5/5 - A vibe, a flavor trip, and a little slice of aesthetic heaven
I finally visited About Time, and wow--why did I wait this long? Tucked in a corner that feels like a secret haven for creatives and college goers, this cafe nails the trifecta: ambiance, flavor, and that "I could stay here all day" kind of energy.
The moment you walk in, you feel like you've entered a Pinterest board brought to life. Earthy tones, cozy seating, students and freelancers tucked into corners with headphones and matcha lattes, and just the right level of indie acoustic music playing in the background. It's effortlessly cool--like the kind of place you casually mention in conversation just to sound in-the-know.
Let's talk drinks:
I tried the Pistachio Latte and Tiramisu Latte (both iced, because let's be honest--iced is a lifestyle). The pistachio was silky, subtly nutty, and not overly sweet. It felt indulgent without being heavy. But the real showstopper? That tiramisu latte. It had the perfect balance of espresso bitterness and creamy sweetness, with a hint of cocoa that made it taste like dessert in a cup. I could drink it daily and still crave it.
Food-wise, the Tuna Melt Sandwich was exactly what you want on a chill afternoon--crispy bread, warm, cheesy, savory filling, and served hot enough to satisfy every comfort food craving. I also ordered the Avocado Toast, and this is not your basic brunch toast. Think perfectly ripe avocado, a sprinkle of chili flakes, a dash of lemon, maybe even a drizzle of olive oil--it's fresh, flavorful, and plated like they knew you were going to post it.
Now the dessert: the cheesecake came beautifully packaged, almost too pretty to eat (almost). Dense, rich, with that melt-in-your-mouth creaminess that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. It was that good. Whether you're grabbing it to-go or eating in, it feels like a little indulgent gift to yourself.
This place clearly understands its audience--college students, remote workers, and coffee lovers who appreciate the details. You come for the coffee, but stay for the vibe, the food, and the feeling that you just found your new favorite spot.
10/10 recommend. It's About Time you checked it out too.
