    Based on reviews I decided to try this café while waiting for my son to finish jury duty. I was glad to see a 30 minute parking spot in front. As soon as I walked in, I could see the menu above and a display of pastries by the register. No one else was in line, but I couldn't tell if they were ready for me to order, as the girl at the counter was quiet. When she looked directly at me for longer than a second, I gathered she was ready for me. Wanting something savory for breakfast, I decided upon the garlic avo toast. I already had coffee that morning, but got tempted into ordering the lavender fog latte as well because I can't resist anything lavender. After confirming it wasn't super sweet, just lightly sweet due to the lavender and vanilla syrups, I gave in. I sat and waited maybe 5 minutes for my order at one of the small tables inside. First, the latte was ready, which was exactly as promised - lightly sweet, hint of lavender but not strong, very balanced flavors. Then, when the toast was ready, which I had ordered to go, the girl called me and thanked me by name. It was wrapped nicely in a sandwich baggie with a napkin as well. Wow, I wish I could make avocado toast this well myself. The garlic was very fresh, tasted a bit pickled, but carefully sliced and very well distributed across the toast. The avocado was generous and well proportioned. The seasonings and sprouts were balanced as well, and I really liked that the toast was thin and crispy, which made it easy to bite and break cleanly, but not so much that it hurt my mouth, a pet peeve of mine. One of my takeaways from visiting Japan is that a lot of care and attention to detail is put into what is served, and this is apparent at Kuma Café as well. I'm definitely bookmarking this as a go-to when I'm in the area. Perhaps I won't be dreading jury duty after all if it means I get to come here!

    Quickly tucked in for a smoothie on an afternoon while on jury duty. They have a great menu, and healthy options. Prices are steep, but seems like it could be the area. One of the better options in the area.

    If you work downtown, this is a great lunch spot! Their menu is simple and concise. They're drinks made, both coffee and smoothies are great and worth the wait (esp. during lunch hour). I ordered the kuma bowl. The chicken was tender and the rice was flavorful. I wish they gave more of the pico and avocado. They serve breakfast foods and get their pastries while they last!! Cute little spot, I'll be back for more!

    I came in for lunch and got an açaí bowl. Service was friendly and the place looked clean. I got the bowl pretty quickly. It had the typical toppings and I added almond butter for a bit of fat all the fruit was flavorful. It was a bit pricey but açaí bowls are a bit bougie and guess. Not much parking but it's perfect if you're at the courthouse.
