delicious ,wonderful atmosphere the lady there Lisa , not sure who she is , She's so sweet!!
Iveta is small family-owned restaurant, bakery, and coffee shop. I've been several times with mostly positive experiences. Turkey & havarti: generous amount of turkey. Wish mustard was an option vs Mayo. I've got it on sourdough instead of the multigrain. Chicken pesto: the red pepper and pesto are a nice flavor. I'm mixed on the ciabatta bread. Roast beef: my fav sandwich here. Muffaletta: only saw this once as a special. Was delicious even if a bit rich. Would get it again - if I could. The coffee drinks are solid if not spectacular. The staff is mostly attentive but are occasionally more interested in chatting with each other. This is the place to stop after a long walk down the cliffs on the west side.
Had the bacon and egg breakfast sandwich and it was pretty solid. They go heavy on the cheese, which is a mix of havarti and provolone, but the combo works well and more-less makes the sandwich.
Enjoyed the coffee and breakfast burrito. Quality ingredients and friendly service. Nice patio as well.
WOW FACTOR? Yes. The caramel brownie was fabulous! HAVE AGAIN: The silken beet salad with berries was delicious but was somewhat overwhelmed by too much lettuce. The turkey and harvati cheese sandwich was also very good. 3 stars for the food but 4 stars for the service. NOT HAVE AGAIN: Didn't really care for the cowboy cookie or the oreo cookies.
Ivéta has the BEST scones. 5 star scones. So moist. Yet crumbly. How do they do it? Their other food is good too. Coffee is also good. Portions are small. This space is surprising because it's in a mostly industrial area, but they actually have a rather pleasant outdoor patio. (And indoor tables too). I think the lack of 5th star really is the price. It's spendy. And yes it is good, but still feels a bit much.
