K Cafe is a great effort, but somewhat of a disappointment and I fear it may be due to reasons outside of the establishment's control--but the experience is mid nonetheless. I have been here three times, only because all of those three times I was not the one to purchase anything myself. Initial impressions are that the cafe is cute and Instagrammable, probably to the liking of people who like to be cute and follow online trends. This first impression was the only decent thing about the whole experience. Otherwise, the cafe tends to be flooded with customers, leaving the cramped room overbearing and congested. The service is ok. All of the staff are extremely kind and do their best, but any administration or supervision is just lacking--there could be more guidance among the staff or a better way to deal with a lot of hassle that tends to happen either among customers or with staff confusion. My final critique is on the food, which is the one good that is charged here. For a place whose selling point is the aesthetic, that is exactly what you pay for. The food itself is not at all worth the price--$18 for a dish that can be recreated at home for less than a quarter of the price is ridiculous. Absolutely do not come out here if you're looking for an actual, good meal. The good is greasy, sparse, rushed and cheap. Drinks the same. The hollandaise was broken. The cakes are dry. Of course, everything is edible, but really not worth its price. I could only recommend K Cafe as a place to try once for anyone who wants to be somewhere that feels somewhat magical and isn't too critical of cuteness and capitalism ;PBut yeah the staff is mega sweet and does their best (so it's understandable that they're mega tired mid shift because of how busy the place is, not to mention how long people stay bc they also paid a fat amount and also the aesthetics etc.)

Pro: Ambience and decorations to take pretty pictures. That is the only plus point.And some light music.Con: Food !Each of the 3 dishes which we had ordered was either dry, oily or for sure not fresh at allThe only thing that was fresh was orange slices and salad on the side.Chicken drumsticks, pancakes & hash brown felt like we're from prepackaged food and toasted which resulted in them being dry. We truly looked forward to having breakfast /brunch at this place and came out disappointed because of food. For the cost, food was way below average.Waiting line:The cashiers at the front desk told us that the kitchen was not able to keep up with food orders and hence they made people wait standing for more than 30 mins. And for what toaster oven cooked pre packaged food.One of those dish they made a mistake and gave us another dish by mistake.Go there for pictures but for breakfast/brunch meal find another place for the same amount.

Vegetarian options: They have a couple of options, I had the vegetarian burger with an Impossible Patty. Not the most thrilling meal, but it was not bad.Parking: They have maybe 10 parking spots in their parking lot. The rest is street parking, and good luck finding a spot.

Omg, how do I even start. This place makes you feel like you’re a Disney princess. It’s so cute and so fancy. I wish more places would take the lead to decorate the same. It makes me want to go back.

We actually very much enjoy this place compared to their to-go location that has absolutely nothing.Their food is decent. They have great flavors for the most part.However, in terms of cleanliness it absolutely misses every mark. It’s quite gross sitting on dirty couches and seats.I know they were closed for some time. My assumption was they were closing to do some cleanings, but I was wrong.There’s places that aren’t necessarily sit down restaurants and they absolutely take all the pride to purchase new seats every year especially when it comes having a specific type of material seats.For this place absolutely Avoid the couches at all cost. You’ll sink and then look for a last minute seating arrangement.I felt super icky leaving this place.

K Cafe is such a CUTE small cafe. All of their decor, plate, cutlery, dishes are all photo-op aesthetics.What I ordered was delicious! I ordered the Classic Breakfast (Bacon, Two Sausage, Two Eggs, Baked Croissant, a choice side- I got Soy Garlic fries) for total of $19.80, and a Mango Passionfruit Iced Tea for $7.35. I love that the drink had actual fruit inside and they only have one size so it was a medium. I would def order these again! I almost ordered the Sweet & Savory but I’m glad I ordered the classic bc I felt it was just enough and large enough to fill me and for the price. (:Service was fair! The staff don’t seat you. You order at the front, then seat yourself as a first come first serve. There is seating inside and outside. The cafe issues a 3.5% fee (ish) for using card, so if able cash is recommended. There is very limited parking, there is a small lot behind the cafe that probably is a 10 car max cap, and the rest is street side walk parking.FYI- NO RESERVATIONS are taken. However if you do inquire about it, i heard/read online it’s a huge fee of spending a minimum but clarify to ask about that.

The cleanliness of the restaurant has declined significantly in the last year. The floor was incredibly sticky walking from the front door to the register. The chairs were very stained, and beside the cushions were packed with dried food. We ordered the Belgian waffle plate with fruit, a classic breakfast with scrambled eggs, an egg and ham croissant sandwich, and a pot of ginger tea for the table. If it hadn't been for the hairs found cooked into both the waffle AND the scrambled eggs, the food would have been a redeeming feature. As it was, though, I will not be bringing clients or visiting family members here anymore. The decor is a small joy behold, and the dessert counter adds to the coffee shop vibe, but the gross factor isn't worth it.Kid-friendliness: The decor is entertaining with layered hanging silk/plastic plants indoors and many gazebos and knick knacks outside.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide doors, table tops

This restaurant has very nice decorations.Their service is not good as when I ask to get my coffee in a mug they said I have pay extra $ for that. They serve their coffee in paper cups. And that is expensive compared to any other stores.For food they don’t have any healthy breakfast options.

Parking and wait time to order will definitely depend on the time of the visit. I would suggest before 10am or after 1pm. We got there before the rush around 1030am, so we had no line to order and found seating for 2 easily.As we were finishing our meal, people were waiting around our table because all indoor seating was full, and they wanted to be ready to snag the next available seating. It was cold and rainy, so no one wanted to sit outside. The seating outside would be beautiful to enjoy on a warmer day.Place itself has limited parking (in the rear of the cafe) in their parking lot, so most likely, you will have to find street parking. This can also be a pain depending on the time of the visit as it is a residential area.I ordered the fusión breakfast, and it wasn't bad. For a more filling portion, order it with roasted potatoes or hash browns over the fruit. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and great taste.I paired that with the mint mojito latte.I would love to go back and try the chicken waffle Benedict (seems to be a popular choice), one of their non-breakfast options, and an iced fruit tea.Parking: Their parking lot is only about 8 spaces, and 1 is a handicap space. Street parking can be difficult if visiting during busy time.

Nice place to take your girl here, they just have nice aesthetics but the food that’s a whole different conversation, we ordered the bacon eggs benedict and I’ve never tasted something so flavorless since high school not even actually worse than that. The chicken and waffles too super dry and not crispy had a weird taste. The coffee is the best thing in there menu don’t waste your time on food save your money.
