I mean, wow.
Some friends and I were looking for a little cafe to waste some time in and grab a bite to eat before our laser appointments up the street.
I was not at all expecting the amazing customer service and delicious, fresh food.
We were trying to order the breakfast special when the gentleman up front let us know that was only on weekdays (we were there on a Saturday) This threw a curve ball in our ordering, so we got:
Food: 4.75 out of 5
Matcha Lattes
-I loved mine, I asked for it Xtra sweet and he made it lovely! One of my friends asked for it unsweetened and the other got theirs regular, both really enjoyed their drinks as well 5 stars
-Breakfast Burrito
-Freshly made, warm and delicious with eggs, chorizo, Breakfast potatoes and a smoky salsa that took the burrito to another level!! The salsa wasn't incredibly spicy, which we loved, but the flavor was a yummy punch in the mouth. 5 stars
Chicken Ceasar Salad -DELICIOUS! It is the same Ceasar salad you know and love, but we really enjoyed the fact that the salad was tossed with the chicken and croutons and not at all dry like it can be at other places. If you're in the mood for a little lettuce, get it! 5/5
Beef Kebab Gyro This was the curveball we ordered since we couldn't try the weekday breakfast platter, and we were not disappointed. The Gyro was fresh and packed with delicious veggies, the only ding I will give it is that the meat was slightly overcooked, but honestly, we'd enjoyed everything we'd tried up until that point.
Sweets! Although we didn't get any because we were too full at that point, there were yummy breads and baked goods that I have to try next time like their Pumpkin bread, Banana Nut Bread, Coffee Cake, Croissants, and Quiche.
Atmosphere: 5 stars 🌟 There are pillows and comfy booth seating all around and a little reading nook in the corner. They also have board games to borrow while hanging out. Soft lighting that makes everything feel warm and cozy. This is a book worm's oasis.
Parking: street parking only.
Overall: 10 out of 10 recommend 👌
If you are ever in the Eagle Rock area looking for breakfast, a quick bite, to satisfy a sweet tooth, or simply let a load off, I highly suggest you pay a visit...
Read moreExtemely disappointed. The photos are misleading. All of the photos show meals on nice white plates. My omelette was served in a clear plastic to-go container with plastic utensils. There was not a single plate in sight in the whole place.The mocha was served in a paper cup. No nice white porcelain cup like the photos. They're charging sit down service prices with order at the counter service. The prices showing in the photos are four years old and the prices are significantly higher than what's shown in the photos. Also, the person that took my order overcharged me, then quickly crumpled up the receipt and threw it away without ever showing it to me or asking if I wanted it. I thought it was a little odd at the time to do that, but didn't think about it until later. On top of all that, the omelette was salty. The final insult was the lock on the bathroom door didn't lock properly and someone walked in on me. There are better options literally down the street. I will not be going back.
In response to your response. I don't appreciate the accusatory response. Instead of maybe owning some of my concerns, you have decided to put all the blame back on me. First, its a little presumptuous to think that I posted my review out of "embarrassment. I turned the locking mechanism and checked the door knob and it was locked. When the person opened the door, the handle was turned and had nothing to do with the door being latched. I camp outdoors, so I was more annoyed than embarrased and that incident really had no bearing on me posting a review. I eat out a lot and this is the first time I can remember that I wasn't offered a receipt. As to the age of the photos representing your establishment how about updating them more than every four years? I could go on, but I would have been more than willing to modify or delete my post with some sort of apology or an offer to try to dine there again. I haven't posted anything in years, so maybe you woukd take that as a sign that my eperience was genunely not good. Lastly, I know how a door works. Thanks for accusing me of not knowing how a door works instead of addessing...
Read moreI write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Zweet on our interview date.
Pinterest and coffee lovers have something to rejoice in the form of Zweet Cafe. A visually appealing blend of industrial and rustic elements are apparent from head to toe, with quirky touches from its giant coffee-themed chalkboard wall to colorful pillows and exterior paintings and topped off with a lovely aquarium being fun scene-stealers. It was clear by the amount of groups popping in and out of the shop that this was a neighborhood stop, and there is absolutely plenty of things to entice someone to want to see what the excitement is about.
Apart from their impressive amount of indoor and outdoor space, they’ve also got an impressive food and drink menu! A rotating food menu, so that means there is plenty of opportunity to get your fill of every recipe comprised of healthy, organic options and homemade ingredients, in which a majority can also be made as alternative gluten-free variation. Beverages include an array of organic loose-leaf teas, classic recipes, and a few hidden gems that’ll pique your interest. I chose to get an iced version of Steph’s Strawberry Mocha, which pretty much was a gloriously decadent liquid chocolate covered strawberry that I have zero shame in still having dreams about. Zweet has many amazing things that will without a doubt provide you with a positive experience. Don’t miss out on visiting this lovely gem next time you’r...
