    If you avoid the crowds this place is totally worth going. Indoor outdoor seating. Yummy pastries. The best grilled cheese. And I love their snickers mocha. They have wifi too.

    The fully loaded hash browns are only $0.50 more than than the plain hash browns and come with cheddar cheese, sour cream and pico de gallo.

    Avoid the lunch crowd if possible. Order the mint lemonade. Get the eggs florentine if you want something light, yet super filling. (does that make sense?)

    I had the peanut butter and chocolate blondie (brownie) which was good, dense and a bit moist. The large Latte is literally LARGE! :) (and was good as well)

    The Breakfast Fruit Plate is no joke. Good quantity and quality strawberries, blueberries, bananas, grapes, pineapple, watermelon, melons, and yogurt.

    Grilled cheese nights are Tues 6-10 though I have not had time to try! They are different every week and come on brioche! Owner is a nice lady.

    Love the outdoor patio covered in greenery. The honey latte was a little too sweet. Love how much space there is but not a fan of having to pay for wifi.

    Great chill atmosphere. Yummy coffee. Lots of spaces to sit and work. And most importantly, electrical outlets!

    Lots of outlets, reasonable wifi speeds, and they're open late. Much better than fighting for seats, slow wifi, and bad coffee at Starbucks. Go for the latte

    Great spot for caffeine, food or even some drinks. Dress warm though, they usually have the AC blasting for some reason.

    While their tomato soup is an overall pretty good option, it tastes like it has way more salt than necessary. That said, they have an excellent, well-chopped kale salad.

    There are so many options for breakfast! And we finished with a mini fruit tart, quite generous in size.

    This has been a regular spot for me for almost 2 years. They have a GREAT mocha! Red velvet pancakes on the weekend are a treat

    Generally a great place to grab breakfast. Stick with the classics...breakfast burrito, taco, sandwich...the prosciutto Benedict was very disappointing.

    They haven't figured out how to install a doorstop at the back patio. Be prepared for bombs exploding when the screen door opens and closes.

    I used to go here when I lived closer so when Garick suggested a meeting here, was happy to do so. Great vibe, nice menu selections, and interesting people working & dining.

    Burger, churros w darker chocolate sauce request, thai salad if you're in the mood for greens. It's all good, actually, except the crabcakes (unless you like southwestern style)

    The Walnut & Chocolate Chip cookie is amazing. It's in the same ballpark as the Doubletree's cookies.

    Great place with lighter food and breakfasts. Free Wifi, but gets very crowded during lunch hours...try coming around 3 or 4 for a snack and get caught up on your blog...

    The food was great (Chicken Pesto and Tortilla soup) but the service was awful. Limited staff. There are also way too many just sitting around w/ their laptops. Get a life, people.

    If you come during the day and don't want to pay for parking, find a spot on Texas Ave. a block away across from Literati.

    This place has an amazing environment for studying or working. Food quality here is okay and can shift from okay to questionable.

    This place is pretty posh. They have two sections and you can't really switch between the cafe part and the sit down breakfast area.

    Try the housemade chocolate chip banana bread at the cafe or the cinnamon roll at the Bar & Grill. Both are amazing. Especially with a pot of coffee.

    Delicious food and great presentation, but brace yourself for the wait and slow service (on the restaurant side). Don't go there hungry or you'll get grumpy.

    Park in the Ralphs parking lot and hustle through the supermarket out the other door if you're cheap and don't want to shell out money for valet. :P
