2025: Still doing great, sandwiches are yummy, teas and soups. Only a few times they forgot my bacon in my grilled cheese, I like how you can build your own! SO good. 2016: Yummy place. The coffee's are so good, I just wish you opened earlier. The sandwiches and the salads are good. The tortilla soup is amazing. Definitely try the Gobbler. I am not a fan of Dr.Who btw, I think that's what this is based off? I just love the place, very hip and cool. Good food and nice staff. The blue door is super cool. I know it's something with the Dr.Who theme, but I like it.

Sweet little Cafe with delicious fresh sandwiches and delightful beverages. I was introduced to the London Fog and fell in love. Service excellent!

The Wife and I have eaten here occasionally since it first opened. Elgin Club is awesome, so is their BLT. Soups are always good as well, and they have excellent coffee's and teas. They remodeled since we were last here, and it is a wonderful improvement. We'll keep coming back.

The Dr Who theme gets the lions share of attention, but past the theme you find really delightful deli counter style cuisine. The coffee drinks are also mixed, brewed and made to high quality and are very tasty. Would recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable cafe to grab a bite and drink.

One of the best first-time coffee shop experiences I have had in quite a while! Service was so friendly and so quick; my friend and I had the seasonal drinks (Lucky Charms Latte and Lucky Charms Matcha) and the best tomato bisque I think I've ever had. 10/10, will definitely visit again.

Great place and they've done some remodeling lately which is nice. However they've pared down their menu a little and they only offer about half the specialty flavored coffees they used to. They've also done away with the fountain drinks and the free water. The Doctor Who videos to go along with the blue box theme are back which is cool. Still a great place to stop by for great breakfast, sandwiches, lunch or a coffee break.

Such a lovely local cafe. For doctor who fanatics and for those who have never seen the show. Tasty food and drinks, kind employees, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The caprese sandwich and honey matcha were yummy :)
