THE LEAD VERDICT
“best cortado in albany hands down - teh espresso has notes of chocolate and caramel PERFECTLY balanced with silky microfoam. the barista clearly knows their craft”
“only one small table by teh window for laptop work and it gets taken up quick by other remote workers trust me”
ALSO FILED
“chicken and waffles hit all the right notes - crispy fried chicken with a goood crust and waffles that werent too sweet. for real simple comfort food done right trust me”
“for real service was pretty slow even tho the place wasnt packed. took like 25 minutes to get our food lol”
“finally a place that actually takes gluten free seriously! for real their GF pancakes were fluffy adn didnt taste like cardboard plus they use separate prep areas to avoid cross contamination”
“literally only TWO gluten free options on teh menu adn tehyre both breakfast items so not much variety if youre coming for lunch”
“gotta say their mediterranean bowl with grilled chicken hummus and fresh vegetables is perfectly halal and SO flavorful - the spice blend on the chicken reminds me of home cooking”
“literally the tahini dressing was disappointingly blaaand and watery needed way more lemon and garlic to make the whole thing work would reccomend”
“their coffee game is ON POINT - rich smooth and they actually know how to pull a proper espresso shot. the breakfast burrito was loaded and messy in all the best ways”
“parking on solano is a nightmare especially weekend mornings. circled the block three times before i just gave up and walked four blocks”
“teh presentation of their seasonal salads is magazine-worthy like vibrant colors artistic arrangement and edible flowers that make everything feel like a feast perfect for social media”
“teh counter seating faces a blank wall so zero interesting background for photos which is annoying dead serious”
“thier homemade pasta special reminded me of sunday dinners at nonnas - hand-rolled pappardelle with this rich ragu that was clearly simmering for hours tbh authentic italian technique in this tiny solano avenue gem”
“the dining room gets so incredibly noisy when its full makes it basically impossible to have a conversation during dinner”
“teh steel cut oatmeal has this perfect chewy texture with a creamy finish topped with fresh berries that burst with juice. the contrast BETWEEN warm hearty oats and cool fruit is just sublime no joke”
“teh sourdough toast came ouuut barely warmed like room temperature and completely ruined teh whole textural contrast wiht the soft scrambled eggs”
