“Vesta Chocolate is such a wonderful spot! Everything tastes incredibly fresh and delicious, and you can really appreciate the quality of their chocolate. Their drinks are excellent, especially the authentic hot chocolate, which is rich, smooth, and full of real chocolate flavor. Such a lovely place to enjoy a delicious treat. Definitely worth a visit!“

“so great here. here’s a picture of the iced matcha they do. pretty sweet, and mixed well (the milk, the matcha, and the sweetener they use).
i’ve tried a lot of matcha in my life, and this dunkin’ does a pretty good job at rivaling some of the better ones i’ve had. can’t complain.

i’m a regular here. every week, i always get a sec (sausage, egg, and cheese), and a medium iced matcha latte with which to pair, before flipping my laptop open to do some work. perfect combo, might i add. and, the environment is great for working: not too noisy, and lots of tables and OUTLETS, most importantly. can’t forget the outlets.

the staff is super nice, too. service, impeccable. sec, beautifully melted with ooey gooey cheese. matcha, tasty. refreshing, even…

great, great, great. super good.“

“I live in the area and attend college out of town so getting to the library on my off days is tough. I've been looking for a place with a chill ambiance, wifi, good tea, and coffee. Well, look no more for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Great rustic look, comfy seating with back support, loads of outlets for laptops, and the second-floor space are super cute and cozy too. Oh and there's a small little outside area that's pretty cool as well. Shaquille (hope I spelled it right) was AMAZING! So down-to-earth, friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She made me the Tumeric latte for me and I all but licked the cup clean. I had the hummus & cucumber on sourdough toast and it was divine. Also, a great option for vegans. I totally recommend this place if you have similar needs or just want to hang out with some friends. I will surely be going back.“

“I simply LOVE this place. It not only has the best vegan sandwiches and desserts, the hospitality is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing bad is that they are 45 minutes from me. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I would be going more often. I'm hoping one day they will become a franchise. I would definitely want to open a How Delish! ❤️“

“Decent fast casual vietnamese spot. Is it super authentic? Not really. But its good for what it is and being the only vietnamese spot in the area. I've gotten take out a couple times and the banh mi's bread were quite soft and a bit soggy so I had to throw it back in the air fryer. And the pho were very small portions with 4 pieces of thin meat. Other than that, they're quick and friendly with their service.“

“Great overall experience and the Energy in the water, the people and the atmosphere is OFF the charts!!!🎉🎉🎉“

“Me and my daughter came in for free ice cream promotion, expecting a tiny sample but was given a decent size ice cream cup. It was delicious cotton candy dots. George was extremely friendly. The atmosphere is very relaxing. We will definitely be back.“

“We pulled off the highway for a coffee and stumbled upon this gem. The pastry menu is filled with unique items and great flavor combinations. I had the ube pan de sal and the Kashmir cardamom latte with oat milk. I absolutely love both! The location seemed surprising at first, it’s located in a larger office complex, but inside it feels comfortable with warm lighting and plenty of seating. They also sell records and prepared wraps and desserts. Check it out if you’re in the area! I will be sure to stop by next time I’m passing through.“

“Excellent coffee (and they have almond milk, yay!) and their chocolate rugalah is to die for! 😋“

“Best Gluten Free pizza you will find. Reminds Me of the days before I was diagnosed with Celiac, I will be back for more“

“Amazing Amazing place! Totally recommend this place!“

“Great breakfast sandwich! Many to choose from. Nice employees/owners. Quick service. Able to sit down and eat but they don't have typical table service. Small space but multiple tables. More of a quick breakfast rather than a full service sit down meal but if you're on the run, the sandwiches are delicious and this is the place to go. I'm going to be back in town next month and already know what I will have.“

“This is one of my favorites for a iced decaf latte that doesn't taste watered down or less of a normal iced latte. The croissants, especially the raspberry croissant is fresh with a soft crisp. The space is nice and outdoor tables a huge plus.“

“Cozy cool spot to hang out and really dig in to experimental coffee culture. You might expect this spot to be pretentious but, not at all. Warm, friendly, and seriously coffee focused with just enough munchies to justify more than one cup. A great find for coffee fiends and foodies alike.

The barister (coffee bar tender) took me on a beautiful adventure in a flight sampling of their cold brews. I've tasted coffee all over the US and a bit internationally and I've never tasted anything like this! (Apparently because I've never been to Japan) The Kyoto Japanese cold brew is a trip for your tastebuds. First a punch in the face then softly floral, herby, and a little funky with a sweet finish.

I had come for the masala chai which had been highly recommended and, let me tell you, I was not disappointed! DELICIOUS!

I was searching for breakfast when I walked in... and they do have muffins and pastries, but I opted for the City Hall roastbeef sandwich. Oh my was she a beauty! And yummy!

Highly recommend this neighborhood gem.“

“I feel so lucky to have this place just a short walk from my house. I come here almost every day for my coffee and they truly never disappoint! It has easily become one of my favorite little neighborhood spots. I was so happy when they started serving sandwiches too. I tried the caprese sandwich and it was absolutely delicious! Great coffee, great food, and always such a nice place to stop by.“

“Enjoyed the best coffee and pumpkin bread in this lovely coffee shop run by a fantastic staff!“

“Wow. Ordered through Ubereats and was NOT expecting to get a magical latte. It was a perfect balance of sweet, savory and frothy. I literally cannot stop thinking about how I fell upon this place over an app to fulfill an impulsive caffeine craving. This exceeded my expectations and raised my bar for lattes. I got the pistachio latte w/ coconut milk and vanilla foam.“

“awesome food friendly owner“

“I had such a lovely experience at Blue Ridge! One of the owners, Denisse, took care of me and was incredibly warm and welcoming. She shared that it’s a family-owned business, which makes the atmosphere feel even more special.

I tried the iced latte, made with excellent-quality coffee, as well as the chocolate chip banana muffin and the chocolate cake. Both were absolutely delicious, gluten-free, and baked by Denisse herself. The shop is spotless, conveniently located, and clearly run with a lot of care. I highly recommend it!“

“Amazing coffee shop!“

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement“

“Great coffee, We stopped at Roast’d coffee shop before heading to NYC, great experience; the pour over coffee was fantastic. Johan was quite friendly explaining different coffee beans as he roasted them and brews the coffee. I tried the espresso as well brewed from 3 different beans, very tasty. Now this is our favorite place to have coffee when traveling to NYC. We talked with local customers, so good vibes and recommendations. Awesome place if you love good coffee.“

“7 scoops has the best ice cream and it is reasonably priced! The staff is so friendly and helpful as well. Orla is fantastic! I highly recommend 7 scoops!“

“Best sushi / sashimi / poke / boba & everything else on the menu on this side of the Mississippi, actually probably both sides of the Mississippi honestly.
I’ve eaten at many similar style places all over the tri-state area, nothing beats Poke Express

Gina & Tony are the best“
