Revisited Cafe La Cerra today and it seems like the establishment has really taken into consideration the feedback from the customers. I'm impressed with the presentation of the acai and granola bowls, which greatly improved from the last time I was here. Check my previous review for the disappointing, sad-looking acai bowl I had.
The bowls are now very consistent (from what I see on Yelp and Instagram)!
Not sure if it's because I was here on a Sunday, but the cafe was pretty packed! Nonetheless, I had a great time catching up with a friend here and we both enjoyed our drinks. The barista was friendly as well.
Overall, I think this cafe has improved and I'll be coming back more often!
Not bad.
We got lattes, which were good. Not terrible but not amazing. I also ordered an acai bowl because I've never tried one before but it was meh. It definitely wasn't worth $9.
The decor was spot on though. I would definitely go back just for the atmosphere. When I went there, which was back in July on a weekday at around 4:30, it wasn't packed. It would be a nice place to chat with a friend or to study and sip on a cup of coffee.
This review is based on my experience via Seamless. I ordered breakfast at 9:35 am, and the delivery estimate was 10:30 am. I had to be somewhere at 11:15 so I would've had about half an hour to eat, which isn't bad at all.
But I waited and waited, and it was 10:40, so I called the restaurant. They said my food was about to be delivered now. So I waited… And it was 11:05 so I absolutely couldn't stay anymore and left. When I came back an hour later, the doorman said they came at 11:30. That's an hour later than their delivery time.
I think one hour for a small breakfast order is already too long of a wait, but they showed up TWO hours later. Sure, restaurants experience busy times, but doubling the wait time – without any notice – and lying that the food was just arriving at the door is a HUGE no, no. I doubt I'll ever order again from this place.
Charging over $10 for 3 mushy croissants is ridiculous. Extremely overpriced and mediocre. Save yourself some money and go somewhere else :/
I came here for an espresso and to work for a few hours. It was ok. Not really somewhere I'd come back to. There wasn't much to the espresso and while the space was clean, for some reason, it didn't feel very inviting. If you like white marble or faux white marble, this is your spot. The wifi was pretty solid though and the music not too loud to where concentrating on work was difficult. Service was meh.
I hate drinking a hot beverage when warm and unfortunately i have been served a warm warm latte here when I stopped by to pick a quick breakfast yesterday morning.
I got the avocado French toast with an egg on the top, I am not an expert of French toasts but egg might be nicer inside or the avocado, having everything on the top is a bit hard to manage while eating and gets cold faster, still it was okay.
The place is so bright, has like 5-6 tables inside. Not good for groups, 2-3 people max. Toast is $8, egg is extra charge, I paid like $15 with the latte but it is a bit expensive for a toast and small latte. Pastries looked fresh and good so I may stop to try them. Let's see.
Came for coffee with a friend and we both thought the cafe was very cute. We ordered coffee and food to stay but were given our lattes in paper cups and our food in plastic take out containers. I see other people got real plates and cups. Everything was ok but the staff was so loud, we could barely hear each other. They were literally yelling to each other and we kept having to repeat ourselves even though we were at the same tiny table.
I love that this cafe is in a prime location but not at all crowded. I'm all about venues like these…
