Went there after my gym date. Could either order at the kiosk or talk to the cashier. My date and i both got the Scramble and then sat down. Only two other people were in the restaurant. The tables needed wiping and seeing as the cashier was just standing around before we walked in, I'm sure they could've done so. The wait to get our food wasnt long. They brought it out to us and it was absolutely delicious and filling. Loved it but def needs a bit of work.

This was a random pick by the hubbie, and he did a great job! We live close by to the Cottle location, but never thought to try it until now. We actually enjoyed it so much we had it 2 days in a row, but it was at a different location.

This location is very spacious. There are a good amount of seating in the back where you can see the buns being made in-house. You can choose to order with the staff or if they’re tied up there is an ordering kiosk. As a first time customer, I preferred the kiosk because it shows all the options for customizations, whereas the menu just tells you items as is.

We ordered the breakfast burger and the chic burger both with spicy mayo, spicy ketchup, and without arugula. The hubbie ordered a cold brew and I had the pineapple cucumber green tea with 70% sweet and light ice.

Mentioned earlier that the buns are made in-house, they are SO spectacular!! I still dream about the bread even now (lol!). Super soft and lightly toasted, complimented the proteins and sauces very well. The breakfast burger had well rounded flavors, it did not taste lacking. The flavors weren’t impactful like a punch in your face, but a nice blend of flavors, which I appreciated. You can always ask for extra sauce or on the side on top of what is already in the burger for more flavors. This burger was 5 stars for us.

The chicken is cooked similar to Taiwanese style popcorn chicken, and I’m not mad about it. The patty was huge and stuck out from beneath the buns, so they’re not stingy with the protein. The seasoning, however, was uneven so parts of the chicken were bland and parts were flavored. The chicken was juicy.

The cold brew the hubbie said was average. Something he’d order if he was there for convenience, but wouldn’t go out of his way to go there just for the coffee. The pineapple cucumber green tea is refreshing, but it was also average.

Bottom line: 4.7 stars. The buns are bomb! Good portions. Very appetizing, and we’ll for sure be back!

Space is better and comfortable, parking is easy .

Sandwiches - Ultimate Sando (cheddar cheese instead of pepper jack cheese) and Side Chic

Coffee - Egghead Café Latte (hazelnut, cold) and Egghead Café Latte (caramel, cold, espresso)

Visited on a Saturday for brunch. As you enter, you can order yourself at the kiosk if no cashier is present/available. Being my first time visiting, I opted for kiosk to review the menu and take my time in placing an order.

The place was about 1/4 filled, and we had no problem finding seating. Seating is open seating and all indoor, no outdoor options.

Two things that really stood out quickly: 1. It was too cold inside for the temperature outside.
2. Tables were not cleaned/wiped down.

We were provided a number on the receipt, and I did receive a text message when the food was ready, but the staff brought the order to us.

The prices are a bit high, in my opinion, but they were super filling.

The Ultimate Sando was tasty, and my only comment is that I wished it had more chive and onion flavor. The house sauce overpowered those flavors.

The Side Chick was delicious, and all items went well together.

Both coffees were really good. They are made with the house pour-over coffee, SO, if you need a little more kick of caffeine, add espresso. Made such a GOOD difference.

I can honestly say that I enjoyed the coffee more than the sandwich, but I would like to try some of their other options.

Parking: This part of the shopping complex isn't normally busy, and you shouldn't have issues finding parking.

The place is located in a not so busy complex with plenty of parking all around

The kiosk is the only place to order , which sends a text to phone about your order .

The service is super quick

The place is aesthetically pleasing & the menu offers a good variety

The sausage & cage free eggs breakfast sandwich was amazing & definitely great quality . It doesn’t feel frozen

Vegetarian options: Not a go to spot for veggies

Dietary restrictions: The place mainly serves sandwiches , mostly with meat as protein . With cheese , you can choose to not have meat or cheese but hard to avoid meat gluten cheese & get something vegan here

Parking: Lots of parking everywhere , this is in a complex which is not very busy

Kid-friendliness: Pretty kid friendly . However - not a go to spot for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs , easy access to all .

I really like this place. I remember waiting in a long line for the earlier location in Cupertino and loved them then. This location is very well kept, very clean, and the decor inside is adorable. I don’t recommend some of their tea drinks though, the last hojicha and chai drinks I got were both bitter as if the flavor syrups were old. Sandwiches are very solid, big portions for breakfast and I don’t think they are very mobile and eat friendly. If you are a light morning eater, definitely plan to share one with a friend.

Parking: Lots of parking in the plaza, especially away from 24 Hour Fitness

I usually love coming here but today we ordered a boba drink and an apple juice and a chocolate milk, it took 15 minutes for them to come out! And the boba was rock hard because it didn’t cook long enough. Maybe the ac was broken because it was sweltering inside. Was hoping for a cool drink and ac to take a break from the heat outside but this was a bad choice.

This place is cute, but was not impressed by the food. The chic sandwich was not good. The fried chicken was like two thighs put together and was difficult to eat. Completely fell apart. Maybe some of the other items are better.

Overall, my experience at this café was positive, earning it a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The coffee quality was consistently good, and I particularly enjoyed the "ultimate sando" sandwich.
However, there were some aspects of the service that could be improved.
During my first visit, the service seemed somewhat unfriendly, lacking basic greetings. On my second visit, while the service was friendlier, it appeared overwhelmed by the volume of orders. The system of calling out orders by number proved ineffective, especially for patrons seated further away.
Despite these issues, I believe in the potential of this establishment and hope they take this feedback as an opportunity to enhance their service quality.
