It was super quiet on a Saturday at 6pm. Come to this restaurant!!!! It was so yum and the people were so sweet.“

“Always a great experience!! My son and I come here for a special treat and mother son time. My son is 18, so I truly cherish these times. Juicy J's is amazing!! It's quiet, a great place to study. We get the PB&J Bowl with all the fixings. Truly Delicious!! YOU MUST TRY IT!!“

“Home Nutrition is my favorite spot to pick up a quick healthy lunch or dinner. Always super friendly and appreciative of my business. Charnell always knows what I want and has it ready when I walk through the doors. NOW that's excellent customer service!!!“

“The kind woman who owns Cafe Zin is extraordinary. Her warmth and caring personality envelope her store and upon entering her space one is greeted with peace and quiet like a gentle hug of white noise. I asked her for a tarot card reading and she sweetly obliged but her council was so much more. She tapped into hidden things that she could never have known. Blew mine and my daughter’s mind. And we were thrilled before departing her wonderful company, that we both received hugs. Truly a heartfelt and touching experience for us.“

“We celebrated my wife's 70th birthday here with a large surprise❤ party. Jory and his crew were wonderful to work with and the food, service, view, and vibe were wonderful! This is a fantastic place to come party or enjoy the view while you eat and play board games! (They have lots!)“

“Just purchased a splash pad for my kids among other things cashier that helped me was very friendly was a great customer service was in and out for how packed and busy they were 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“I have had the pleasure of visiting Little Sparrow Cafe today, and it was a great experience. Their espresso beverages are top-notch: rich, smooth, and expertly crafted with rather unique flavors. What also stood out were their unique soda options; the variety added a delightful twist to the usual café offerings. Service was impressively fast and courteous, making the visit even more enjoyable. The menu is extensive, catering to a wide range of tastes, and everything I tried was delicious. The cozy atmosphere of the cafe adds to its charm, making it a perfect spot to relax and savor quality food and drinks. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

I didn't try any of their food items, but it seems like they have a few interesting things on their menu.“

“Finally had lunch here with a friend after having driven past this place many times. We shared the largest charcuterie board (could feed 4 people) and it was beautiful and delicious! We definitely left with extras. We both got a Thai Tea and were pleased with them. I will be going back here and telling everyone about it. It's a lovely local business with a great atmosphere and lovely employees. If you're looking for a nice place to go have a lunch that will make you feel good, I'd definitely recommend it!“

“exelente lugar..muy rico y tranquilo lugar“

“Highly recommend! We stopped in after a long day in the car. Staff were all great! Server did a great job on food recommendations and customer service! Shout out to NOAH for the amazing milkshakes!!“

“friendly staff, great service,love the coffee“

“Best brevé latté, everyone is super friendly, they all know my regular order! Prices are most excellent! My go to place! Yay!🥳“

“Frustrated with the Masthead location. I work in the building and hours say open 7am to 3pm, but they don't open until between 10:30 and 11:00--would love to be able to get breakfast. Also, full menu is never available, just a handful of lunch items. Been told numerous times "full menu is coming", but it's been months. C'mon guys...“

“Delicious and unique dishes! Tasty mimosas too!“

“This is a Starbucks inside sandia casino. Nothing special. So even if Starbucks is closed they remain open. This was the only coffee shop I found open on Christmas Day so that’s the bright side. Reduce your expectations to Starbucks level and you won’t be disappointed.I did roam around having trouble finding this place but don’t be like me and just ask the security as soon as you enter if you’re going here just for coffee.“

“This cafe is a hidden gem, and has been around for close to three decades. Fresh, local pastries, bagels, and burritos compliment a variety of handcrafted beverages ranging from locally-roasted espresso to Red Bull infused with a range of flavors. The staff are a great and friendly team that all take pride in every drink. They even have a loyalty card!“

“Accommodating, cute, affordable, and amazing service!“

“I went in yesterday and tried the Raspberry Lemon Tart. I am diabetic and don't usually eat sweets. Worth it 10000% The staff is friendly, and the food is good also.“

“The delightful and talented woman runs a well oiled kitchen. Her specials , if one is lucky enough to match your visit with one is always a good bet. As others have said, a fun place for a breakfast or lunch. Grab a ball cap or tee shirt downstairs no your way out.“

“amazing brunch service! went here with a friend and had the French toast- which I highly recommend. Decently priced too!“

“We had breakfast here this morning and I just wanted to write a review of a young man who served us named Miles . Absolute best customer service we have had in a long time . He Checked on us a few times asks us if there was anything we needed . Very kind and very polite ! Kudos to him . On another note . Please bring back your original cheese danishes“

“Ashley and Brandy absolutely knocked it out of the park. The food was perfectly cooked and presented, and you can tell real effort went into every detail. On top of that, their service was incredibly gracious and genuine—they made everything feel easy and enjoyable. I’d gladly come back just for the experience they created.“

“Had an amazing dinner here in October. Ambiance on the outdoor patio was relaxing, the Mexican food was delicious and authentic, drinks were great, and our server, Dougie, was friendly and offered just the right amount of attentiveness. A bonus was being able to have our pup sit under the table and relax, too. That’s very welcome when you’re traveling with a pet and can’t leave him in hotel or car. Great place!“

“Tried Curious Toast for the first time, had the Toasty Elote, and it was great! Will be back!“

“Come on down and support The Downs!! Great place to chill or whatever you desire👍🏼“

“Their service here is top tier. Every time I've visited, everyone is so kind and has great energy. This time I mentioned not loving my drink last time & was told to always let them know if I don't like it so they can remake it!? LOVE that. Special shout out to Jonathan at this location - dude has great vibes and double checked that I liked my drink before I drove off. Thanks guys! You've taken over as my favorite coffee stop on my way to school.“

“One of the OG's here in the Q. Splendid Seasonal drinks. Always bright! 4.5 stars in my book. Reading new menus every season is nice! Boba quality and customet service has varied since this place first opened but its still an excellent spot for chill hangouts. Kid friendly. Just make sure they chew the boba a lot lest it gets stuck. They don't have usable public restrooms otherwise this would be a 5.“

“Better than the reviews! I hesitated to eat here with the low rated reviews before me, but I’m glad I decided to try it anyway. The service was pleasant and timely, and the vegetable omelet was amazing! I will come back for wine and desserts next time!“

“bacon and egg wrap and also love the Madagascar cold Brew“
