Great Lattes, Tiny Sandwiches
I usually just get a latte here and I really like the lattes; the baristas know what they are doing. Recently, I tried a breakfast sandwich, and it was good but TINY for $10. I believe the breakfast sandwiches should be meat-free by default and lower priced, with meat as an add-on.
I can't stand paying the meat price just to ask them to remove the bacon. Service is generally indifferent. It's usually overcrowded and noisy on the weekends, so I will stick with just lattes to go.

Great Neighborhood Spot with Friendly Staff
I love this place and come here all the time. The staff is extremely friendly, and their food & drink options are great. It's a great neighborhood spot and a great place to do some work, with fast WIFI and big windows with natural light.

Relaxed neighborhood spot with great vibe
My experience at this fantastic neighborhood spot was one of a relaxed coffee break. While the service is not always the speediest, it's a great place to come for a relaxed coffee. The vibe is lovely, with good music and friendly staff.

Overhyped and Inconsistent Experience
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. It's an overhyped place that felt too crowded. The service was inconsistent; the staff would either be nice or rude and borderline ignore you.
I received a bagel that was incredibly hard, as if it were 2 months old. I would avoid this place.

Disappointing Latte, Cute Space
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, particularly with the honey cinnamon latte. It tasted like a regular latte, and I couldn't detect any honey or cinnamon flavor, despite seeing the cinnamon. The space itself was cute, though.

Disappointing Matcha Latte Experience
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, particularly regarding their matcha latte. They clearly have no idea how to make one. It felt like they assumed customers would pay $6 for anything.
An ethical approach would be to remove matcha drinks from the menu if they cannot be made properly, and focus on what they do know how to make.

Lovely Cafe with Eco-Conscious Concern
My experience at this cafe was overall lovely. I enjoyed a muesli bowl and a cortado, both of which were good. The staff were nice, and the space wasn’t too loud, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere.
My only qualm is the use of single-use cups and bowls, which is leaving more waste in our landfills than necessary.

Horrible Service and Coffee
My experience was extremely negative due to the rude barista. They didn't make eye contact and ignored me while I finished my order. To make matters worse, my coffee was made incorrectly and tasted horrible.

Slow Service, Unacknowledged
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing due to the service. Despite visiting during a non-rush period, I waited for about 7 minutes without my order being taken or even being acknowledged. A friend who lives nearby had previously warned me about slow service, but this was beyond what I expected.

Favorite Neighborhood Coffee Spot
My experience at Matching Half was excellent. It's a solid neighborhood coffee spot with good food options. I was in town for several days and tried Matching Half along with a few other coffee spots in the area (Sightglass, The Mill, Bean Bag Cafe), and it was my favorite.
Their Americano is excellent, and the ambiance is cozy. They have wifi, which is a great amenity, and it's a good spot with both indoor/outdoor options to post up and answer a few emails.
