Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Friendly and attentive service, locally owned place that aims to please and has lots of options. Kid friendly too, my daughter’s and I decorated ornaments, had a bite to eat and they played some video games. Great after school spot. My favorite part is that they offer a gluten free option for burritos, a GF tortilla wrap & it’s delicious. My favorite filling for the bahn mi is the pork belly, but all options I’ve tried are good. Love the Vietnamese coffee with a splash of cream. There’s also many gluten free and vegan options in the bakery case from Sweet Simon. Love visiting regularly!

Some of the best matcha I've had since visiting Uji. Most places mess up the ratio of milk to powder in a matcha latte, but you absolutely get what you pay for here. I also loved the banh mi burrito, Thai tea, and macarons! Everything save for the baked stuff was made to order. I'll have to go back to try their pastries some time. The staff were very chill and welcoming, and the vibe was great inside with board games, a Christmas tree decorated with hand-drawn ornaments from customers, and plenty of seating (including a very comfortable couch). Great food and drinks paired with a great atmosphere, absolutely something Mesa has long needed.

Fabulous food, drinks, and a wonderful low key place to hang out and play games. We got a cold brew, a Thai tea, a cortado, three bahn mi sandwiches, two pastries, and several macarons. The prices are wonderful and everything was incredible. The ingredients are top notch. Customer service was lovely. Atmosphere really pulls you into a community feel. We will be back to try more!
