Stopped by Doubting Thomas for brunch and ended up really liking the place. It has that relaxed neighborhood vibe, and it's super close to Dollar Hits (Filipinos know that spot!), so it's easy to swing by before or after.
We ordered the Chai ( Muddy? Dirty? forgot) and the Seasonal Cream Top Cold Brew. Both were decent--not amazing, but not bad either. The cold brew cream top was the better one of the two.
The desserts were the real highlight. The Passion Fruit Pie was bright, creamy, and had that tart kick that makes passion fruit so good. The graham + macadamia crust was buttery and crunchy without getting soggy, which is rare. The heirloom apple, blackberry & vanilla custard hand pie tasted like a warm, cozy fall dessert. Crispy outside, soft and fruity inside, and not overly sweet. You can tell they really care about their pastries.
For food, we tried the Veggie Breakfast Burrito, and honestly it tasted like something you'd get at most breakfast spots..sorry to say..nothing special, but very fresh. The Thomas Burger was the stronger pick. Juicy patty, melty cheese, a soft sesame bun, and the thick-cut fries were super crisp without being greasy.
Service was quick, and the cashier had a cheerful, friendly vibe, which always helps start things off right.
Overall, solid brunch spot. The pastries are the real reason to come...the passion fruit pie with the graham macadamia crust is absolutely worth stopping for. read more
