Black Ivory Cafe

Really cool place, great food, great coffee, and friendly service! I love the Native American and American celebrities tribute photos decorating the walls. The guy who took my order is an artist so he did all the artwork in the restaurant. The coffee shop is inside ShabaShabu restaurant.

There is a ton of different seating styles here. There are office chairs lining a long table along the window for solo diners who are doing work. There are small circle tables that seat 4 in the middle, and then there are a couple of small sofa w/2 stand-alone chairs and a bench for a chic group vibe (probably for drinks). Also, there is a large table for formal dining groups. A little something of everything to welcome all sorts of diners!

I had the Asian breakfast (Chok, which is a porridge) and coffee but can’t wait to come back for dinner. When my porridge was ready, a woman came over to explain how I should eat it properly (by adding in a little of the crispy noodles in small bits at a time) and told me about the fresh ginger and the other ingredients. Juan prepared my Americano and told me about the artwork. Definitely a 5-star service and quality place!

Ps: it looks like they serve wine here too.
