“Stopped by Yeti Cafe on a Thursday morning while passing through and grabbed two vegan breakfast sandwiches.

I preordered and paid online with a 9:35 a.m. pickup time. Parking was super easy with free covered parking right across the street for up to an hour, which was a nice bonus.

Walking inside, my first thought was how cool the space is. I loved the aesthetic. It's bright, fun, and has a really great vibe. There are tables inside if you're waiting, plus outdoor seating, and the market across the street looks like a great place to wander before or after your meal.

My order wasn't ready until about 9:45, around 10 minutes later than scheduled. It wasn't a huge deal for me because I wasn't in a rush, but one of the reasons I preorder is when I'm heading somewhere on a schedule. A 10 minute delay can throw off your whole morning. They also weren't very busy, and nobody really acknowledged the delay. Nothing rude at all, just not much urgency. I'd suggest giving yourself an extra 10 to 15 minutes beyond the pickup time if you need to be somewhere.

Now for the food... wow.

The vegan breakfast sandwich was incredible. Perfectly toasted sesame bagel, vegan egg, vegan sausage, aioli, pickled onions, and just the right amount of hot sauce. The spice level was spot on for me, but if you don't like any heat, you may want to choose something else.

The only other thing worth mentioning is the price. Two breakfast bagel sandwiches came to $31 after tax, which definitely made me wince a little. I understand food costs are high right now, but it's still a pricey breakfast.

That said... I'd absolutely go back.

Even with the wait and the higher price, the food was just that good.

Overall, I'd give my experience a solid **9.5/10**. Amazing food, a really fun brand, a beautiful space, and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.“

I usually just get Thunder Peel, which I find really consistently gets a good espresso on my machine - my preference is for beans that are 14 to 28 days after roast date, but in Covid times I’m less picky! 😂“
