Always a great experience at Vernick Coffee Bar. Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, outstanding service, and one of the very few restaurants in the city where you can actually hear the conversation at your table.

The dining area is open, airy and perfect location for a business lunch- my reason- but any reason is good! Soups were delish- butternut squash with rosemary and miso- salads divine- grilled romaine with figs and shaved fennel/apple. Menu nice size with good selection for all tastes. Service super friendly, attentive, and purposely staged soups then salads so we had adequate time for all. Highly recommend and they do reservations for lunch!

Always a wonderful place for a leisurely, special lunch. This time, however, service was poor. It was as if our wait person didn’t want to see us. Had to request dessert menu and then bill another wait person. Not your usual level of service.

We stayed nearby and this was a go-to coffee and lunch spot. It’s on the second floor of an office building, but they provided great service and the food was top notch.
