Stopped by this little breakfast coffee spot and tried their chicken and waffles — definitely not your usual take. It had an Asian twist that caught me off guard in a good way. The plum sauce/syrup gave it this sweet, almost duck-like flavor that actually worked really well with the crispy chicken. Super unique and tasty. Only seating was outside, but the weather was nice, so it wasn’t a problem. Great spot if you’re looking for something different than the standard breakfast fare

This is a cute little coffee shop! There's a lot of seating and music playing. They have a good selection of coffee, food and pastries and the workers are nice! I tried the Vietnamese hazelnut coffee and it was great! You can taste the coffee but it's also pretty sweet, which I loved!

Food was BOMB! We didn’t expect it to be really good. Would like to come back and try other recommendations. Hubby said the Vietnamese coffee was great! French toast was super crispy outside but soft inside. We got the Nutella flavor. Loco moco was a little spicy than usual but we love spicy food so it worked for us. Both items are easily shareable because serving was big. The only thing we didn’t like was how loud they play their music. We situated outside because I am so overwhelmed with the noise, so are my kids.

I came to try after seeing good reviews. I was only interested in their vietnamese coffee and it wasn't what I was expecting. There is a hint of burnt after taste and weird sweetness. Its not as strong and a little too sweet for my liking. The store is cute, chill and pretty inviting. Its clean and has Wi-Fi, makes it easy to study or work.

I've been to the elk grove location 5 star in everything & yesterday was my first time coming to this location. I was super excited because this location has more food options, cashier was super rude, I asked about a menu item her response was "the menu is right there i don't know everything on the menu" it was 1 question though. Food was amazing! Drinks were amazing! Updating my review. I came in on a Tuesday, ordered ahead through doordash & the young lady that was working was super sweet & kind.

My wife suggested we come here for brunch on a Saturday. The weather was perfect so sitting outside was pleasant. We ordered off of the self-serve iPad and we both got the 18 G coffee. My son ordered the Thai tea but unfortunately they were out of Thai tea so he had to get chocolate milk. I ordered the loco Moco. My wife ordered the KFC sandwich and my son ordered the French toast with Nutella filling. The French toast was so good. It was super crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside with fresh made whipped cream and fresh fruit. It was so delicious. My wife's KFC sando was so good. The potatoes were perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside on my loco Moco. Everyone liked it and we all ended up sharing it. The coffee was strong but not overpowering. Everything was delicious. I was super impressed
