As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the friendly staff and seated right away. A great start to an even better meal! My fiancèe and I ordered the Honeymoon latte (vanilla latte sweetened with honey) and a Dirty Chai to start, both were super delicious, beautiful and handcrafted to perfection. For our meals my fiancèe ordered the Beefee Benedict which is served with Kufta (think Mediterranean "meatloaf" with robust herbs and spices) and a house blend cheese on top of English muffins and a made from scratch Hollandaise sauce. And I had ordered the Shakshuka "Special" which is on the regular menu, that's just how they named this dish and that comes with grilled onions and peppers, Kufta, two sunny side eggs in a rich and perfectly acidic tomato puree and houseblend cheese with a house made Bread dome on top of the whole dish. Delicious is an understatement, the food, the drinks the atmosphere, I mean everything fit so prefect. They have a little taste of different cultures and offer healthy alternatives and everything is made in house and I could not say anything bad about this place. 10 out of 10 recommend and we will definitely be coming back to try other amazing dishes.

The service was really good and all of the waitresses were super accommodating, however the wait times were ridiculous and the food is honestly some of the worst and heaviest I've ever had, tasting old and dry. I got a regular and chocolate crossaint that didn’treally taste like anything besides heaps of nutella. I also got an iced matcha that was chalky, and a latte didn’t seem to have any coffee in it. I wouldn't reccomend it, especially considering the high prices.

The only thing that I hate is that it took this long for me to try this place. The food here is really good! I tried the khachupuri and shakshuka and they both were excellent. I will try the khachupri with kielbasa next time I go. The bread is served hot and it is soft and delicious. The service was excellent. This is a place I will be returning to.

This place is such a great place for coffee and food. I couldn't wait for my next day off to go again since I work the same hours they're open. Pleasant addition to the area. The special and the puffy pancakes are currently my favorite.

I miss California food so much. Here for a wedding and I searched up a place to eat and stumbled on tappi Cafe. The Japanese pancakes were very light and didn't make me feel weighed

Been coming to this place for a while now. Love their coffee and pancakes, but our service today was horrible. Our server girl didn’t wanna take our order when we were ready and ignored us a few times we tried to call her after we got our food. Thankfully the other server saw that and took care of us, but that girl ruined this place for us.

Love this place. It's become our favorite brunch spot. My 9 year old told me this place was better than McDonald's! That's high praise ")

Best food in town!!!! The ambiance is the best brunch feeling while the food is so diverse and covers all types of foods. The waffles are amazing and the breakfast menu is very good. The kufta and eggs are tasty. The stuffed breads and menemen sausage is wow. The bread freshly made in front of you is wow also. They also have a healthy menu too for those who want that. Mimosas are so good.

Came here for a late lunch with my family and even though it was packed, we were seated right away. It's best to make a reservation as the place is small. Plenty of parking is always a plus. The ambiance is very warm. And beautifully decorated. The servers are very attentive and friendly. The reason why we chose this place and to try on the Japanese soufflé. A little disappointed that it's not a fluffy as I expected, but it was delicious. We also ordered the Tacos and some of their sandwiches, Hokaido and Osaka (not in the picture) which my 2 daughter enjoyed. And an avocado toast for my vegetarian daughter. I had the Mimosa with my Soufflé. Order the Mimosa flight. It's worth it. 2 questions that I always ask my self after a review. Will I come back to this place? Yes. Do I recommend this place? Definitely.

Hidden gem! Food was so delicious and filling and there was no wait to be seated (we went on a weekday morning though, so that could change). Benedict was amazing and the red bull infusion gave me such a great boost for my day!

Great food and service i love this place to catch up with my girls and eat yummy açaí bowls! Coffee is a stronger flavor ( vanilla latte ) but overall still very yummy. Music is great!
