Has a sandwich ever pissed you off before? Me either until this afternoon. I ordered the O4W/Italian Focaccia sammie. It was pricey ($34 for the sandwich, a tiny bag of chips, and a cold brew - before tip), so I had high expectations! But unfortunately all I received was SAUCE. SAUCE EVERYWHERE. I know y'all have to justify the insane price somehow, so maybe your team thinks this makes the photos look worthwhile, but it was oozing everywhere and soaking into the focaccia so much it was falling apart. The greens were even tossed in tons of sauce before adding them to the sandwich, THEN they put about a half cup of a mustard seed type of sauce on top of that. It honestly PMO to the point where I had to sign up for after-work yoga because my heart rate was so elevated. I used 11 (ELEVEN) napkins to remove the greens, wipe off the sauce, and wipe my clothes, hands, and the table around me from the sauce that dripped everywhere. Even then there was still tons of sauce SAUCE SAUCE SAUCE. I'm not trying to be another white woman scared of flavor, but mustard seed is strong, and easily overwhelms when not done right. I couldn't taste the focaccia or the ingredients of sandwich at all, and now I reek of mustard seed. You still get three stars. The coffee is good, the staff was pleasant, and the excellent breakfast biscuit redeems your crappy sauce operations.
I hate giving bad reviews, but people need to know what they might get before coming here. If you want overpriced and average tasting coffee served with bad customer service, come here. I’ve tried to give this place a shot but I give up. I visit multiple times a year from NYC and have gone here a bunch of times because it’s close to where I’m staying. But after today’s visit I’m so done… thanks but no thanks Finca O4W. Their specialty drinks aren’t special, they sound interesting on paper but ordering them will only give you buyer’s remorse. Their coffee and food are ok but so not worth the price you pay, I always get sticker shocked at check out and I come from NYC. Only thing going for them is their seating area, it has a chill vibe… nice place to chat and/or work, but order the cheapest drink so that you can sit there. If you’re in the area, save your wallet, taste buds, and patience… go to Dancing Goats instead! It rivals the best coffee spots in the NYC area, hands down. Dancing Goats has great coffee, friendly staff, fun vibe (seating area and overall atmosphere) and better prices!
I got the banana brown sugar iced latte which was a seasonal flavor and really enjoyed it. The flavor was prominent without being overpowering and it was unique. The shop’s seating runs into the lobby of an apartment building so it can be a little unclear where to sit, but there should be space. I look forward to seeing what other seasonal flavors they have!
Finca is so cute! Love the aesthetic they have going, it’s very clean but colorful giving it a most welcoming vibe. The coffee is also great, though I got a basic iced vanilla latte :p the food is also amazing! It tastes well made. Oops not to mention the staff, they’re very helpful in answering questions and happy to welcome you in. That’s how I felt ☺️ would love to go back soon and try some new things
Hands-down, the best coffee and best biscuit I’ve had in Atlanta. And I’ve been to a lot of coffee shops and had a lot of biscuits. It was so good that we went twice in one week, after getting the rec from a friend. My boyfriend preferred the scone over the biscuit, but the biscuit was definitely my favorite! The egg was super soft and it was perfectly prepared. The icing on the cinnamon roll was delicious. The staff was extremely kind and helped us pick our baked goods, her recommendation was accurate! The quiche (potato and bacon) was yummy but I’ll always choose a biscuit over a quiche (my preference). There was a line but they were very quick to get our food and drinks out. Even with so many people coming in and out it was still a relaxing environment!
