Had a great experience here. I had a veggie sub with tofu, kimchi and some other good stuff. Price was a bit on the high side. The atmosphere is very chill with a combination of virtual workers and diners. The space was a bit noisy so conversation was difficult. Overall, a great pace for lunch either alone or with friends catching up.
We came for breakfast on a quiet January morning. It’s warm and the staff is welcoming. There are lots of coffee and tea choices. We also had the Steak and Egg Breakfast Sandwich.
vibes were nice and its a good spot to chill or work. i came for lunch though and the food was ok. it didnt rlly taste authentic but it was yummy either way. i think the potato salads a bit overrated tho. service was very efficient
Dooby’s is described as a Korean-inspired café, and while the menu does reflect that influence, the exterior and interior don’t give off a distinctly Korean vibe. That said, it’s a cozy, modern spot with a wide selection of coffee drinks, pastries, and food items—definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. I stopped in for a coffee break and tried one of their house-made syrup lattes. I went with the Miso Caramel latte ($4.50), subbed with oat milk for an extra $0.75. It didn’t have a strong miso flavor, but it was still smooth and enjoyable. I also grabbed a Lavender Goat Cheese Scone for $4, which was a highlight. You could see the lavender tea leaves baked in and the goat cheese crumble gave it a savory edge that balanced the floral notes beautifully—highly recommend trying it if you like unique pastries. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, with plenty of seating. It’s the kind of place where people come to chat, study, or work—easygoing and not too loud. They also have a water station with free water available, which is a nice touch. Check out the menu photos if you want to explore more food options and prices. I’d definitely come back to try their full menu next time. A great spot for coffee, conversation, or getting some work done.
It was a beautiful day. I wanted to sit outside and have a coffee. I got a Latte. It was good. There is plenty of seating outside. A review doesn't get any simpler than this. As with other reviewers, that staff is not very well educated on the products and was not very helpful. I asked about the size of the burger patties, and the young man behind the counter proceeds to make a circle shape with his hands to show me. When I asked how many ounces they were, he did not know, nor did any of the other staff. What was amazing to me was that not one staff member took the initiative to walk over to the kitchen to inquire. Problem solving skills anyone?
