Under The Umbrella

Anything but under an umbrellaSo hot out with no seats chairs or umbrellas to sit or stand under. Breakfast & coffeewas quick and good but you'll only find shade under a tree while you wait. Tables chairs and an umbrella would be great for your customers!

Since my original review these folks have moved across the street to the north side of 12th Avenue into a much smaller space. They are no longer a bakery/restaurant, but operate solely as a take-out window. You cannot go inside and there is no seating.The drinks menu includes coffee, espresso drinks, tea, chai, cocoa, and agua frescas. There are breakfast sandwiches on a bagel or a croissant, breakfast burritos, half a dozen pastry choices, and some daily varieties of deli sandwiches.There is absolutely no shelter from the weather, so you bake in the sun, get wet, or freeze while waiting in line. An awning or some sort of pergola would be a nice addition to the building. This is a busy intersection, so street parking is limited. There is an equally busy parking lot just west of the shop.This place is busy at breakfast time. You can order in advance by telephone or by using the Web site. Telephone may be a better option as they don't seem to monitor the incoming Web orders very well. You still need to wait your turn in line to pick up an order.I'm not a huge fan of the baked items here. The croissants have been regularly overbaked for my taste and are crumbly and dry. Other pastries I've tried have been average. The breakfast sandwiches are OK--nothing special. Really more of a coffee shop these days.

Stopped by here after I saw a line for the window and decided to give it a try. I got one of the specials on the board: Vanilla rose matcha. I got it half sweetened and it was still really good. They moved pretty fast when I went during the week. I only had to wait maybe couple of minutes. Will come back to try the coffee next time.

This is a great little spot in the area!! I love their OMG matcha and their breakfast burritos. The only thing I'd have to say about this place is that I ordered a veggie burrito today but was given a burrito with sausage. I unknowingly ate half of it right away before looking down and seeing pieces of meat inside. I gave the rest to my boyfriend because I was a bit saddened initially, but I called them and they said they'd process a refund for me! I'd still recommend Under the Umbrella to others -- just double check if you got the right order first!!

Slowly has become one of my favorite breakfast spots. Ideal place to pick up breakfast on a sunny day since it's basically a pick up window so you will be standing outside.. and sometimes there is a line and a wait to grab the food but it does move quickly. They run out of burritos pretty often (I have actually never been able to snag one!) but my go to is a bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant. It's big enough for two in my opinion if you don't have a big appetite. Their coffee is also solid. They have summer specialty flavors and such if you're feeling adventurous!

Saw the reviews about the croissant BEC and had to try. It seemed pricey at first, but the portion was worth it! It was delicious. I will definitely be coming back when I'm in town. Of course I also had to try an iced mocha. Good info to know: there is no seating, just a walk up window.

I think this place is a bit on the pricey side, but their breakfast sandwiches and their pastries are definitely worth it! We got two egg and cheese croissants (BEST I HAVE EVER HAD BY THE WAY! ), two small coffees (one hot, one iced: The hot had a bit more flavor, but both were not very memorable), and a lemon bar (OMG! MUST TRY!) and we paid almost $40.)This place is cute, you walk up to the window and order and there is a bench right outside where you can sit, wait, enjoy your coffee, and soak in the beautiful day if the weather permits. This place can get busy, so be prepaid to wait in a small line.

This is the cutest local shop ever! They bake everything fresh in house every morning and they are so friendly with everyone, I was visiting but they had several locals that were regulars swing by while I waited for my food. The food was delicious and exactly what I wanted for a quick breakfast to go type of deal. I've also never had a golden latte and it was absolutely delicious I'll be ordering more of those from every coffee shop I go to from now on

Unclear how many things they could have gotten wrong with my order. So many better places in the neighborhood to spend money. Wrong bagel. not toasted (as per asked), not inside scooped out (the person at the counter actually said they didn't have an ice-cream scooper). Asked for hot sauce - none!

Food was amazing!! The service was absolutely awesome! The owner came out and greeted us as we ordered. The food was to die for! Loved it!
