The Songbird Cafe

Went here because it is near Toyota and it is also near a lot of business too. Saw a lot customers are from the hospital. Got turkey sandwich and a cold brew for lunch. Yum. Turkey slices were stack pretty high, with fresh bread and some veggies, made a good sandwich. Sandwich is pretty good size too, if you are skinny, half portion and a soup should be good enough for you. Love the vibe, very spacious, free wifi, and good value for the price.

It's a lovely cafe situated by Michigan's north campus. The prices are fair and the food is very yummy. I would recommend a breakfast sandwich and/or tea here.

The Songbird Cafe has a welcoming feel and cozy vibe. There were tables of people visiting and gathering, and other places with people working in notebooks or on devices. My husband and I stopped for breakfast. We placed our order and were assigned a table to sit at. It was just over $40 for two breakfast plates, a single coffee, and tip. I did have higher hopes for that price point than what we received - overcooked eggs, undercooked potatoes, and smucker jelly packets. Overall, an ok experience that didn’t quite match up to the price point.

The visit started out a little rocky because we had a large group and wanted to move 2 tables together but once that was settled everything was amazing ! Great food and excellent service ! A waitress even took a group photo for us ! Coming back for sure !

I had lunch here today for the first time, and unfortunately it will be my last. I ordered the pistachio turkey sandwich and it was awful. The Italian bread was dry and flavorless, the sandwich itself was very small, and the fig jam overwhelmed an already bland sandwich. It was supposed to have pistachio crumbles, but I neither saw nor tasted them. For the price, it should come with more than just 1/2 a dill pickle. I also ordered the house made chips which were just ok. For that and a diet coke, it was around $20 before tip. I wouldn't mind paying that much if it was good. Plus you have to place your order at a counter and clear your own plates. The lunch menu is pretty limited, I really wanted a salad and they didn't even have side salads. I've never been to a restaurant that doesn't have some type of green salad on the menu! I do not recommend the Songbird Cafe!

I placed a catering order for a work event and it was perfect! The individual yogurt parfaits were a great treat on the healthier side, and the bundt-style coffee cake was all I could want for a coffee cake. I was pleasantly surprised by the coffee, since I usually expect a catering version to be somewhat bad, but this tasted like I ordered a nice cup from a coffee shop. I ordered for pickup at 8am, which is when the cafe opens. The order was ready to go right when I got there, which was super nice for my own plans.

Larger size cafe with a small feel. Food is delicious & on healthy side. My hot chocolate had no sweetener & I didn't feel like grabbing any. Disappointed there was no fresh juice & price is pretty high. Spent about $30/pp on avocado toast, tofu wrap, waffle, two hot drinks, and bottled orange juice

WOW! The food was fantastic and creative (but with standby faves too), the staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, and the setting is super cozy. We loved the eco consciousness too. We will go out of our way to visit again.

Was back for a cardamom rose latte and green tea matcha muffin with candied ginger chunks. Ugh. So good! The muffin was perfection with a discernible though not to overpowering matcha flavor and the candied ginger with a sweet zing. The candied ginger works even better than the crystallized ginger on this muffin. Moist crumb and not too sweet. *chefs kiss* so happy I managed to nab the last one on a Sunday morning. Each specialty latte stands out here and the cardamom rose was just the right balance of spice, warmth and floral notes. One of my faves here. Staff was friendly and helpful as usual. Still haven't tried their food but maybe one day!

I've been to Songbird Cafe a few times as it's pretty close to where my brother lives. Most recently, Nate and I stopped in for a breakfast and to get some work done. There's a sign right on the front door that says they turn the wifi off on weekends. I've never really seen this anywhere else, so it's kind of funny to me. But it's really more of a restaurant vibe than a coffee shop/getting work done kind of place, I guess. Luckily we were there on a weekday and the wifi was sufficient for us. There is a definite lack of outlets anywhere in the dining area, though. Order at the counter, then they will assign you to a table (they have numbers on them). We got an omelette, breakfast sandwich, and a couple of coffee drinks. I was a little surprised at the prices - $14 for the omelette and almost $8 for a breakfast sandwich. I guess I'm used to lower prices in college towns but this is pretty far from campus. My latte was good and the food was okay. The omelette was a little dry and definitely needed seasoning/hot sauce (which they provided). I had some of the breakfast sandwich, that was pretty tasty but also needed some seasoning. The potatoes that came with the omelette were also under seasoned and not as tender as I would've preferred. They do have a lot of menu items and lunch options. I would probably come back but not to get work done.

Was in the area and was looking for a new lunch spot outside of my usual AA eats. After reading the reviews, I knew I had to try this place out! It's not a big place. But there are quite a few tables. It gets very busy and tables fill up quick. If you happen to snag a table, let them know at the front counter when you're placing your order. If you don't, they can assign a table to you when it's available. If you're solo like I was, there is a bar counter seating with chairs against the window. I started with the chicken tortilla soup which was really good. Then I tried the Pistachio Turkey Sandwich. The goat cheese and crunch of the apples was SO good. I also had an iced lavender latte which was really delicious! Really enjoyed the food and the ambiance. Service was really fast and everyone was very friendly! The menu looks really delicious and there are gluten-free options also!

The food was okay. We got the Phoenix breakfast sandwich, the chicken tortilla soup, and the phoenix. We also got a lavender latte to sip on as it was getting quite chilly outside. The chicken tortilla was spot on and had the spicy warm-ness I was craving. The Phoenix was a standard, delicious breakfast sandwich with some smooth aoli. That complemented everything well. However, the home style potatoes were more on the soggy side and had this underling taste of burnt oil. The chicken wrap really missed the mark with me as the flavors didn't really blend well together. The chicken was coated in this sickenly sweet honey sauce that had only a touch of gochujang taste. I totally understand what they were going for, but I did not prefer it. The latte also had way too much syrup and overpowered the coffee and milk. If they toned down the sweet levels, it would be much more my style. Service was fast and I liked that you just pay up front and can leave whenever. The ambiance was the best part of this cafe. With its large windows and chill vibe, I could see myself definitely sitting here to relax, study, or do work. I want to definitely come back and give songbird another try!

I got the BLT sandwich and a white chocolate cinnamon latte. The latte was on the sweeter side. The sandwich was good but not that big. The food is fine but the reason I come here is because my friends and I are never rushed out of here. We sit for a couple hours to catch up after months apart. I appreciate that we're never rushed.

Super pretty inside! A perfect place to take someone visiting Ann Arbor for breakfast or lunch. They have lots of coffee options which is nice. Their service is good; you order at the front, sit down and then wait to be called to grab your food. The prices are of expected for a cute ambiance cafe. I got the waffle sampler and as a picky eater I really enjoyed it! It's super cute (picture worthy) and tasted great. The bacon was cooked nicely and someone is always walking around to clean up when you're done. All in all, I would recommend this place xx

Let me start off by saying I wish I took a picture of my food. I came during the lunch break from work. My coworker suggested it to me and on my first visit, I noticed that the restaurant was filled with people who appear to enjoy their food and time spent dining with others. The menu is on a chalk board and I wish it was printed to read easier, however I understand if there are menu items that change seasonally. The wrap I ordered and ate was great and ideal for a lunch break. The prices are fair. You order and pay upfront and they will prompt you a tip option if you want to tip like most establishments now. Water is free and there is a cup plus water station by where people sit. The cashier will select your seating in the open area where you'll sit and wait for your food to be served to you. I do wish you could select your own seating then add a number tab to a pole for the people to bring the food to. Overall, a good experience for a lunch.

The coffee here is exceptional and goes on my top 5 list for Ann Arbor. I am not sure who their roaster is, but the coffee is rich in a way that is different from the rest of the local options. Their tables are numbered and you can sit down and stay a while. I've always had great service here.

The Songbird Cafe remains to be one of my favorite coffee shops and brunch places in Ann Arbor. My go-to items are the specialty, flavored lattes and any of the matcha pastries. Of the tasty latte flavors, cardamom rose, lavender, and matcha, matcha is definitely my favorite!! The brunch items are also not bad. I love the breakfast dishes and hot sandwiches, though I would say I mainly come here to pick up things to go than dine-in. There is table seating next to the coffee shop area for folks to dine in if they would prefer. There tends to be a longer line towards mid-morning so I suggest getting there earlier rather than latter to skip a long wait. There is a surface lot available lot available for parking. Sometimes the front lot gets crowded and full, but I've always found a spot behind the building. There's a small, indoor hallway you can use to cut through towards the front of the building where Songbird cafe is located. Definitely one of my staple coffee shops in town, will be back!

Food was fantastic. Service was good but we arrived at a really busy time. Still, we only had to wait about 10 minutes. There isn't a lot of room at the counter so the line snaked into the dining area. We would definitely go back.

Best Breakfast and Hot Yummy beverage! I had the Avocado toast & the Best Chai Oat milk Latte!! Oh baby!! For as long as the line was, the food and beverage came out fast! My partner had the "guac and roll" and OMG best potatoes in Ann Arbor Ypsilanti area!! Ambiance is really nice!! Beautiful clean place!

This place is great! I had the rosemary sea salt latte which was delicious. It wasn't too sweet so the flavor of the coffee really shined! So good! I also had the bourbon bread pudding. It was to die for. I will definitely be back!!!!

This place is always busy! They make amazing and fun lattes, like cardamom rose latte, lavender latte, and turmeric ginger honey latte. The baked goodies are delicious and inventive. I came here to get lunch for my coworkers and I. I called my order in beforehand. It was ready within 15-20 minutes. The sandwiches and wraps are SO good and tasty. They have lunch specials for $11.50 which include half a sandwich, soup, and a pickle.

The real cups are back for the lovely lattes! Since Pandemic even for eating in you got styrofoam. It was criminal! I finally decided to come back and I much happier. In addition, they seem to have figured out how to not burn the potatoes. Sooooooo--- awesome again! Interested and great breakfast.

Was looking at recommendations for reviews from FB college group and didn't find anything that had plenty of parking. This is a hidden gem near our hotel away from the hustle bustle of downtown and campus. It is a bakery & cafe. Large seating area and the tables are numbered so they will ask you where you're seated to bring you the dishes. The Bulgogi Parmesan Omelette with the home fries were delicious! The Pistachio Turkey sandwich was very good. The Tumeric Ginger Honey latte hit the spot on a cold winter day. Service was friendly and efficient and the restaurant is clean. There is station you can help yourself to water and maybe condiments. Will definitely be back!

Had the tofu wrap with avocado and lettuce minus the provolone and chipotle mayo. Was a good wrap, would of been nice for other non dairy substitutes to make up for the Mayo and cheese. Not complaining at all, however their breakfast potatoes are AMAZING. Seasoned and cooked to perfection, and a nice portion. The staff was friendly and the restaurant has lots of seating and open space. Beware of the lunch rush!

Nice lunch place. Has the feel of a small cafe. I had the lunch special, soup and a 1/2 sandwich. The soup was the tomato bisque, which was excellent. I really enjoyed it. For the sandwich I had the BLT. It was good. The bread didn't have that nice toast crunch I expect on a BLT. My wife had the same and enjoyed the soup and the sandwich. We both had the complimentary water in the table area. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your assigned table. Plenty of seating for various size groups. I saw plenty of people working on laptops. Service was friendly.

Love this place! You order at the counter and they direct you to a table where they bring out your food to you. We tried the pistachio turkey sandwich and pesto caprese sandwich. Both sandwiches were so good. They were a little smaller than I was expecting. Did the weekday special where yiu can get half sandwich and side of soup. Tried the tomato soup which was so flavorful and comforting. Paired really well with the sandwich. Tried couple iced lattes which were good as well. The interior is cute and has many tables. Would be a great place to enjoy lunch or even study/work. Will come back to try their weekend brunch menu.

Came here for brunch, it was quite packed! I had the caprese sandwich and the bread was just the right amount of toasty and fluffy. The mozzarella was also really good. Just what I needed. I would love to come back and try some of the other things on the menu.

I lived in Ann Arbor for six years and this place has got to be one of my favorites. It's definitely a bit more expensive, but their sandwiches are unique and tastes wonderful. My go-to order is the Pistachio Turkey sandwich (deli turkey meat, goat cheese, apples, fig jam and pistachios) and the tomato bisque soup. I really love the sweet crunch of the apple mixed with the more strong pungent taste of goat cheese. The fig jam is not something I normally eat so I appreciate the unique combination of flavors that complement one another in a great way. All my taste buds are happy and satisfied. Oh, and their bread is amazing. The sea salt chips on the side is a nice pairing. The tomato bisque is always yummy and comes with a couple of the wonderful tasting bread, drizzled with a bit of olive oil. I love dipping the bread in the soup - a perfect blend of hearty carbs along with the sweet and tangy flavor of the soup. Yum! Also their cold brew is one of my favorites in the area! Getting the sandwich, soup, and cold brew is definitely a nice treat-yourself :) They close on Mondays which I often forget and then I get sad when I drive by and see that I can't order anything until the next day.

Such a great little cafe. I wish the prices were a bit more affordable but it's nice to splurge every now and again.

Phenomenal bacon pesto mozzarella sandwich I normally can't finish a whole sandwich by myself but this was a delight in every bite! My only wish is that the bread was more toasted for a satisfying crunch, but I'm sure this is something I can ask fot next time. Overall, this cafe is so whimsical, with fall themed lattes and Halloween decorations galore. I wish I brought my bagpack and just sat down to study and enjoy the home-y vibes. The pumpkin pie latte rivals Starbuck's pumpkin spice frappuccino, highly recommend - there's many vegan and gluten free dessert options too!

Such a great spot for townies who are looking to escape some of the downtown or campus buzz and get a great cup of coffee, pastry or more. Everything is so fresh and creative and it's the perfect atmosphere to take a deep breath and get some work done or have time with friends.

I love the Songbird Cafe! I come pretty frequently. They have great food, lots of seating and amazing coffee. It's the perfect place to meet friends in Ann Arbor. I love the lavender lattes!!

I got to say, we came here 2x in a row and both days everything was really very good and very fresh. First day- egg and cheese, it was delish and brioche was soft and it was made perfectly for my kid to enjoy. Nice options of cheeses to put on the sandwich, too. $5.25 not bad. Although it's not a huge sandwich. Good size. And got a pistachio chocolate chip scone- tasty 2nd day we ordered another sandwich - it was good but brioche was a little crispier. Kid still enjoyed it. Ordered green tea/ginger muffin, blueberry muffin and another scone. All good and very fresh. I'd recommend for sure Place seemed clean, as well and nice staff

My first time at Songbird Cafe. It is clean open and fun. I ordered a Fig vanilla black pepper coffee as a drink. It had a lingering flavor of fig which was fun but it was the little peppery bite that I really enjoyed. For a sandwich I had the Chipotle Turkey Club sandwich. The bread was toasted and yet still soft and delicious. I liked the chipotle but wish it was spicier! Always love a club and this was a good one. Not the biggest sandwich for the price. I love the homemade chips. Only complaint is from my wife about the ice tea. She was shocked how small the cup was and also that refills were an extra $1 each. That point and my wish the sandwich was bigger is why I only marked four stars.

My favorite go-to place for brunch when I am in the area for work. I usually get the same thing: omelet with bacon, smoked gouda, and spinach. So good and fresh! I love that they come with potatoes. It is definitely a more casual experience if dining in, it isn't like a server for your table individually but staff does come around if you need anything like condiments, water, etc. Or at least direct you to where it is. They also always have a lot of interesting flavors with their bakery goods. Like matcha chocolate chip cookies or cookies and cream latte. I'm always leaving with something new!

Came here with my mom and boyfriend for a Sunday brunch and couldn't have been happier. We were looking to try somewhere new and I think this may end up being our go to brunch spot. Food was absolutely AMAZING. Service was AMAZING. The employees were so friendly. The restaurant was packed which was to be expected since it was a Sunday morning but they brought us our food in literally no more than 10 minutes. 1000% recommend.

My first experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. Restaurant was clean. I ordered the half sandwich pistachio Turkey and chicken tortilla soup. Very good. Since it was my first time here...I wish it was clearer how to go about eating in. We waited for an explanation and never received one from staff- a fellow customer helped out. Otherwise, very good and I will go back!

The sandwiches are delicious, the chips are fresh and incredibly crisp, and the service is pretty fast for how busy they get during lunch time. Definitely will be back! I highly recommend the bacon pesto grilled cheese, but honestly you can't go wrong with any of their food.

Love this spot, this is my go to place for a sandwich or a quick meal. Got this place for takeout. I ordered the pistachio turkey sandwich (comes with a side of chips or a side of pickles). It was served on a wide pan toasted bread. Inside there was fig, turkey, goat cheese and apple. The combination was divine. I also really liked how the pistachio was sprinkled on the side of the bread. It was a great texture as well. Sweet and savory! The chips were good too, very crunchy. I also for the green tea muffin because it looked really good - there was a slight taste of matcha and the muffin was topped with some candied ginger. Love this place and glad to see the quality is still so high even during COVID times.

I was really looking forward to trying Songbird when I first moved near A2 and was so sad to see the Westside location closed just when I moved! I'm so glad I took the extra time to head over to this location, because the food and vibes of this place are so cozy! I ordered the Lavender latte and the Phoenix sandwich, which comes with a side of crispy potatoes, and it hit the spot on a chilly Fall morning. Others in my party ordered a blueberry muffin, yogurt parfait, coffees/lattes, and Phoenix sandwiches (all of which they loved). I love the decor, it's really comfortable and feels like you're sitting in a friend's home. The person taking my order was very nice and the food came fairly quickly. If you're eating inside, just let them know the table number you're sitting at and they'll bring your food over to you; when you're done with your meal, there is space for you to clear your plates yourself, kind of like Panera. The only thing to note is that for 4 people we paid over $60 (not including the tip) but nowadays in A2 this seems to be near the average for service-free breakfast. Overall, Songbird is a great place to treat yourself to a good meal, and a really pretty spot if you want to enjoy a nice drink or get some work done!

Love love love this cafe. Even when the lines are long you can still get your food in a reasonable amount of time because the staff are so efficient. I went there twice in one weekend because it was THAT good! I had the pistachio turkey sandwich (forgot to get a picture) that was soo yummy- the combo of fig jam and goat cheese is so good. The breakfast sandwich was really filling too, and the almond joy bar was a definite win- not too sweet at all, like other coconut based desserts. It was perfect. Coffee is pretty decent too. I had a cappuccino. Definitely a staple bunch place!

This cafe came highly recommended by the group hosting us and it didn't disappoint. We stopped by here for lunch. They had pretty good COVID distancing measures in place. I had the caprese sandwich and it was nothing short of amazing. I do wish I got the pickle instead of the house chips but there's always next time! The other 3 folks in my party also cleared their plates. Good stuff.

Cute, eclectic, rustic, and tasty. Staff are really nice and helpful. I love coming here for working, hanging with friends, or a date for coffee or lunch.

Breakfast sandwich is spectacular. Brioche, smoked Gouda, sage sausage, real eggs ... hamburger-sized brioche sold Expensive ... IIRC, $7.50. (minus one star) Great COVID protocols. WiFi is turned Off ... because of COVID??? That is just plain stoopid. (minus one star)

I'm grateful to the NCRC (UM research center) for two things - one being introducing me to Songbird. It's a ten minute walk away and I spent many breaks here. Before the bubble tea shops opened in Ann Arbor, Songbird was MY SPOT for the taro vanilla bean steamer... I was so surprised a cafe in Michigan would have taro as a flavor and Songbirds went above and beyond my favorite drink. The sandwiches also changed my life. The bread here is amazing and the bread also comes with soup that you can dip in olive oil which... damn. Anyway - the pistachio turkey is my favorite sandwich on this planet. It's thicc, while packed full with flavors and texture. The goat cheese along with the apple slices and fig jam complement each other super well. The ham and smoked Gouda is also good, but it's all in the name. Chips are also served along with the sandwiches which are house made ( I think)? But so good and so crunchy.

The line to order food was pretty long and slow, but it was 1:00pm on a Sunday. However, once we did order the food came within 5 minutes. The waiters were wearing Halloween costumes which I thought was really fun. It made for great ambiance. We ordered a Taro Vanilla Bean Steamer which is steamed milk with Taro and it was delicious. The taro was not very strong, it mostly tasted like vanilla milk. The food came quickly and was warm but not too hot as to burn your mouth. My sandwich had really fresh ingredients and the bacon was crispy and cooked really well. Their home fries are evenly browned and are perfectly soft. The Bulgogi omelet was really filling and a really good choice for a hearty brunch.

Really a solid 4.5. Have tried their breakfast and lunch offerings. Lunch is better I think but breakfast still good but nothing special. Their bakery options are great, and I enjoy their taro milk tea. Convenient location for us as well.

Went on a Sunday for breakfast but were found with more lunch options , they had a couple breakfast items but not much, waffle was ok for $14 , you also put away your own dishes and get your own drinks

Super cute place doing a very efficient job with curbside during Covid. They're located near the Starbucks and their lattes are SO much better! I had the fig latte- perfect because they're not overly sweet. (Starbucks puts so many pumps of syrup in, you can't taste anything else) We also like the breakfast sandwiches (on brioche!) and cold brew!

I love the concept of having a coffee shop but also really good food. Most coffee shops have bad food that's brought in by Sysco. The sandwiches are so good and I love that it's just easy to order and go sit down

Place: I always passed by songbird cafe but never got the chance to go inside. Finally I got the chance to go through a friend who really liked this place. It really reminds me of an aesthetically pleasing cafe but it also has a diner option. Service: The overall service is good as they bring the food to you when you order. The set up of condiments are really good. Food/price: The food is overall really good! I got like an apple blue cheese sandwich and got coffee. The ginger tea that my friend got wa. pretty gritty so she did not like it. OVERALL SO GOOD Audience: For everyone! mainly a lot of families or one-on-ones, or meetings :) Recommend/tips? There are certain hours where there is no wifi to promote communication and relaxation so that is pretty cool! If you really need wifi Starbucks is across the street.

The food is very good, café menu is great with interesting drink options like a lavender latte as well as classic coffees. Service is good and there is a nice ambiance to sit and have a meal or study. However, this is a pretty pricey spot.

This place is absolutely amazing!! The atmosphere alone is enough to want to come here all the time. They have tons of unique drinks and their food is amazing. It's also a plus that the staff were incredibly kind and were happy to serve every customer:)

Stopped in for a quick brunch. The Guac & Roll w/ home fries didn't disappoint. Could do with a toasted bun, but flavor was on point. Potatoes were a mix of crispy and soft. A double espresso to finish things off was not particularly strong, tasted slightly over extracted. Overall solid breakfast spot with good seating/management during the pandemic. Unique breakfast items, proper coffee bar, and moderate selection of baked goods which I didn't try this time. Would recommend!

1. Good coffee (from Mighty Good) 2. Pretty good food with nice flavor combinations, but expensive. I really love the pistachio turkey sandwich but nothing else has impressed me. Ingredients aren't as high quality as the setting and decor make them seen. 3. Lackluster baked goods, lots of gluten free options though. Day-olds are half off. Many of the baked goods contain nuts in case allergies are a concern. 4. Decent spot for studying as long as it's not at a busy time (e.g. lunch). 5. The interior is cute, but in an artificial, controlled kind of way. A review by from 2013 says "it feels like a formulaic copy of all the things that have ever trended on Pinterest" and I feel like this is extremely accurate 6. Most (but not all) of the staff members are friendly. Others are aggressive and unwelcoming, almost hostile :( I really really really want to like Songbird. I've been coming here periodically over the summer for the past three years, but my recent experiences have been disappointing. It seems that instead of innovating and trying new things, they're sticking with what they know works. The menu hasn't changed in the past three years other than price increases, which wouldn't be a bad thing except for the fact that they've branded themselves as innovative and inspiring. I'm probably going to keep returning, but not with high expectations. The baked goods look really tempting, but appearances are deceiving. They're generally just really dry. If you arrive in the morning at opening they might be taking out fresh muffins still warm from the oven - the one I had fresh was slightly better, but still needed a lot of water to get down and I couldn't finish it. Many of them also don't have prices marked on the signs. Also, the emailed receipts aren't itemized, but they'll give you an itemized physical copy if you ask. More specific food that I've had here recently (in the past two weeks): Pistachio turkey ($9.50) - the apple/goat cheese/fig/pistachio combination is just so good. I will keep coming back just for this sandwich. Spicy pork and avocado wrap ($12) - Korean-style bbq pork, semi-greasy onions/bell peppers/mushrooms, and a small amount of avocado in a tortilla. The pork is pretty sweet and not very spicy. 3.5/5 Grilled cheese trio and tomato bisque ($7.95 lunch special) - the bread and cheese are soft (the surface of the bread isn't super crisp like most other grilled cheeses), really satisfying cheese pulls. 4/5 Avocado toast ($10.50) - high quantity of food, low quality. It's like substandard guacamole on soft bread that's thinner than in sandwiches and doesn't feel toasted at all. The egg makes it even softer. The flavors weren't bad but weren't very interesting, and the texture was just not good. I also don't understand why the tomatoes are there. 2.5/5 Bacon pesto grilled cheese ($8.50) - mostly just tastes like pesto. It's really drippy from the pesto so it's difficult to eat. The bacon was mostly crunchy but some parts were stretchy. 2.5/5 Chili bean soup - a little spicy, very tomato-y. 3/5 Blueberry muffin ($3) - looks appetizing but was extremely dry and tough. "Worse than Sweetwaters" and "it feels like I'm eating cornbread but it's not corn" 2/5 Green tea muffin ($3) - got this fresh from the oven in the morning and it was still dry. The green tea flavor is strong, and the candied ginger on the top is quite good though. 2.5/5 Sea salt chocolate chip cookie - thick chewy cookie, also kind of dry, generic milk chocolate chips. The surface is pretty dry and hard. Very light on the salt. Ok but not exceptional. 2.5/5 Oatmeal raisin cookie - barely any oats but very cinnamony. It's a decent cookie, just not an oatmeal cookie. Like the chocolate chip one it's also chewy. 2/5 as a cookie, 1/5 as an oatmeal cookie. Almond joy bar ($3.70) - GF and tastes just like an almond joy. The untempered milk chocolate layer makes it difficult to eat, as you have to crack it to get to the coconut underneath. Ours came with a piece of aluminum foil stuck in the bottom :( 3/5 Carrot cake ($2.50 for day old) - even at a day old the best of the sweets I tried. Cream cheese frosting is very light and sweet. It's a bit dry and light for a carrot cake and is more like a normal cake, but it's quite good. 4/5 Apricot pistachio cake ($2.50 for day old) - The cake is just hard and dry. As a friend put it, "It's undercooked but somehow still dry, which is amazing in its own way." The frosting has a tasty apricot flavor, but it's really sweet. 1/5 Lavender lemon bar ($3) - GF. It's very gooey and the crust seems almost undercooked. Very lemony and very sweet. The crust has bits of dried lavender, and the lavender smell is very strong. 3/5 Snickerdoodle with cream cheese whoopie pie ($4) - the frosting is very fluffy and very sweet but not cream cheese-y. The snickerdoodle is chewy and has a strong cinnamon flavor. Don't try to finish this alone. 3.5/5 if consumed in moderation

If you want to find a great study spot which serves more than just pastries and coffee (although they have plenty of both), this is the place to go! They have free WiFi, plenty of charming wooden benches or single person tables perfect for studying. I love how there's a lot of space (no more elbowing your neighbors laptop!) with a huge window spanning most of the cafe bringing in natural light. It's also a great place to grab a casual lunch sandwich or a quick late morning/early afternoon meetup with friends or more casual meetings (like with a TA for a course). They also arguably serve some of the best non-traditional, fun-flavored lattes around. Try the matcha, London fog, or lavender vanilla! The food itself is also fresh, yummy, and offers pretty healthy choices. Or you could always chow down on the indulgent cakes and pastries for some study reward! Highly recommended; a cozy, North Campus study/hangout spot.

I ordered the Kogi Hoagi beef for $12 that comes with a choice of pickle and chips without a drink. Seriously for that price you could at least throw in the pickle. Looking at the picture the sandwich maybe measures 6 to 8 inches and the sandwich was far from stuffed. As far as the flavor it was pretty good, they used marinaded beef bulgolgi mushrooms peppers and onions. It was a very simple yet tasty sandwich. However for the price you pretty much have to spend $15 to $20 bucks just for a sandwich, side, and a drink. Also the lines can get very long for this place and they only have one to two cashiers at a time so it can take quite a while to get your food. They should just become a complete sit down restaurant with how long they take. At these prices, I would find it hard to come back even though the food is good!

Quaint coffee house with decent coffee and food. A bit pricey for what you get although. The sandwiches are good size with really hard, crunchy chips. Very open floor plan with room for many guests.
