Cafe Coda

TLDR; amazing Coda Benedict, great service

Lavender green tea lemonade: a punch of lavender flavor in the beginning but after first sip I could only taste the lemon. A refreshing drink nonetheless.

Coda Benedict: when ordering, you get a choice of ham bacon or avocado, I chose bacon, it has the bacon flavor, it wasnt as soft as I wanted it, but it also wasnt super crunchy. It was a 50/50 of both soft and crunchy. If you like bacon, then get it, they cook it well. Potatos have perfect crunch to it like a lays chip while still having a lot of the potato starch mixing the different textures and flavor. Eggs cooked to perfection, honestly, the eggs look beautiful, the yolk just oozes out, toast is also crisp but gets soggy quickly with the egg. Tomato looks good but I couldnt really taste it or the spinach with that luscious sauce.

Blueberry Ricotta French Toast: its 16$ if you order 2 slices. When ordering, the waiter asked if I wanted 1 or 2 slices, he said 1 slice was 8$. I guess it was actually 1$ more than his guess cause mine costed 9$. Honestly if your stomach is as small as mine, 1 should be perfectly fine. I couldnt even finish half of it and I still had potatoes left from my coda benedict. For the actual review, I love the blueberry sauce, it was probably the highlight of the dish cause the ricotta was the most questionable ingredient. Ricotta gave me a gritty and slight sour feel for every bite. The toast was fluffy. Im a chewy guy, I wish there was more chew. It felt like a cake at times. The sides of the toast was a little tougher when it comes to cutting it tho so watch out. Also, they gave me warm syrup! I think its for the french toast. Cool bottle shape and the syrup was actually warm to the touch so thats cool.

Extra:

I went in the morning, still busy, waiting time around 15 min

To get a seat, you just walk up to the register and the lady will ask a few questions and hand you those beeping doo hickys and you just wait outside or the waiting room until it beeps, you go back to them and they'll escort you the designated table.

What I like about the beginning is, usually right after being seated they'll immediately ask you if you need anything, but here, you basically get everything you need instantly and they go off without any questions. I like this cause in the beginning there isnt much you need besides water, menu, napkins and utensils. Which should all be default anyways.

Good service, everyone was busy but were all very helpful. Theres always someone whos on the watch at the front desk, if you just go over there for a question, you wont need to wait long for someone to respond

I love the waiter, I had the outside table so idk if he's there for the other tables but the guy was super nice and has lots of personality. He's also always around so if you ever need to call him ul, he's there.

I really love this place as a first time customer, they cooked that eggs benedict perfectly, like really, most home fries Ive had usually never have this level of crisp to it. And my first time having eggs benedict and im so glad this was my first

5/5

I haven't been here since Covid, and they added an entire back area where there is a beer and wine garden, outdoor dining, it was so pretty and now that the weather is cooling down, it was so nice to eat out there. The food is just as good as I remember, and the mixed champagne drinks are to die for.
