Oh lord, this place is awesome!

Wednesday night dinner here was amazing!  The restaurant is super cute and dimly lit.  We sat at their community table and had the best time ever.  The service was really great.  I think the waitress was hell bent on getting me drunk as she was always right there to refill my wine glass - hey, I'm not complaining!

I ate the crispy potato tacos and tried my date's mac and cheese.  Both were soooo yummy.  They were out of the mango sorbet so we got the lemon instead.  Holy crap...it was like sucking on a lemon - in a good way.  If you don't like SUPER tart lemons, don't order this.

I am in love with this place!

Saw They Might Be Giants this weekend from the 5th row.  Awesome seats!!!  The theater is so pretty with its ornate ceiling carvings and just overall feel.

This was our first time here so we for sure parked in the wrong place and had to hike all over campus to find the place.  I swear we almost gave up 3 times, but I was determined to find this elusive spot!  When we finally found it, it was worth it.  It was kinda creepy how empty the campus was at night...as soon as I saw anyone I would yell out -- Hey Do you know where Royce Hall is?  Thank god for the kindness of strangers!

Let's talk about the vegetarian pho...

YUM!

Came here for dinner Saturday night and was really happy that I did.  I had the veggie pho - spicy with strips of tofu..mmm mmm good.  The spring rolls were just ok, but the peanut sauce was yummy.  And they had this citrus pop that they make with fresh fruit.  I could have drank 10 of them!!!  They were sooooo delish!

The decor is so cute and they use local produce so that is pretty cool.  I really liked this place!

Came here around midnight on Saturday night...ton of people there.  It was freezing but there was nowhere to go but the patio.  They really needed to turn the giant heater on!!  Other than that it was a pretty cool place.  The DJ was playing some 90's hip hop which was ok with me!  Every song the DJ played I was blurting out - Oh I love this song! So that was cool.  
The people watching was pretty sweet, too.  To my right, a large couple making out.  To my left, some girl crying.  
I liked this place and will probably be back!

Soy latte please!

Parking sucks here in the morning so that's a bummer, so I park at my office and hoof it on over to save myself the frustration.

This location is always clean and inviting and the baristas are great and friendly!

I also love their mango slushie thing un the summer...yum!

I come here alot.  I work within walking distance, that is the only reason I come here so much.  It's not horrible. it's not great...it's convenient.

Best thing
breakfast burritos -- expensive but they are 2 breakfasts worth
they're french fries are yummy
I can walk here from my office
fast service
they always have a vegan soup option (yay!)

Worst thing
they NEVER cook my grilled cheeses all the way!!  If you want the cheese to be melted ask for it well done.
the prices for some things are ridiculous.  Example - $2.19 for a bottle of Coke.

I'm so happy I finally got to come here!  I'd heard so much about it and it did not disappoint.  Me and BFF came here for lunch late Saturday afternoon.  We shared the arugula pizza, a grilled veggie sandwich and some carrot ginger soup.

Favorite: Arugula pizza...just plain yum!
2nd favorite: veggie sammich -- I have heard about the wonders of Daiya cheese and it was good on the pizza but I could have done without it on the sandwich.  The olive spread was a little overwhelming, but still yummy.
3rd favorite: carrot ginger soup.  I love carrot ginger soup, but I found that the more I ate this, the less I liked it.  Weird.  Don't get me wrong, I liked it but maybe it was a little too ginger-y for me?

I would love to come back here and try a lot more!

I've been here a few times but haven't reviewed it til now.  I waited in a 2 hour line to get into the Hello Kitty pop up shop Saturday afternoon.  worth.every.minute.
Me and my BFF got smart, though.  The cafe sells beer...half of the line was inside the joint...drinking beers in line = genius.  Beers were $5 for Kirin...not too bad.
The exhibit was amazing, of course!  It was Hello Kitty!  The space itself is great.  It was packed but you till were able to move around.  The place seems small when you walk in, but as you walk thru the cafe you find a whole other open space for the art!  Parking wasn't too bad, we found a spot in the neighborhood behind the building.

I love this place and definitely will be back to see the other awesome exhibits they have!

Came here for a Mad Men season finale viewing party last night.  The place is definitely swanky!

Drink prices were reasonable, bartenders were cool.  The place itself is super cool.  Light up bar and tables, the booths were totally classy (hey, I was surprised they let me in, too!)

It was a Sunday night and the area was a total ghost town.  There weren't a ton of people there but the atmosphere was pretty sweet.

I would come back here again!

Had a nice little dinner here with my sisters on Friday night.  It was pretty yummy!  I had the spinach artichoke dip -- so good with sun dried tomatoes in it.  Although I had a mini freak out when i thought there was meat in it!  The stuffed mushrooms were pretty yummy but I thought they could have been seasoned more.  For dinner I had the eggplant parmesan which was delish.  I think that I would definitely come back...they have Guiness on tap, too!
