Casual place to grab a cup of coffee, seating limited and parking lot view, but staff is friendly and biscuit sandwich and breakfast burrito were delicious and generous. Impressed with quality of food and coffee given limited space and staff. Always busy line but it does move.

The coffee, food, and vibe is good. But be prepared to wait a long time to get your order in. There were maybe 15-20 in front of us, and it took 45 minutes just to place the order. Over two minutes per order is excruciatingly slow.

We arrived shortly after opening and there was already a line out the door. This is typically a good sign for most any restaurant. After ordering we were able to sit at a small table and enjoy the morning rain. The service was efficient so our food arrived fairly quick for such a busy spot.

I ordered a hot London fog with Mac nut milk. It was perfect. As I sipped it it reminded me of fruity pebbles. (5 stars)

The London fog paired perfectly with the fig honey glazed scone we ordered. The scone was moist but had a great crumble to it. There were thick chunks of fig throughout the entire pastry and the honey glaze on top made the perfect balance of sweetness. (5 stars)

Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich: When it arrived the house-made buttermilk biscuit looked almost as of it had been fried and had difficulty looking appealing. After the first bite things started to improve. The egg was scrambled and well cooked while the red onions and spicy mayo added just enough extra flavor to keep it interesting. The cheddar fully covered everything and was melted so nicely. It was tasty but it was also the kind of sandwich to leave you feeling heavy. (3.5 stars)

Breakfast burrito: The burrito started off strong. The first bites were savory, cheesy and a little spicy. The dipping sauce that came with the burrito complemented all the flavors well. As the burrito progressed it became slightly overwhelming due to the excess of cheese and meat. Next time I'd skip adding the extra bacon to it. (4 stars)

Lastly the Mac and Cheese pancakes: if you like feeling as though you could pass a way from a heart attack at any moment this option could be for you. The pancakes are fully coated in fried cheese and stuffed with macaroni. After my first bite I began to feel ill. I tried several bites just in case it could get better but it didn't. These were the most overwhelming pancakes I'd ever eaten. We initially ordered them because it sounded fun and exciting. We were not prepared by any means for this. (2 stars)

Overall Morning Glass was a great experience and we'd love to go back to try more pastries and other items on their menu. We felt as though this place has a lot of great potential and maybe we just ordered the wrong things for us.

Beautiful views! The coffee is good too. Just had a normal iced latte and it was perfect! The Vietnamese iced coffee was a little sweet, but don't let that stop you from getting it. The lemon soda was tasty as well. It is sort of like a fizzy lemonade. The brown butter rice crispy was good, but nothing too special. If you like rice crispies treats, you'll like this.

5000/10 better coffee than Starbucks. You get real espresso here, so smooth and wonderful. I love their vanilla lattes. They craft amazing coffee.

They also offer hot or cold bites to eat (breakfast/lunch) and pastries which change depending on season, and are always delicious. Their calamansi lime bars are tangy sour and sweet! The molasses cookies are soft and chewy. Delicious

Parking: The building they are located in updated to a paid parking QR code system but using the QR code on the door at the coffee shop gives you two hours free.

Delicious coffee and pastries. The syrup was a bit sweet for me (I like it a lot less sweet than most people). The carrot cake was THE BEST I've ever had! Highly recommend budgeting lots of time for dine in or ordering ahead online because the line can get pretty long on weekends (~45min). Great spot!

my coffee was delicious, but I was basically kicked out for reading and enjoying my coffee at a table outside. i was invited to sit at a bench in the rain instead. very unwelcoming environment for people that just want to have a peaceful moment at a coffee shop. will not be returning

Why does it take soooooo long to get anything here!

Kevin Toledo

I was asked not so subtly asked to leave after 90 minutes seated outside. No policy was referenced other than that I should "keep office work to a minimum" . I had only just taken my laptop out 10 minutes prior and it's kind of weird to me that they would make the assumption that I'm working and tell me to leave over it.

At least invite me to buy another drink if I want to stay longer. I really don't mind, I just wanted to continue to enjoy the morning

And if there is indeed a 90 minute time limit on the tables, please post that somewhere so that I don't have to go through that kind of awkward social interaction with the staff.

Cute little neighborhood coffee shop. Breakfast sandwiches were tasty and the iced coffees hit the spot.
