Cafe 13

The coffee was very good, I had a lavender latte with oat milk and the baristas were very personable. The location is great and the building is beautiful. Only 4 stars because the avocado toast bordered on inedible/repulsive. I'm not sure if the avocado they used was just overly ripe but it had a distinctly fishy flavor. It was served on plain sandwich bread and there was nothing really memorable about it other than the taste of fish, definitely not worth the 10+ dollars they charge for it. I would go back for the coffee but definitely not the food.

Super cute place with great food! When you walk in go up to the counter and order your food, then they will give you a number. Finding a seat can be a little tricky inside but they also have outdoor seating. Portions are on the smaller side but OMG are they delicious! We'll be back to try the Chi tea and a pastry!

I used to go to Cafe 13 almost every weekday. It was my top recommendation to others looking for a cafe or place to grab food together. It was a great environment to settle in, hang out, have meetings and get some work done. Now I still occasionally call in orders to go because a lot of the food is ridiculously good. But the wait times for just going there to dine in or settle at a table to work have become downright inexcusable. Staff moves at a leisurely pace and a line that would take another establishment ten minutes to cruise through takes them half an hour or more. It seems the place has gotten comfortable with their following and has no issue with making people wait and wait. Strongly recommend management step up and address this problem in a meaningful way; it's affecting reviews and customer loyalty. I've seen a pattern in this review section of shifting blame or otherwise denying responsibility when reviews mention the wait time. But the truth is, this problem can be addressed. Give some attention to staff culture (productive and efficient!), specify clear expectations (what is a respectful wait time to ask of the average customer? What specific things can employees do to meet that wait time?), and put some focus into streamlining the process. Cafe 13 has too much to offer to not do better than this.

We were there on Sunday morning in July. The line to order went all the way outside. One of us grabbed a table while the rest of the group waited in line for about a half hour. There is seating inside and outside. I need to eat gluten free so had the Quinoa Bowl.... delicious! It's quinoa cooked in coconut milk and honey, topped with chia seeds, sliced almonds, pumpkins seeds, apple slices and berries - served cold. The rest of the family had the sticky buns, they looked good! The coffee is great too.
