It is always cold so take a warmer sweater/jacket. This is however the second time I ordered the cinnamon rolls that didn’t come before my meal like requested. I did enjoy my breakfast of lemon berry, ricotta, pancakes, and the chicken sausage. Their coffee is really good as well. They’re a latte is very strong. Overall great food. They did waive the fee for the rolls since they didn’t come out in time.

I had a great time at the Square Cafe!! My best friend and I stopped by for a quick coffee. It is more of a sit-down establishment but they still had a bar that we were sat at immediately for some drinks. The menu is amazing with so many different options that are creative to satisfy all taste pallets especially those who like complex and fun flavors. We ordered the pistachio mocha latte and the turtle latte which the waiter was so so so nice to split two larges in four cups so my friend and I could share equally. This service was AMAZING! We love both drinks and had so much fun trying new flavors and comparing them. We wish we could’ve stayed to try the juices, smoothies, and food but that just means we have to come back! The decorations we also so cool with bright colors and designs. LQBTQ+ friendly

Always delicious, seasonal specialties that are worth trying but hard to commit to when I have so many established favorites that never disappoint! Highly recommend the white bean hash (current special menu item) delicious and perfect for this cold weather. Their lattes are wonderful but opted for their London Fog (Earl grey) and it was perfection! Staff are always wonderful and attentive, so cannot recommend more. Also pictured my usual fav, short rib eggs Benedict!

We ordered buttermilk pancake and corn beef Benedict, they are both very very delicious! Pancakes are huge ($4.5 per piece is not very expensive for the size). I love the unlimited cold brew - most place doesn’t do it anymore. The menu design is very good, it is very easy to understand and make decisions despite they have many items available. They have a bunch of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free stuff. The service is very fast and friendly. We will come back.

Ive been here before and it was great! This review reflects my most recent visit. The good: The matcha lavender Latte and blueberry pancake were great 🥞 The bad: The square breakfast is a miss, and should be taken off the menu. For a restaurant like this, there needs to be more value than what you are given. I received what seemed to be half an egg, some very dry potato cubes and plain sourdough bread with no jam on the table. The sausage links were fine, but overall this meal just does not belong on the menu, especially at the price point (around $15). Please fix!
