"The sopa de fideo nuddles were slightly burnt over cooked and lack flavor. Where was the conzume flavor. Other than that. Great sandwiches. Try the ground carnitas sandwich. Tasty loaded grilled cheese. Good tuna salad. Good coffee. MUST HAVE DESSERTS."

"I met a friend here for lunch, and it was my first time at this establishment. When I arrived, I wasn’t quite sure which door to go in because it wasn’t labeled. I am so glad I went around the wrong side and I actually went in through the bike shop. I was really happy I did that because there is a gentleman who has a photography display of a bunch of artists! It was a great opportunity to take in some great works of art. And they’re all for sale too! The lady who was there when I came in was incredibly helpful and let me know which door I could enter the restaurant through. The restaurant itself is adorable. It has a great atmosphere, I love all the windows, and the decor is really nice. This is an amazing place to meet someone and be able to carry on a conversation. Unfortunately, I didn’t care for my lunch plate. I ordered the podium burger, and I was disappointed because the burger is a patty you could buy at any frozen food section. I think they would have a home run if they would make their own patties. The best part of the plate was this jalapeño cream sauce that was absolutely delicious. My friend had a turkey wrap and it looked great. She would definitely order it again. I think I would’ve been happier with the breakfast menu and I am willing to try it again for that reason. I think I would’ve loved to see a taco plate on the lunch menu since they have a breakfast taco plate. Or even an enchilada plate or the chilaquiles. Especially since they’ve had so many positive reviews on their chilaquiles! I think having that option on their lunch menu would be amazing! But if you’re looking for a new place to try, give The Podium a shot! When I do try it for breakfast, I am definitely going to give their ☕️ a try because they sound so enticing!"

"We recently attended a small birthday gathering at Podium Finish Coffee & Bikes and were left deeply disappointed by how the reservation was handled. When my friend originally booked the private room, the owner clearly told her that the $150 reservation fee would be applied to the final bill. However, when the check arrived, that credit was not applied. The owner claimed they “no longer do that,” despite having previously made the promise — and unfortunately, there was no written contract to back it up. When we politely asked if he could honor what was promised, he refused, saying he needed the fee to pay his staff. That would be understandable if we had received attentive service — but we didn’t. We had just one server for our 10-person party, and she was frequently absent, helping other tables outside our reserved space. Our refills were rare, and water wasn’t consistent. To add to the frustration, we were still charged for all drinks and even billed an extra $10 for a tablecloth — despite the owner previously saying the $150 would cover the room and drinks. In the end, my friend paid $150 for the deposit plus $150 for the meal, and we all left feeling misled and honestly a bit taken advantage of. The food itself was good, but the experience left a bad taste. I would caution anyone looking to book a private room here: Get everything in writing, and don’t assume a verbal agreement will be honored. Disappointing service and broken promises shouldn’t be part of a celebration."

"Such a great vibe to come meet with friends or clients, or even by yourself to do a little work. Music isn’t too loud which is great for working or conversation. Breakfast and coffee were excellent. Can’t wait to come back to try the lunch menu!"

"I went here with my daughter on a Saturday and the staff brought us in and got our order quick. The food was delicious, the waitress checked on us continuously, and even let us order food to go. I recommend bringing special someone here, your family, or a close group of friends."
