This is a winner! Especially on lazy weekends. You are in the mood of something different with zest and spice, but not stuffing. Short grain is the one. My favorite items are the Banh Mhi especially the one with egg and pate. It is seasoned to perfection and you can opt for the spicy sauce too. Their drinks are expensive...they range on the $6. They are treats. The bubble teas are great and refreshing although pricey. The chicken curry is awesome both in a baguette and salad. The savory stack is another item I order. It is just delicious. It's got the fluffiness of ricotta with a drizzle of honey on a stack of pillowy pancakes and a side of crispy savory bacon, and you can order extra bacon if you like. So you are on a trip that begins with sweetness to gradually transition to savory. It balances the palate beautifully. The location is very pleasant too.

The food is really not good compared to the coffee. It is like cafeteria food.

I tried coconut curry chicken as other reviewers suggested. It wasn't that good. The bread wasn't even toasted much like other banh mi. The coffee looks good and people were coming in and out. Maybe it was just an off day.

Everytime i order food here for pick up, the food is somehow always cold. I gave them at least 10 to 15 minutes time , after i placed my order but when i pick it up, its just warm not hot.
Five stars for the owner and his team at Short Grain! The avocado toast was beyond amazing—perfectly ripe avocado on just-right toast. Outstanding service and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Short Grain is a very cute little place with nice menu options. I ordered poached Chicken Salad, but I was really disappointed to say that there was barely any chicken there I at most got 3tiny half inch bits of chicken in entire serving and rest was just cabbage!!! Taste was not bad but where is the chicken in here?

This place feels like a hidden gem though theres always people coming and going when we're there, so not sure how hidden it is. Absolutely love the lemon ricotta pancakes and ricotta toast!

Coffee was delicious. Kuddos to the Barista. She was at the counter and making GOOD!! coffee at the same time. Hard to find in the area.
Tasty! My avo toast was gorgeous and so good. My friend got the hotcakes and they were also beautifully plated.Hot chocolate wasn't a hit, though.

Avoid this place at all costs. Not only is the food rotten, rancid, and overpriced, but the owner is verbally abusive with his customers and staff, and he’s a bigot. He also dumps the restaurant trash into his neighbor’s backyard and garden.

I'll get right to it: their avocado toast doesn't miss. I had mine with an egg on top but there are a variety of other options, all of which I'm sure are tasty. They do avo toast simple, no frills (as pictured) and they do it WELL. Added bonus: they are also dog friendly!

I ordered here today for lunch through grub hub. I ordered the pork belly sandwich and one hash brown. The food arrived on time and looked delicious. The hash brown was a little soggy but I guess that's a problem from ordering takeout and delivery since fried foods can get soggy during delivery. I decided to eat the hash brown first. The first few bites were fine but then on the third bite I felt something weird and sharp in my mouth. I spit out the food and found a staple in the chewed up food. I have no idea how a staple had gotten into the hash brown, but if I would have swallowed it, I think I would have had major issues. I immediately threw out the rest of the hash brown and though the sandwich looked good I threw that out as well. Unfortunately grub hub wouldn't offer me a refund since it was the restaurants fault. I don't have a car so I can't take the food back. Though it was only $19 for lunch, it was a total waste of my money and total waste of food. So if you eat here, make sure you check your food.
