Halcyon

Always a cool spot

I wanted to like this place because of the location but I’ve been pretty disappointed both times I went. No love goes into the food or drinks - everything is either bland or over sweetened, servers aren’t engaged. Just another cafe!

Coffee was ok except the ice Vietnamese Coffee was warm with a small amount of ice. No recycling bin which is crazy bad

Great coffee, nice relaxing ambiance and courteous staff. What else do you need when catching up with a good friend!

Oh, how I wish I could give this more stars, especially since it’s a neighborhood joint that I can walk to from my apartment. Unfortunately no matter what type of management change or service personnel they get there is always something wrong here. Let’s start with entering the place. The doors are so heavy that if you had a child or a pet be forewarned, it could smash your fingers. There’s meh table service, you have to order at the cashier which is something I really don’t like, but OK let’s get over that. The food is awful. It’s either cold, way too salty, or just plain bland, and the coffee is good no complaints there. But once you go to sit at the table, the tables are too high the seats are too low. They are chipped everywhere so you can’t wear business clothes- better come in your jogging suit. The music is so loud that you can never conduct a zoom call or a phone call even with earbuds. Supposedly they put on the ceiling some insulation but it does absolutely nothing.

Great place for dancing Wednesday and Sunday nights and a chill place to hang right off the park the rest of the time

Cool place to hang. I got chocolate espresso martini and I liked it. Taste -> delightful Overall -> 5/5
