Almonak

I would never come back! Highly NOT recommend. The food was ok and the coffee was good but what really stands out was the bad service. The server was rude right from the start, and we did not feel welcome. The only time he was a little bit excited was when taking orders and knowing we ordered more than 2 items. We even found egg shells in our egg benny and we initially didn’t want to make a big fuss out of it as we knew it was busy and people try their best. However, the moment of truth was when we paid. We tipped $2 for the poor service. The server looked at the machine and turned around, saying to himself “$2?” Sarcastically, as if he was mocking us. He clearly criticized our tip, which means criticizing his poor service. Last time I checked, tip is always OPTIONAL. If you get poor tip, it reflects your own performance and service, not something that you expect, almost so desperately. As a former hospitality worker, I think the last thing a server would do is to express their opinions on tips in front of customers. What the server did revealed was his mindset of poor self control and just plain old GREED. If you’re sooooo soooo desperate, you should have asked me for money, I could just give it to you. Talking behind someone’s back is not cool. We understand the restaurant business is hard, but you absolutely CANNOT expect people to give you so-called sympathy when you didn’t respect them, and you cannot expect people to compensate you for service below standards, not even the bare minimum. The only nice person was the barista at the cafe who listened to us and offered us help and was so kind every time we talked to him. Overall, our sunday morning was still ruined and I think it was such a waste of money. We were sick to our stomach when we left and wished we had never been there. It’s funny how you want to support locals, but locals clearly don’t care about you - all they care about is profit while everyone knows when you deliver good service money will flow to you. Absolutely PATHETIC. I think you could do BETTER, Almonak!

The food is not worth the price, and the service is horrible. I will never be back.

We saw a review and came Infor a quick breakfast before an appointment. The full menu hadn't quite opened yet but the host had options available and in fact spoke to the cooks and was able to open the menu. We both opted for breakfast sandwiches, my husband got the Spanish latte and I got the lavender latte. The lavender latte was *chef's kiss* - brilliant! The Spanish latte was just as good, nice depth of flavor. The breakfast sandwiches came with salad and fried potatoes. Although I was skeptical of salad with breakfast it turned out wonderfully, fresh, light and with a very nice dressing. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft inside. The breakfast sandwich!!! Great combination of flavors, sweet, sour, salty - really well balanced and very much unlike anything I have had locally before. Portions were large and hearty. Service was fantastic. In an area saturated with breakfast franchises, Almonak is a breath of fresh air!

Kept asking us if we wanted to order a drink without giving us enough time to look at the menu. Immediately asked if we wanted tequila at 10:30am. The server was rude, so we left, but still had to pay $8 for a Pellegrino we didn't want.

Went there with the family for Breakfast. The food, coffee, and service, were excellent. The price was just for what you're getting, great quality. Will come again.

I was crunched for time and needed food before an appointment. Stopped in for something quick and the staff hooked me up with a fantastic breakfast sandwich and coffee for the road in no time! While it was a quick stop-in, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Much appreciation, and I'm looking forward to going back for the full dine-in experience!

Such a delicious and lovely dining experience at Almonak! The food is fantastic, service is friendly and prompt, and the restaurant is clean and well decorated. Highly recommend the vegetarian options for the eggs benny, mimosas, and breakfast sandwich (honestly, there's no wrong choice with what you order). Can't wait to go back!
