What a neat little nook? Did they just open? How come no one knows about this place?
Just beyond the little gate and ramp entry lies a cute little intimate cafe. To give credit where credit is due, they did a decent job decorating this white box interior. The interior decor is minimal...a handful of wooded table sets, a smattering of plants, and few local artisan goods for sale, but it helps that natural light FLOODS the place.
On my visit, the service was great. The staff was helpful in helping me select an entree. I appreciate the fact that they have vegan options. I ended up ordering the following (about $23 worth of goodies.)
Cortado with cardamom vanilla- on my subjective coffee scale that no one asked for I'd say it's pretty good on s scale of "is this even caffeine", to "I'll order another before I leave". The cardamom vanilla was subtle.
Noon panir (paneer)- what a sweet and savory treat! Freshly made Id surely order this again as a light snack.
The bun b banh mi- one of the sandwiches of the month, this Barbacoa banh mi was certainly an interesting choice. The fried jalepenos and spicy mayo really make the sandwich. Personally, I'm not a banh mi purist, but I was not a fan of their bread choice, I prefer a toasty exterior and pillowy hollowed out interior. Their choice instead too closely mirrors a hotdog bun and overall I felt there was too much bread, Although I would love more flavoring in the Barbacoa, the flavors were nice, and overall this is certainly a unique take on a banh mi.
Pro tip for first timers- parking is behind the building in designated spots (don't park in the spots reserved for the paint and body shop).
