I had high hopes for this place but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. We got two hot lattes and they were really sweet and that should’ve been a give away but we thought that it was just a sleight of hand.Ended up ordering the California burger and the churro French toast.
The burger was delicious but the French toast was INEDIBLE.
I was so disappointed.
It was too sweet for any human to eat in my opinion.
Sweeter than most ice creams when they’re melted.
It was also very hard and dry.
I took two bites and couldn’t continue.
When I told the waitress she didn’t even offer sympathies she just said well yeah that’s how it is.
Unfortunately I won’t be returning.


TB2B (The Place 2 Be) I recently visited TB2B and had an excellent experience.
The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, living up to its name as "The Place 2 Be." I ordered the "Southern Benny," which was a delightful twist on the classic eggs Benedict, and it was absolutely delicious.
The combination of flavors was spot on and truly satisfying. To complement my meal, I had an Espresso Martini, which was perfectly crafted and provided a delightful kick. I want to give a Special shoutout to my server, Q, who was kind and amazing.
Their attentive and friendly service made the experience even better. Overall, TB2B exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to returning soon.


Advancement with technology is great in the outside world, but handheld menus really are necessary.
Struggles with service to load menu, links don't work properly, and for those who have a hard time reading small lettering on the phones (My mother), it's not easy to navigate.
Music was beyond obnoxiously loud.
We asked to be seated outside instead, chairs were beyond uncomfortable but it was the price to pay to escape the annoyingly loud music inside. Atmosphere was okay.
Our waitress was Ariana and she was phenomenal.
She had a lot going on and others brought our food to the table and those who rushed food for her were not friendly by any means.
Drinks came after food, disorganized arrival of foods.
Dish by dish, not as a whole delivered collectively.
One person's meal arrives, two minutes later another, five minutes another, not at all cohesive in order to all enjoy a meal together without food getting cold or gross.
The food was okay, nothing to brag about.
Cute to look at and photograph but that's about it.
Caramel Apple pancakes were great but maybe as a "dessert," not as a meal.
Drinks don't look like the photos that their digital menu provides.
All workers who rushed food for Ariana seemed annoyed to be there, zero customer service skills.
Ariana was the SWEETEST, girlfriend needs a raise! She is the ONLY reason why we liked this experience.
Very attentitive and accommodating.
She earned a $30 tip.
Food was pricey and not all up to the standard of the hype but she made the experience worth it as we were there celebrating for a birthday brunch (4 of us). Would not come again, but thank you Ariana for your kindness, and amazing customer service skills! Keep it up! Without her, this would've been a 1 star rating.
