We stopped by BLND Coffee Studio to get a bit of a relief from the heat, and the place was pretty busy!
Their menu is interested, as they describe themselves as a combination of 'Japanese craft with a Mexican soul', offering handcrafted drinks and Japanese bites - their menu had onigiri, sandos, omurice, and sweet-forward toasts, in addition to beverages.
We ordered:
+the Simmered Beef with Ginger onigiri
+the Mentaiko onigiri - with spicy cod roe
+a Sauteed Pork with Mole onigiri
+a Tamago Sando - with an omelette with Oaxacan cheese, cucumbers, jalapenos, and chipotle mayo
+a Guava-Yuzu Matcha Tonic with light ice
+and, an Horchata Matcha with light ice
The items were simple, and the staff were pretty friendly with all smiles and were efficient in taking the orders.
I'd like to try their sweet toasts on the next visit.
There is a handful of seating inside and some tables set up outside for those who enjoy al fresco dining.
