Café Consume

This cafe is amazing! It’s clear they have worked hard to create a cohesive atmosphere and strong image for the cafe. This makes the atmosphere very warm and inviting. I love all the small details such as the cafe name stamped onto the food boxes and cups. The simple branding is straightforward and very pleasing. The menu has a good variety of items while still providing you the confidence that whatever you order will be made with care and taste phenomenal. I ordered the ginger peach tea with honey and it was divine, not to mention the prices are great. I love that the syrups are also homemade! They have a few food options but the one that stands out to me is the bacon, egg, and cheese on the bagel. I will absolutely be back to try more on the menu!

First time at this coffee shop and honestly it definitely made my top 5. The sandwiches were good even though I thought they were a bit pricey at first but honestly they’re worth it. They don’t have many flavors to add to coffee or matcha but also the two flavors they do have do not disappoint. My boyfriend had a matcha with oat milk and added wildflower honey. I order a Cafe miel with oat milk. Service was great, location is small but cozy, very positive atmosphere. We will definitely be back when the weather is nice to experience the outside patio.

Matcha and masala chai soo good! Must try! I read the reviews and these two drinks along with the latte and bourbon vanilla syrup were highly rated. I tried the matcha and masala chai with cinnamon and since it was cold we got them hot and boy they did not disappoint! Highly recommend both! The matcha was smooth and creamy and I could actually taste it! The masala was warming with the spices and reminded me of horchata very similar tasting. Of the two, matcha was my fav. Unfortunately I couldn't taste the bourbon vanilla flavor in my matcha and I paid extra for it. I don't think I'll get the syrup next time just so I can see how it tastes without it to see if it actually tastes different. I think maybe the matcha masks the taste of the syrup bc the flavor of the matcha is so strong or they don't put enough syrup. Hard to tell so I won't dock a star for that but something they should look into so customers can actually enjoy the matcha AND the taste of their bourbon syrup! Maybe play around with the ratios of the powder and syrup to find a balance! But I'am glad I could actually taste the matcha flavor though, I'm so tired of cafes making it so milky you can't even taste the matcha itself. I just wish I would have tasted the syrup too especially since I paid almost a dollar extra for it. This cafe does make a great matcha though, one of the best matchas I've had, and I've tried many in the city, this is coming from someone who makes it daily at home and has tried many ceremonial grade matcha brands. I also appreciate the aesthetic putting a design (I think it was a heart) on the matcha cream foam even though I had it in a to go cup, I removed the lid and could see it, which was a nice touch. We ordered the bacon egg croissant and the bagel egg n meat patty. Both were good but the croissant was best. The everything bagel with sesame seeds has a nice thickness but very salty with the sesame seeds maybe it might have been more palatable with a plain bagel but it was also very dense which I did not like. But if you like dense thick bagels this is for you! I preferred and highly recommend the croissant instead it was light, flakey, and buttery and went well with the egg and melted cheddar. It came with two chunky slices of bacon. The egg was fluffy, soft, and the bacon was crispy. Everything was prepared quickly and was served warm. Each one was $12 and the drinks were $6+ each. With tax came out to $40+ (tax and tip included) but I think the crossiant and bagel breakfast sandwiches should range in price from $8-10. I think that's fair and I hope they consider lowering the price. I'd love to purchase them again but can't justify paying $12 for each one. I docked off one star for this reason bc it is pricey. I understand it's a small local business so their prices will be higher but $40+ for only two drinks and two breakfast sandwiches is steep!! Unfortunately I wouldn't buy the food due to the price. I could get two breakfast sandwiches at McDonald's for that price, obviously not with the crossiant, but for that same price I could feed two people versus one. I will say the drinks are an excellent value though ranging from $3-6 for 12-24oz and the quality is great especially for the matcha. If I'm in the area I'll stop by to try only their coffee lattes/teas. The inside is small but cozy and they have a nice spacious outdoor patio for the summer. Hard to find parking but we snagged a spot a block away. They have a vintage shop next door that they also own with cool 90s clothing and trinkets. Pricey but fun to browse.
