"The cha cha?s tea Lounge is my second time here, and I will be coming back! I have been looking for a healthy alternative to replace my coffee cravings, and the teas here are the ones. The range of teas and matcha drinks, hot or iced, is endless. The flavor combination is exquisite. You can create your own blend of tea with the available loose tea leaves they have in stock. They will blend your tea creation to make your drink. The first time I came here, I got the vanilla rose latte iced with oat milk and agave syrup, which was delicious! This time I got the sick puppy hot tea with natural honey because my throat felt a bit icky; the warmth of the tea helped smooth my throat, which made it feel better. The lounge area has a calmness to it with the natural plants surrounding the cafe, which is a great place to rest and relax and enjoy a great cup of tea."

"i’ve been coming to lacuna for over two years now and this little gem is definitely one of my favorite places to be. i’m not much of a review-writer, but when i feel passionately about places (good or bad , i get inspired.as someone who leads an alcohol-free lifestyle, it is SO nice having this option to unwind and create some art, relax, or hang out with friends. i’ve truly made so many wonderful connections through lacuna that i will cherish for a lifetime!it’s also a great place to get work done. i work remote, so i spend a good majority of my week here at my second office ; the BOGO happy hour deal comes in clutch.i think it’s really great that there is a mix of events now too, not just strictly DJ’s performing 6-7 nights a week. (although i do absolutely love the nights when there’s a DJ as well ! the variety of events is great; chess tournaments, community coloring, workshops, recovery groups, massages, yoga etc. there’s been a lot of engaging activities that i enjoy attending or participating in.i feel like lacuna has become a lot stronger in both the workspace and community-front in the last year or so too. the kavatenders all have such a warm and positive energy and always make me feel special when i come in. it’s nice seeing management interacting with customers and staff more too. it’s nice overhearing the positive feedback from management to staff (or staff to staff , and hearing the conversations that the staff members have with guests. there just seems to be a lot more connection overall. lacuna is growing and glowing for sure. <3the price increase is a bit of a bummer, but in a time with inflation… what can you really do? i personally TRUST lacuna with their product and that’s what keeps me coming back. i know they put both quality and care into their products and it really reflects. it can be a pretty penny if you’re getting multiple drinks, but fancy craft cocktails at a regular bar can be the same way. plus, my points add up so quickly i get pretty frequent discounts with their reward system. it’s not the end of the world!i appreciate the subtle changes in the bar layout and decor too. even the little things keep it feeling fresh and a little new each time you come in.the *only* “negative” thing i have to say about the space is that it can be difficult to order a drink or close out a tab sometimes. there’s rushes and it gets busy, but sometimes it feels as if one staff member just isn’t enough during these times. sometimes there’s not a lot of communication about this either between staff and people trying to close out, but i’ve been coming here for awhile now so i know what to expect. if you’re in a time crunch, just give yourself a little buffer or cushion of time to get closed out (or order to go right off the bat and close out immediately .all things considered, though, 5 stars all the way around! lacuna is an ever-evolving, ever-growing spot and i’m excited to see what the future looks like for you guys! : bulaaaa!!!!"

"I visited this five-year-old restaurant for lunch, being the first customer of the day. I ordered chips, salsa, guacamole, and chicken enchiladas. The chips are remarkably thin yet sturdy enough for dipping in the guacamole, which is incredibly fresh and contains large chunks of avocado. The salsa is also fresh—not too spicy or mild, just the right amount for my taste today. The chicken enchiladas were exceptional; the only tweak I would suggest is to add some of the fresh guacamole that came with my meal. While I was there, I overheard other customers mentioning that they had such a great dinner the night before that they returned for lunch today, and that they always make it a point to stop by whenever they’re in town. The service was attentive, with staff regularly checking in to see if I needed anything else. Overall, a delightful experience!"

"We stopped here for lunch. This restaurant is attached to a hotel and is on the 2nd level, accessible from the street via an elevator. The decor is sleek and modern with some interesting touches. The feeling is upscale. Our food and drinks were good and we had a nice view out the window of downtown. A good place if you’re looking for a nice place for lunch. This place was amazing. Colleen was an exceptional waitress. Our water cups were never empty, she was constantly checking in and the food...OMG...the food was SO SO good. No joke. Worth every second and penny!!!"
