THE LEAD VERDICT
“love that theyre focused on fresh ingredients - the veggie omelet was packed with colorful peppers spinach adn tomatoes that were clearly good quality. portion was reasonable and the dish felt balanced and nutritious chefs kiss”
“hash browns were pretty greasy tho and seemed cooked in oil thats been used too many times - not super healthy”
ALSO FILED
“ok so their house-made aioli on the grilled chicken sandwich showed real technique - properly emulsified with a bright lemon finish and just enough garlic to complement without overpowering. it's these details that separate good cafes from great ones”
“teh soup of the day was underseasoned and had that thin watery consistency that tells you it was stretched to last the whole service solid”

CONTRIBUTING CRITICS
“perfect for those weird between-meal times when you want something substantial but not heavy. their 4pm closing means you can grab a proper late lunch without dealing with the dinner crowd”
“literally teh wifi was spotty the whole time constantly dropping when i was trying to work on my laptop”
“their breakfast sandwich is legit street food quality but in a proper cafe. fried egg done right crispy bacon melted cheese fresh bun. simple done well”
“coffee took forever to come out even tho it wasnt that busy - seemed like they only had one person on the espresso machine”
“the tiramisu was heavenly - perfectly balanced coffee-soaked ladyfingers with mascarpone that was light as air!!! paired with their robust espresso it was the ideal afternoon indulgence”
“they ran out of their advertised wine selection by early afternoon so you were stuck with like basic options for pairing with dessert”
“the plating at cafe 85 is surprisingly elegant for such a casual spot - thier quinoa salad looked like modern art honestly with vibrant roasted vegetables arranged in perfect color gradients against the white bowl”
“the fluorescent lighting is harsh adn unflattering washing out the natural colors of the beautifully prepared food”
“yo tehir panettone french toast is such a brilliant twist - the texture of the italian sweet bread soaks up the custard perfectly while keeping its flavor. nonna would totally approve of this honestly”
“cappuccino was weak tho - teh espresso gottatally lost in too much milk and the foam was flat instead of like proper microfoam no joke”
