Crema's Take

Enswell is a warmly attentive spot where the thoughtful service shines just as bright as their creative drinks and high-quality ingredients—staff consistently check in on you and genuinely care about your experience. The space itself is intimate and beautifully designed, making it ideal for lingering over a specialty coffee or one of their intriguing signature cocktails, though it does get snug when it fills up. This is the kind of neighborhood gem people should be talking about more, where you can settle in for a slow, unhurried moment with excellent food, drink, and genuine hospitality.

The customer service was great, consistently checked in on us as well as other tables. The ambiance, decor, and energy was good, it's just a tight space once enough people start getting seated. 

Now as far as the food is concerned it was between a 3 and 4 for a few reasons. Let's start with the shared plate - cinnamon knot bread. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't anything amazing either. It was a case of trying to be too balanced, not sweet enough for a sugar lover but too bland for a not sugar lover. The cream icing I was not a fan of and the bread itself was slightly dry.

For the meal we got the classic breakfast + steak and eggs. The potatoes were 5/5 as they had the right crisp on them. The steak and bacon were 5/5, thick cut bacon slices cooked just crisp enough but not burnt. The steak was ordered medium, came out closer to the rarer side but it had good flavor, cut clean, and chewed easy. The eggs were eggs.

Lastly, the iced brown sugar latte to drink was solid, the ice cubes were huge which I found funny. All in all, I think we'd go again just not soon or we are in the area.

Absolutely wonderful experience. We didn’t have a reservation, but Allison at the door (excuse if I am misspelling the name) double checked that there was space and sat us. The food was tasty and timely. We had the Benedict eggs, the French omelette, and a croissant for our little one. I also got coffee and a glass of rose. Our server was Cody and he was super attentive and even brought us sides to see if we would like them with our order (without even asking for them) - the service was amazing. We were discussing with Cody how I had been to ritzy restaurants but the service was disappointing. The good vibes in this place was a refreshing experience. Highly recommend. :)

Surprised people don’t talk about Enswell more. The menu is great, they use high quality ingredients, and the servers are very kind. Great spot for a relaxing lunch with a friend or a coffee with a snack.

Had a fantastic experience at Enswell. The ambience was beautiful and comfortable, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. The menu offered creative and intriguing dishes with unusual flavor combinations that worked perfectly. Everything we tried was delicious and presented beautifully. The standout for me was definitely the duck, absolutely incredible. My pumpkin cocktail was also amazing, and I’m very picky with cocktails. Highly recommend.

We indulged in the Piccadilly, Pear Naked Lady and Side Kimchi. The cocktails were all very unique and delicious and the space was gorgeous. The service here is fantastic, got a chance to ask questions from the bartender as well as our waitress was absolutely fantastic and attentive. We enjoyed the warm potato bread that exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend if you’re feeling a little peckish, you will leave very satisfied.
