Truth KnowledgeMay 5, 2013Very cute cafe with outdoor seating nestled within a beautiful garden. Today, I had a delicious latte and a bran muffin. There are breakfast and lunch options. I will definitely go back.
Reverie is fantastic and has a very loyal clientele. Get to know the staff because they are all nice. If you don't like something here, go somewhere else. Only Reverie lovers allowed!!
rochelle folesApril 16, 2012Arial makes some seriously deelish french toast 2 warm your tummy &the rest of your insides on our freezing spring evenings, pair it w my uzh, a 4x latte, really warm & baby are you in for a treat!
Sana RaoApril 9, 2014Great patio at the back and amazing service. Didn't know they were cash only and ordered food- the guy at the counter discounted my bill to fit what I had. :)
James TFebruary 12, 2017Really good breakfast and brunch options (until 3pm). I like the bagel sandwiches and the breakfast burritos.
Kurt NelsonMay 19, 2022Great low-wind back garden patio. Quiet in the evenings, perfect for a mellow date.
They make a damn good almond milk dirty Chai. Staff is always friendly, food is always good. Cash only.
Zachary CrockettDecember 29, 2016Shak Shouka is amazing, eggs poached in tomatoes & peppers served with pita for dipping. Pass on coffee (not great); get tea instead.
Limor FaragunaFebruary 26, 2014We had the breakfast burrito and chicken salad. Both were very good. Halva is also a nice treat.
Ting SNovember 6, 2015A hidden garden in the back makes everything different. Besides they have lots of choices of breakfast.
Maz AmeliAugust 13, 2014The breakfast burrito is good, but has too many beans. The Mediterranean dinner options are good, and the chicken sandwich is fantastic.
Matthew TraubMay 24, 2015Big portions. Mac & cheese is otherworldly. Chicken shawarma and tandoori wrap are both delicious.- Get the spinach breakfast burrito - at $6 it's a great deal, cheaper than the cheapest salad ($8).
- James TFebruary 12, 2017Underrated lunch offerings. Bacon cheeseburger with red pepper aioli was tasty.
Sarah SchlengerNovember 4, 2019The patio atmosphere is sunny and quiet. I love the crab Benedict special.
Madison MinnerSeptember 13, 2013I loved the salmon and avocado eggs benedict! Definitely check out the adorable patio.
Several tips state that it’s cash only and no WiFi but that’s no longer true. At one time it was, but now they take credit cards and ApplePay. They now have WiFi weekdays only.- Use the Cholula packets (hiding in the back corner) on your burrito.
Maja PetkovicSeptember 24, 2014Lovely food, great garden seating in the back and super nice service!
Outstanding breakfasts and some hidden delicious tapas. Gets cramped, but worth it.
Owned by Roger, who also owns the cheese shop next door. You can get a (fantastic) sandwich there and eat it in Reverie's garden.
Diana, Nick rule. The rancheros Huevos are the best especially with side of sour cream and an iced tea.
Crab cake benedict (no hollandaise) is the best with a side of fruit.
Jay AlexanderSeptember 19, 2010Huevos Rancheros lovers, it is thee BEST! OMG, have it! One other AWESOME item is the chicken panchetta sandwich...OMG! Sooo good!
The huevos rancheros, fava bean dip, and ahi salad are fresh and delightful!
Ros HodgekissNovember 10, 2014Great outdoor patio, but bad coffee and your scramble may turn into an omelette...
Julian MAugust 22, 2013This place has very expensive food but cheap coffee, under 2 bucks at least, and a supremely beautiful and expansive garden out back
Sandwiches are made with stuff from Say Cheese next door, so it can't be all bad.
Paulette BleamOctober 13, 2012I used to come here all the time... but they got rid of their wifi. It's unfortunate. I used to love working out of this cafe.
Richie WeldonJune 28, 2011Cash only and really delicious food! The huevos rancheros were total nom nom nom yummy
Back patio's perfect to sip on a cup of black unpretentious coffee.
