“Atmosphere and people watching heaven...delightful staff! love the coffee too!!“

“Don’t let the exterior fool you — this place is a gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a sweet lady (owner) and felt right at home. The place is so cozy with a peaceful jazz tune. We ordered at the register and seated ourselves.I got the tonkotsu ramen, which was good, though I added a little more salt & seasoning so I give it a 4/5. My husband got the unagi dup-bap and soft shell crab, which he both enjoyed and gave it a 5/5! The boba drinks were delicious too. Staff were so sweet and checked on us often. We left the restaurant with a full belly & full heart! Definitely recommend this spot!“

“The owner is very kind has wonderful customer service skills, makes the best coffee I’ve tasted in years she makes Starbucks look brand new! They also have the best sandwiches I recommend the roast beef sandwich without tomato for lunch prices are affordable.“

“They really have a system going on there. All the waitresses really know their stuff. I have to give a shout out to every single person that works there. Mary taught them well about great customer service.“

“This is a cute, quaint cafe with good music. We were greeted as soon as we walked in with friendly smiles. I built my own salad and my partner had the sebi. Everything was so refreshing. I was fresh off of a three-day fast and this was just what I needed. DELICIOUS. I will definitely become a regular here because I've been cleaning up my eating.“

“We had a date night here and were absolutely impressed. The Beecher’s grilled cheese and butternut squash soup was a stand out. Both of our pasta entrees were phenomenal as well. The star of the show, though, was our dessert, which was a deconstructed PB&J. I don’t think I’ve ever had something that had such a wide variety of complementary textures. It was amazing and flavorful.“

“Nice clean personal coffee shop. Highly recommend come here and study before it gets too popular. They do have large group rooms, which feels very homey, not like boring conference rooms, which can reserved. Definitely come check this place out“

The couple that runs the place are absolutely amazing human beings and every order is made made with love. Try any item on the menu, I promise you will not be disappointed. My favorite is the BLTA on sourdough or the bacon, egg and cheese breakfast burrito for breakfast. Absolutely Delicious!“

“After ordering flowers from terrible online florists who deliver old, expensive, and underwhelming bouquets, we decided to support a small business instead. So happy we did because our loved ones were stunned by the bouquet that A Rhapsody in Bloom put together.The website was easy to navigate and delivery was available starting the following day, which was amazing. The bouquet that was delivered was even better than the sample image online.Definitely felt the love that was put into the bouquet. Will definitely be ordering from here again!!“

“This is a perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon. The indoor space is spacious and inviting and the outdoor area is really well put together. I love the view of the fountain and being able to watch the golfers. The service has always been great every time I’ve gone. The baristas are attentive and friendly. I’ll be back!“

“Down home cafe vibe and food. Huge portions and tastes like grandma is cooking in the back for you. They no longer have gluten free items marked on the menu, but have plenty of options, including gluten free pancakes. I safely eat gf breakfast here at least monthly and never get sick.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“

“This is our favorite place to eat breakfast. The food is great, my favorite is the breakfast burrito. However the Quiche was wonderful and may be my new favorite! The staff are friendly and welcoming. They also serve lunch and you can’t beat their 3 course dinner specials at a great price! Highly recommended!“

“large spritzer syrup selection! great baristas! awesome drinks!“

“Bubble Island has the same friendly atmosphere as they did years ago. Their drink quality is the same. The wall is still filled with polaroids from many years ago. Even with the new owners throughout the years, it remains nostalgic to many people. Your typical smoothie/bubble tea shop.“
