We went searching for Avocado Toast on our way out of CDA. Fine Brewed Cafe did not disaapoint. Its a walk up and order style. We ended up ordering The Ultimate on a tomato asiago bagel and a BLT on an everything bagel plus a spiced iced chai. THE FOOD- just the way I like it. The bagel was toasted but not over toasted and soft but not chewy. There was enough smooth silky cream cheese to satisfy and not overwhelm. We appreciated the perfectly cooked, thick bacon satisfying both me and my husband's different bacon preferences. They are generous with the avocado, etc. Yummy! Spiced chai had a hint of sweet, not bitter and had a pleasant flavor. SERVICE- The baristas were pleasant, service was fast, and they were appropriately staffed (at least 4 servers that I could count, maybe more in the back). There were one or two tables that had not been wiped yet, but we walked in just before and likley after a rush around 10am on labor day weekend and we didn't feel that was worth losing points over. They got through the line of people behind us very quickly, enough to be impressed. ATMOSPHERE- Typical chill coffee house feel. Pleanty of seating downstairs and upstairs. Power charging wall- many outlets. Relaxing, pleasant paintings of CDA lake on the walls. Didn't need or look for WiFi so i cannot confirm that option. PARKING- we were worried finding parking might be hard since its the main drag for tourist shopping from the resorts. There was plenty of parking on the side streets and in the public lots the block behind the street or a block and a half in front of it. Its 6 mins walking from CDA resort (aprox 3-4 blocks). BATHROOMS- 2 private bathrooms. Clean enough. One had a baby changing table! OVERALL-We will go here next time we are in town. Convenient, fast...
Read moreWe went for bottomless mimosas for my friends birthday. The options were 3 mimosas for $12 or bottomless for $15. We ordered the bottomless! She never told us the bottomless mimosas ended at 2pm. We asked when it was over when we ordered our 3rd mimosa at 1:50. So we ordered another and told her we would order one more after. We finished our drink at 1:57 , no one came up to us , so we went to the cashier at 1:59 and waited in line. By the time we got up to the employee, it was 2pm and she refused us our last drink. I think it was super unprofessional since we told them we would have one more and then she disappeared. I also ordered a bagel and they didn’t toast the bread. This is really disappointing because the girls were so nice to us until they became stingy with the bottomless mimosas...
Read moreThe venue is wonderful, clean, roomy and romantic if you please. My reasoning for a low score for this place is the server.
First off she makes us feel like an intruder, She was talking to a customer she probably know. Her body language say so.
She is visibly annoyed when we asked questioned about the different items listed on their menu.
Out of embarrassment we order something we really did not want. Mine you no one was behind us when we placed our order and the place was not busy.
This writer ordered juice and when she delivered it to me she bang the cup on the table and left without saying a word. Rude much.
Not quite an experienced from hell but enough for us not to go back. I hope other people will not suffer...
