday brunch! It's a place that makes you feel fancier than you probably are with the beautiful (photo-worthy) decor, but at the price point that us common folks are comfortable spending. We had a larger group for the space but we were able to get a perfect seat section early on a Saturday morning. We placed our orders, and waited patiently for our coffee and food. The soufflé pancakes take a bit longer, but the staff lets you know that when you order them, and they're worth the wait! The coffee was very delicious, indulgent but not over sweet. We were even told they make their own syrups for the coffee in house! Our group each ordered something different so we were able to try it all. Whether I'm with a birthday crew or by myself, I will definitely be back. read more

Cute location !! Workers there are super friendly and helpful! Food was amazing! My fav is the salmon toast and caramel coffee!

Very delicious food and drinks, and they're so nice. Because of COVID-19 you have to place your order on the phone and it takes about 15-20 minutes. read more

This place was really good. Coffee and matcha were AMAZING. Took a while to get a table because it's a small space but service was fast!

The food was okay. A little on the cold side, but still tasty. The other downside is the time limit and space. Don't lose track of time they will come and tell you politely to leave on the weekends. You get up to place your order at the register and pick up your own drinks. They bring you the food. Cute place overall. read more

My friend and I ended up trying this place because we saw beautiful pictures of it on Instagram. It had only opened up about two weeks before we visited. The owner was very nice and explained that they were still working out the kinks with having a small staff and space and the demand they were receiving. We got out lattes fairly quickly but were warned that the soufflé pancakes would take about an hour. The rose gold honey latte was very good but they were out of mugs so I didn't get to experience the beautiful presentation because it was in a paper cup. The food was really good, the pancakes were really sweet and loaded with whip cream, they could easily be split between two people. The avocado toast was nice and fresh and reasonably priced under $10. I will definitely be going back! read more

Great place! Got the rose gold latte, great taste and very reasonable priced! Also got an order of the fluffy pancakes. They tasted great and you could tell they were very fresh. Only downside is that it is so popular so the wait was long and there was not enough seating. If you're okay waiting, it is for sure worth the wait! read more

Wonderful atmosphere! Great soufflé pancakes, however would have liked a little more strawberry on the pancakes (only 4 little slices). Get there early if you don't want to wait! Would love to come back and try the eggs Benedict pancakes! read more

OK, have you ever heard of a soufflé pancake? I cannot believe that I had not heard of it... Simply wonderful. Light, fluffy, not dry, and they're whipped topping are so flavorful without being overly sugary. They even have a savory option on their breakfast menu and I wasn't sure about it because I'm not a huge fan of taking a savory item and put it on a sweet pancake for example, but with the bacon and the side salad it actually nicely balances it out. The only bummer right now is that they only open at 10 AM since the start of Covid. I am looking forward to when these breakfast items will be available and a more normal breakfast time instead of brunch! read more

The best atmosphere, service and coffee! Could not be more lovely. The food is delicious too.

The interior of the cafe is really cute and girly! Definitely gives a instagram type of vibe if you want to take pictures I really wanted to try their soufflé pancakes but they ran out of it. So I opted in for a Rose Gold Honey Latte which i wasn't too impressed with it. Maybe because the title of the drink threw me off just a bit? It tasted like a normal latte with a hint of honey. I also got the Matcha Love which was good but I personally didn't feel like there was anything special about this dessert. The wait for the food was quite long but it was because it was busy and I went in the afternoon. Overall, the place was good and I'd definitely want to go back and try the pancakes! read more

Beautiful environment, absolutely lovely staff and great menu for reasonable prices. Yes, wait times are lengthy when you order their signature soufflés but I was told that when I ordered so that was kind. The only major bummer is that there's no WiFi and they don't plan to get WiFi. That could hurt business for those who want to work or study. Otherwise, still a great place! read more

If I could give this a 0 star I would. I don't like to leave bad reviews but I ended up walking out of this cafe for a number of reasons including poor customer service and limited seating. I waited at the register because they were busy and was told someone will be with me. When someone is finally with me, they told me the soufflé is only for pre-order only, otherwise it will take an hour or so to make. Seriously! Where is the sign for this? I'm probably overacting but that would be nice to know so I don't go wasting my time. read more

Made a special trip to try this place at 1:30pm on saturday. There were people inside sitting at tables chatting. Door locked. The owner waved us away without even opening the door to give us an excuse, even when we pointed out the sign stated open until 5 on Sat. Just waved us away into the snow and ignored us. Thanks buddy. read more

Amazing food with great price. Love the atmosphere. Drinks are unique. Will come back!

Where do I even start, this cafe was one of the best I've been to and that's coming from someone that's out of state. My boyfriend and I came from California and we were looking for a good cup of coffee. This place not only had great coffee but AMAZING customer service! We chatted with the owner and she was extremely welcoming. The place itself is also beautiful for pictures and to sit and enjoy pastries. 10000% Recommend!! Will be coming back on our next visit. read more

It's a very cute small location. The food is great and istagramble. It's window service so I advise to find a table while you order since there is not much seating. The souffle pancake are amazing I personally love the classic. The lattes are great as well I really liked the Earl Grey one. The staff is very sweet and friendly. Totally recommend going here. read more

So adorable! Always wanted to try fluffy pancakes and they did not disappoint. I got the Rose Gold Honey Latte with almond milk and the classic pancakes. Very filling but delicious. My sister got a chocolate latte and banana foster pancakes still just as amazing. The atmosphere is adorable and the employees are so nice. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Going to try again. Went on a semi-busy morning (tables full but no line) to try the pancakes but because the orders ahead of me i was told it would take an hour before they would be ready. Opted for the salmon avocado toast instead which was ok. The bread was not toasted, and the avocado made it soggy so if I picked it up, it was going to fall apart. There was a very thin, 1-layer of salmon on top and had little flavor. A small tasty salad accompanied it. Highlight were probably the drinks. They were tasty and pretty. I'm assuming that they are new and probably still figuring out the flow of things so I look forward to trying again. read more

I have been here twice and the decorations are beautiful. The first time, I ordered the coffee rosegold honey latte but was disappointed when it came with two tiny flakes of gold that tasted bad. The music was also very loud and there is a lot of echo when other people talk, making it hard to hear my friends who were right next to me. Another important thing to note is that they do not take reservations and every member of your party must be present before they can seat you. Despite my first experience, I came again with another friend and ordered the soufflé benedict, which was amazing! There is no denying that the food here is gorgeous and tasty. read more

Incredible mango smoothie bowl and amazing staff and service!!! Will definitely be coming back

Food was good the one time I was able to actually eat. They've changed their hours multiple times but failed to update google, facebook, or even their store front with new hours. Pretty difficult to enjoy food when the business can't even update the most basic information out of respect for their customers. read more

Amazing, fluffy pancakes. Quiet and vibrant atmosphere. Very pink and soothing. Love it!
