Editorial Review for Wilde Roast Cafe – by Stephanie Davila

In Short
The dim Victorian-style cafe greets visitors with a hushed chatter as a medley of business diners and students converse over frothy mochas and loose-leaf teas. The oversized armchairs and bistro tables encourage patrons to linger while savoring made-from-scratch desserts, ambitious sandwiches, gourmet pizzas and mixed greens salads. The dark espresso-stained decor mimics the coffee beans lined behind the front counter, as chefs flaunt their cooking skills in the open-face mini kitchen.

I live in the neighborhood and I really wanted to love this place...but I can't. I have been here several times and the only thing on the menu that is good are the cornmeal pancakes for brunch/breakfast. The rest of it...bland, dry, tasteless and overpriced. Oh, don't forget the rude service on the side. The lattes are good too and that's about it. One more thing, I strongly question the sanitation of the place...my boyfriend swears he saw creature scurrying across the floor but in an effort not to scare the s**t out of my mother he kept quite. Go down the street to Brasa or the Bulldog for good food and friendlier people.

Pros: The interior is cool and unique

Cons: Pretty much the rest

I ate here on the recommend of a friend...it was not very good. I am a vegetarian and so is my husband. We later found out that our order contained gelatin. Very sad. I was also upset due to the fact that there was no where to sit. The place was packed with single people and their laptops-we did ask someone who was just nursing a cup of coffee if we could share the table with him. (it sat 4) He just left. Oh well..this is maybe an ok place if you just want some coffee or a dessert-I certainly would not eat here again. Also, the bill was 45.00 (inc tip) for 2. Yikes!
