Overrated. Ordered to-go. Customer service wasn't great. After getting my chai, I was told to stand in front of the main entrance area to wait for my food and it was awkward as I was blocking traffic and had to move around to let people through. The same worker also asked me what I was waiting for. Hot Chai latte tastes weird. Pancakes have no flavor, and I'm not sure how that's possible. You'll have to drown it in syrup to actually enjoy it. Huevos rancheros was under seasoned. For what you pay here, the dishes are underwhelming and not worth the price.

Food is average and very expensive. The default tip is 18%, and there's no table service.

I’ve been a handful of times. Today was no different. I love their options - how they have wine & beer, AND cocktails if you’re feeling a little spunky.

Today I ordered a dine-in cortado (hot), and set of (2) beef empanadas, big slice of their honey cake, and the seasonal cardamom latte w/ orange zest (hot) to-go. All so delicious!!!

The staff were friendly, efficient, chill~
Yes, the tip thing can be “annoying” but there is a way to put a custom tip haha (in response to another reviewer).. it may be a bit “hidden” at first, but no one is forced to tip. 18% just happens to be the minimum.

Last time I visited (last summer I think!?):
When I tell you I was pleasantly surprised to see Pisco Sour (I believe) on their cocktail menu… it was middle of the day but I ordered it 🤷🏻‍♀️ called “Touch of Perú” on their menu

Today: ngl the cortado caught me off guard (I think that was my first…) but it was the perfect hot & strong beverage for a cold *** day like today! Ambiance was nice, per usual. Bathrooms were clean, per usual. I will say, I did feel a bit cramped / my conversation didn’t feel intimate at times, but not much to do about that. They clearly have tables spaced in a way that maximizes the dining area

Latte art was so cute :) and I like how they have a water station ~ their dessert selection was nice. I didn’t see a huge range of pastries though but they still looked delicious

Didn’t get photos of my honey cake, cardamom latte, nor empanadas, but here are the cortado and friend’s matcha latte!

It's great to have a fun breakfast place right around the corner with good cappuccino and good pancakes!

On my birthday, we went there for coffee in the morning. Everything we ordered was good except the macrons, which felt a little old.

Went there for coffee n cake. Cappuccino was nice. $9 Tiramisu was nicely presented but felt a little too sweet!! Just about enough seating. They sell JN merchandise, too. Friendly staff. Very clean. Nicely decorated seasonally.

This place is great. I love the spinach and cheese croissants they have. Fresh, buttery, and tasty. Their steak and truffle fries are also great here. Mine was cooked perfectly medium. I will definitely be returning!

I really liked this place but the only thing from keeping me from coming back more often is the quantity of food for the price. The breakfast sandwich is great but there are no sides to accompany it and I just can't justify spending that much when I have a craving for it. Tough times! The inside is nicely taken care of and the staff are friendly. I think I would prefer coming here for lunch instead of breakfast but have not yet tried that.

Parking: It's Kentlands, so depending on when you go it might be difficult to find parking, but there are so many lots and short walks to any of the shops so I dont find it ever really that difficult to park anywhere in Kentlands.

The GF key lime pie was great.

The specialty lattes are the best I’ve had in the area. I’ve also tried their arepa which was good. The decor is nice as well.
