Slake Cafe

The establishment has ensured safety for all patrons! It’s a quite yet cozy little spot. Was walking by when the workers where putting out the sign so decided to stop on by. This is my first experience here at Slake. Such friendly and open environment! I ordered the : Lemon poppyseed muffin This is so yummy! I will say because it’s such a big muffin that there are parts that are more dryer throughout as I’m eating this muffin. The texture is what you expect minus some dryer parts. Overall it’s was an amazing muffin and space that is why they got all 5s!!!

I got the bacon egg and cheese "biscuit" it's still more like a bun but it really works! They use shredded cheese..I wanted to go w American but it's not available, but again..it all works and it was really good! The bacon jam is cold ..it has a good taste it's like bacon bits w jam mixed in...if it was warm I would have liked it more, glad I ordered regular bacon instead of just bacon jam and got that stuff on the side. The eggs were fluffy so, I was impressed w that lol.

Quick friendly service. Had a Groupon for a discount and was treated great. Will be back for more! Dirty Bird Sandwich was dripping with Smoked Gouda Queso! 😋

Update: We've returned back to the office and I've been hoping to find a usual spot given that several locations have closed or changed their hours since the pandemic. I chose to revisit Slake. I went for lunch by myself, then another day with a coworker, and another day with another coworker, and yet again by myself within a 2 week period. So it would go without saying I've found my usual spot. Delicious Dirty Cow Burger, Loaded Fries, Mac and Cheese, Caprese sandwich, side mixed greens salad, and Mr. Biscuit breakfast sandwich, and solid drip coffee, plus coffee with a cause (pic included). I may continue until I've tried one of everything on their menu! Service was spot on and food was finger-licking good each time. *********** Today was my first visit to Slake Café with coworkers. I was looking forward to the visit in hopes of finding a go-to lunch spot close to work. Unfortunately, I was slightly disappointed. I had the Bahn Mi sandwich which was on the dry side (I recommend trying a salad instead, my coworkers seemed to like theirs). When I ordered the sandwich, our server asked if I'd like to make it an Express Combo, which comes with a cup of soup (or chips) and a drink, so I said sure and asked if I could choose any of the drinks listed under "Beverages", and she said yes. This wasn't the case - I ordered a Topo Chico and was charged an additional $2. One of my coworkers overheard her say yes to my question and had ordered a TX Tea. When we got our checks, my coworker asked why he was charged for his drink and our server said only Iced Tea or Fountain Drinks were included. One, a Topo Chico is cheaper than their Fountain Drinks, and two, if we ordered drinks that weren't included, it would be nice to be told that on the front end, even though I explicitly asked beforehand. Although, to our server's defense, she may have been stretched thin with the lunch rush. Perhaps better coverage during the lunch rush is needed.

Friendly service and really good food. I ordered the señor breakfast taco and it was amazing. Good coffee too.
