The paninis are okay here. The bread is too thick which makes it all too dry all together. It was rough eating, definitely needing extra sauce to smooth it all out. Also, the lattes were alright. The coffee beans probably werent the best. It lacked the richness of other lattes made at great places like Portola’s coffee.

What a gem this little café and coffee spot is! Although I didn’t enjoy anything from the food menu, I caught a glimpse of a few plates around our table that looked good. I opted for a soy latte, hot and unsweetened which came just right with a little latte art. Parking took a few quick circles around since it shares real estate with a shopping/office strip. Price points looked great and the service was easy going and friendly. Great low key vibe with lots of seating for the size of the space.

Good food, great and friendly staff and good coffee. Prices are a bit out there for a café. Many choices of coffee and food since their change to new management. I highly recommend the Chicken Pesto and Bulgogi sandwich. Their Chinese Chicken Salad is also a hot seller. Very quiet most of the day until the lunch rush around 11:30. Excellent place to get some work done or have breakfast.

The food is pretty good, but without fail the cashiers appear to not know how to correctly enter orders which either takes forever or results in food coming out wrong. I also saw the manager, who was preparing food in the back, handle money to give to the cashier(with her gloves on) and then with the same gloves went back to making food. Gross.

I’m not a salad person type of guy but we got the ultimate Chinese salad and I fell in love with it they give a good portion and not cheap with their chicken :) and addicting sauce!(On the side) i don’t know if they’ll overflow it if you don’t get it on the side

Okay. I freaking love this place!!! It’s like traveling to Seattle! They have captured the beauty and excellence that coffee can bring to your life in this shop. Whoever runs this place deserves an award. I AM A COFFEESNOB. There. I said it. And I know what I want the moment I step into any coffee place and that delicious aroma hits my baby sized nostrils. I went with an Americano, extra shot, soy milk, with a few pumps of Vanilla! I wish I could remember the barista’s name… Maybe Emily? Anyway, she is the bomb! Her customer service was amazing! And her coffee was amazing! The Americano was so rich and not too bitter. It even tasted slightly frothy which is hard to do. If I am ever in the area I will definitely stop by and get another coffee! I can’t wait! I might even make an excuse to come out this way!

I’m thankful to have forgone Starbucks to check out this cute gem. Aesthetically, this place is pretty and inviting with the wooden chairs, tables, bar and the classical music. It’s a very relaxing environment. I came in around 9AM on a Tuesday morning. There’s been some traffic but overall pretty light. The baristas are pleasant and prompt. One was especially sweet and I missed her name. I ordered a large latte with Carmel and the salmon panini. The latte was AHmazing and the panini was damn good too. Total came to $ 14.88. Kind of steep for a breakfast but I probably didn’t need the ginormous latte. Meh! I liked the bathroom. Bathrooms are not something I typically comment on but this one got my attention. There is a big mirror, cute décor, and a scentsy thing burning. I like that the relaxing ambiance carried into the bathroom too :) I probably won’t make it here again because it’s kind of a jaunt from where I’m staying but if I was closer, I’d be hitting this place up everyday. It’s across the street from Starbucks– come here instead!!!

3.5 stars: Dropped by to spend some time on the computer with a drink. Ordered the matcha latte. It wasn’t that hot when it came but the flavors were just right, though I do wish for a bit less sweet in the future. Appreciate the tall ceiling for the feel for spaciousness. Came on a really slow day, I was told they were closing shop at least 1.5 hour than usual.

Finally decided to give this place a try. It did not disappoint. The panini bread is so delicious I’d come back just for that! I had a Denver scramble and the hubby got the Salmon panini. Wow, never knew a panini could be so good! For drinks I had a cherry lemonade and the hubby picked an Italian soda-which is mixed and made to order! Not from the machine, but the gal up front was literally measuring out the syrup and pouring up his drink ;) Service was great, the gal at the front was friendly and they have patio seating as well. Will come back for coffee next time!

Found this place here in Unilocal and decided to give it a try seeing all the good reviews it had. My co-workers and I went and we tried the following: I had the chicken pesto lunch special which comes with the panini sandwich, salad, and a drink. The choice of salads is awesome. I tried the candied walnut salad which was mixed greens, candied walnuts, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta cheese, and dressing. The panini was a good portion. The chicken was thin and the pesto was light and not greasy. I loved it. My co-workers had, a pulled pork lunch special with a Caesar salad and he said it was delicious. The other one has an Italian lunch special with a green salad which was mixed greens, tomatoes and cucumbers. She said it was very yummy. The atmosphere was nice and cozy and we beat the lunch rush by a few minutes. So it was perfect. I would definitely try this place again.

First time I came here, we ordered a bacon egg and mushroom bfast panini, as well as a café latte and a café mocha. The coffees were pretty good. The latte was lighter than the mocha, and also less sweet. So if you want something sweeter, go for the café mocha… Or you could just add sugar to the latte– whatever floats your boat. :P The panini was to die for. It was just the right amount of crunch, paired with the perfect amount of soft and melty cheese. The second time around, we ordered a bbq pulled pork panini and it was awesome! At first I was a little bummed by the lack of meat, but once you bite into the panini, all is forgiven. It was a much needed sacrifice.

Good coffee and what looked to be an incredible selection of breakfast/lunch items. Kaffa has free wireless service and plenty of seating.

Amazing food and drinks! My favorites are the Chinese chicken salad, ice blended caramel latte(wasn’t too sweet at all), iced matcha green tea latte and the bugolgi panini… All are very delish and flavorful! My only one complaint is one of their workers(the one with a tattoo on the back of her neck), she’s not very welcoming at all and seems like she’s not very happy at where she’s at in her life. No greeting or smile as I entered the café… By surprise, my ice blended drink was delivered to the table by HER, and of course, I simply reply by saying thank you … I’m a loud person, and I know she heard me, so I said it again louder, but did not even receive and acknowledgement. I come here for the amazing food and would just rather order to go instead of dining in. Don’t let this girls rude attitude stop you from trying out this place! Yuummmmy!

This place was not bad, the staff was very nice but did seem a bit overwhelmed. The place itself was pleasant, a bit hard to spot and pretty quiet apart from the occasional rush of customers. I don’t think I would have seen it if not for the fact that I was specifically looking for it. I wasn’t even sure it was open when we got here as it looked empty. My fiancé got the hot cereal and a Carmel café latte, both of which she seemed to enjoy very much. I decided on the Western Scramble Panini, It was ok but nothing special. Overall our experience was ok but the prices were a bit much. I wouldn’t mind coming back for the coffee but if I’m thinking breakfast this place would not be my first choice.

I went here for the first time with my friend, and we’re so glad we did! It’s a pretty small café, but it has a comfortable and friendly vibe to it. Free wifi is definitely a plus too! The service was a little slow, but the food and latte definitely made up for it. I ordered a smoked salmon panini, and it was so delicious! I also got a matcha green tea latte, and it had a really adorable bear design! I’m always a fan of latte art, and it tasted really good too! I’m definitely gonna come back if I need a nice place to get some work done.

Unexpectedly great! Never thought this little café would be surprisingly this good! Great food at inexpensive prices! Staff has always been kind and accommodating. Everything I’ve tried so far taste great! Their Chinese salad is a MUST, if you want something light. Paninis are to die for! My personal favorite: Denver Scramble! Their coffee is good too.

Best hot cereal aka oatmeal around. It’s loaded with fresh cut bananas and strawberries then they sprinkle chopped walnuts and cinnamon on top. Coffee is made to order and is really strong! But in a good way. Service can be slow.

When I paid for my cappuccino, I was asked whether I wanted my coffee for here or to go. I clearly said for here and I got my cappuccino in paper cups, double-cupped with no lid or sleeves. I was not happy that I got it in paper cup when I told the cashier person that I wanted it for here. Double cupping is also waste of resources and as a person who values importance of being green, it was very disappointing. Cappuccino was pretty strong(and there’s nothing wrong with that) but flavor was not so great. There are many other coffee shops in the area so I’m not sure if I’ll try this place again…

This review is just for the coffee… I’ve never eaten the food, but it looks really good and I plan to indulge soon. The coffee is fantastic! I’m an Americano kind of girl, and my husband gets the mocha. Both are delicious. They have a stamp card program, so after 10 drinks you get a free one! They never mention it again after they give it to you, so keep it on you and remember it! I’ve had both the regular and the decaf, and both are really good and rich-tasting. The barista is a true artist with the mocha, and the ratio is good of milk to chocolate to espresso. The location is in a strip mall right across from St. Joseph’s Hospital, and it’s kind of a random spot. It does get a lot of lunchtime traffic during the week. Totally worth a visit!
