I just had coffee today, but the breakfasts really looked good. A nice place to start the day.

Came here to get work done for the day and the wifi wouldn’t work for me. I did every possible troubleshooting option to get my laptop to connect and nothing worked. I ended up using my phone’s hotspot. I've never had issues at other For Five Coffee locations when it comes to connecting to the wifi. Other than that, the coffee is good and the employees are super nice, just like the other locations.

Sharp coffee shop. Coffee was very good. Baked goods were really good (especially the lemon olive oil cake). Very friendly staff. Outside seating as well

Staff is friendly and helpful. Croissants are good and generous unlike the shriveled bits one gets at Starbucks. Coffee good

Sure! Here's a description for the platter: "This delicious platter features a perfectly folded omelette filled with fresh spinach and juicy cherry tomatoes. It's accompanied by two slices of golden toasted bread and a generous serving of crispy home fries. The meal is complemented with a hot cup of coffee from 'FIVE ROASTERS,' making it a perfect combination for a hearty brunch or lunch."
