Cafe Bench: Reviews & Ratings
Came here on a Thursday night to check out their crepes. The Lady Nana was so delicious! The vanilla ice cream portion was generous, with enough ice cream for each bite of banana and crepe. I'm not usually a fan of banana flavor but the combination of ice cream, banana, and crepe made for a perfect and chewy bite! Highly recommend!
Food was delicious and the coffee was great. Very accommodating by making it decaf for me. Would definitely return. My friends Lady Nana looked very appetizing as well.
Cute cafe to grab brunch and dessert. Orders are taken at the counter and you're notified when it's ready. Plenty of nice sized tables which were not overly crowded together. Enjoyed my ice cappuccino and grilled chicken crepe. It got surprisingly busy for a weekday afternoon.
I came here for post-dinner dessert with my friends. It's pretty spacious inside, but the tables are quite close together probably to acommodate more people, but that's not unusual in my opinion. The interior is decorated very beautifully and we were fortunate to go during the holidays because their Christmas decor was amazing. We got 2 dessert crepes, one with orange marmalade and chocolate and another with red bean and matcha ice cream. They were good, but not amazing, but good. We didn't try their drinks but if I return, I will since a lot of reviews are mentioning their drinks. Service was friendly and prompt. A good spot to enjoy dessert and chat, catch up with friends, etc.
Things to know - there are like 4 parking spots in the back but usually filled. They no longer the Apple Pay or android play. Cash or card only. We tried the dolce latte and I loved it - the bear (whom looked like he was trying to get out of the cup) was made of coffee and there were coffee ice cubes along with espresso inside of condensed milk. I also tried the Almonds Nut Truffle and although I liked it and don't regret ordering it, I probably wouldn't get it again. But if you like nuts and a light ice cream touch - this would be perfect for you.
A cutely decorated place with baristas that know what they're doing. I used to work across the street and went for the Iced Americano all the time. They have cute little pasties and treats.
This is still one of my favorite cafes. It's really nicely decorated and so cute with the nice lighting which makes it feel so cozy. There is no table service here, you just order/pay at the counter and they give you a buzzer when you're food is ready. I got the turkey crepe which came with a side salad. I also ordered a cappuccino along with a passion fruit drink. The food was prepared quickly and was tasty. I loved my little cinnamon design on my cappuccino...so cute! One thing about this place is you must bring your tray and plates/glasses etc back to the counter and clean up your table when done. I know they don't like it if you leave everything at the table and simply leave because there is no waitstaff there. Easy enough to do and I always like to clean up after myself anyway to leave it nice for the next person.
This is a cute spot to hangout with friends and take lot of nice pics. With regards to the food, it's decent and they have a good dessert selection - they're known for their crepes. I had brunch here and it was a really nice spot to chat and chill. It's a bit busy and bustling and is a fairly popular spot. You place your order directly at the counter and pick up when the order is ready for your table. I had the Teriken crepe, which was savory with chicken and teriyaki sauce, and the Amaretto Nut Truffle. I also had the Blueberry Lavenderade to drink. Overall, the food was good. The crepe was savory and I loved my Amaretto Nut Truffle!! The drink wasn't too bad and was definitely on the tart side, which I liked as well. Overall, this is a great spot for a relaxed time and great pics!
This cafe gives garden party vibes, and you probably wouldn't have known if you hadn't stepped in. I got the Orange Bianco Coffee, and the taste reminded me of creamsicle popsicles. There was some pulp along the bottom, which made for a really interesting drinking texture, but the coffee was really nice and creamy without being too sweet. The wait for the coffee wasn't too long. They also have a restroom, which is super convenient!
