I love Ancora, honestly I have never had a bad experience there. We were on our way home from the airport and ordered some food to go one of which was a bowl of soup and decided to add tofu to it. I have to say for a “bowl” of soup I am really disappointed. Paid an extra $1.50 for 4 small squares of tofu. Please just do better.

I’ve been to the university location, but I have to say I prefer this location better.It’s stroller friendly! And I’ve come here with my little one before.Anyway, the food, pastries are always delicious at Ancora.Their matcha honey latte is delicious.I’ve had their Hella Stella Sandwich obviously! I’ve also had the eggs Benedict and they’re SO good

Friendly service, open, comfortable space. Decent menu. I had the breakfast burrito with sausage, no need for a side, very filling and delicious. Coffee is good and strong. Over all positive experience, will

It was my first time here it looked very clean and nice inside. Staff was nice. I gave you a three stars because although my latte was good i also order a breakfast burrito with no black beans but it had black beans and i couldnt eat it. It was my only time i had to eat as a school bus driver and i was very hungry all day.

The food was good but a bit expensive I feel. The service was amazing ?? ? and the atmosphere was okay. The music was very loud and I could barely hear my companion over it.

This is my favorite ancora location, though I probably go to the king street one most. Love the shopping center, really cute inside.

Excellent food and timely service. The Chorizo Hash (shown) was so tasty and the coffee was well brewed. Atmosphere was nice clean with modern and new furniture

I've been to Ancora several times but I'm writing specifically about the savory caramelized onion and Gouda danish. It was amazing. I also got the cold brew that was simple and refreshing. I will be back tomorrow because now I'm obsessed. The customer service was outstanding and restaurant was cute and clean. What a nice addition to the East side.

Quite good food, love the avocado toast! welcoming staff & fun seasonal coffee.Vegetarian options: Limited but delicious vegetarian & vegan selections. Fantastic avocado toast with the little extras that make it sing - peppitas, Brussels sprouts, nice presentation & satisfying dish.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of homey, simple classics for kids: bagel, grilled cheese, oatmeal, pastry, & smoothies. Mellow, casual, family - friendly atmosphere
