Delicious food definitely coming back
Has a great savory breakfast hash option with vegan sausage and plant based milk for coffee.
I went in there because it's advertised as a cafe and bakery. `It's really more of a cafe with some baked goods. I ordered two blueberry muffins to go, and it came to $8. I honestly didn't even look in the bag until I got back to my hotel. You can see the size of their $4 muffin, and in the other picture you can see that it looks blue(?) on the inside. That is the extent of the 'blueberry' in their blueberry muffin. It really had no flavor to speak of, and certainly nothing remotely related to blueberries. I can't say anything about the cafe aspect, but I don't hold out much hope.
I've been going to this location for years, and the quality of everything has gone downhill. The avocado toast used to be $9 and stacked with avocado so it was worth it. However, it's now $13 and you get hardly any avocado; it was thinly spread on like butter on toast. I paid $30 for some lame avocado toast, 2 (COLD) scrambled eggs, and a small lavender lemonade. The eggs were straight up cold like they were sitting out for 30 minutes. I placed my order online and was scheduled to pick up my food at 12:00pm for my lunch break. My food wasn't ready until 12:25, so half of my lunch break was waiting on my to-go order that I placed online in advance specifically so that doesn't happen. I keep giving Avalon chances but this was my final attempt.
For over a decade I've loved Avalon. They have fantastic vegan options from bread to sweets and much more. The service is always great and the ingredients are clearly quality.
Cool place. Staff was nice but food was mid and a little on the pricey side for what it was.
This place has a stupid club atmosphere for a brunch coffee shop. Music way too loud for 1030am. Coffee tastes like literal poop from a butt. Employees were super nice though. Paid $45 for 2 drinks and two chicken sausage egg and cheese sandwiches. Food came out cold, and it was just okay. Would not come back even if it was free.
Vegan options clearly labeled! Good toast, on the saltier side
Love this place. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing.

I don’t know why people are saying the avocado toast is the only vegan option. They have an amazing vegan breakfast hash that is really flavorful and super filling. I took a screenshot of the item via their online ordering so everyone can see the ingredients. The staff was very friendly and accommodating with my order of the hash with no mushrooms. My partner had it as is. Seriously, give it a try. It is a great breakfast!
This was so good I loved it!

Basically I waited last for my food and I was the first person in line at the restaurant so I’m kinda disappointed and on top of that their attitudes seemed a lil racist and snooty so yea it’s a no for me

Ordered a brunch burger. “Served with a side of hollandaise”
Burger comes.. with no hollandaise.
Asked the expo, and she said “I checked, we don’t have that anymore”
Real bummer, cause the burger was great (could have been outstanding) - but I ordered it specifically for the sauce, and am super disappointed to be paying food cost for a sauce they don’t have.
