Partner and I were looking for a cafe to have some unique coffee/matcha. We couldn't be more happy with Semicolon. The drinks tasted great and the blend of flavors were very interesting. I ordered the iced tiramisu latte while my parnter ordered the lady matcha. Each had distinct flavor profiles and for the price, I thought it was worth it. The sandos were also delicious with the bread being nice and fluffy. While the food's a bit pricey, I recommend trying it out at least once.

This is the first time Bojo has come to this place and it's definitely a place you'd want to stop by again. The drinks tasted amazing and the sandwiches were the star of the show. Everything about it was just wonderful the soft bread, the eggs, the sweet but also savory flavor was just unforgettable 👌👌💕

Great food! Dope vibe! Semicolon off of 3rd Ave is a great priced breakfast spot. The interior is so nice and a great spot to relax.
I ordered the Avocado sandwich and the mango banana smoothie. The smoothie was alright, nothing crazy, but safe. The Avocado was great! Every bite was fluffy, and the sauce was stellar. I would try this place again!

First time trying this place and food was good! Sandwiches are as good as they look and prices are reasonable. Love the modern aesthetic and how they display their menu. Creative food and drink options are definitely unique for this area of town! They also have lower and upper level seating so it’s spacious to hang out in.
Echoing other commenters, the service and staff were noticeably unpleasant. Two girls worked the front counter and looked like they really didn’t want to be there. Open front door and no greetings to anyone walking in nor any eye contact. They looked miserable. The girl who took my order asked for my name and could not get [the easy spelling] right after multiple attempts, even randomly adding more letters and of course not knowing how to pronounce it when the food was ready. Seemed oddly complicated and unnecessary. Friday 1pm and there weren’t even many people in the cafe to need to rush.
I would return for the sandwiches alone but customer service left something to be desired so I’d probably explore other options first unless I were really craving these sandwiches.

I was a little hesitant at first but this was one of the best coffees I’ve had in a while. I’ve been big into cold foam when treating myself but this drink did not need it. I got the tiramisu latte- chef’s kiss. Whatever cream they put inside? We go together real bad. I’m from out of town and the barista made the recommendation. I told her I’m a, “big coffee girl. I like to taste my espresso but also have fun with sweets.” This was right on the mark. Oh, almost forgot to add food. The bread was… unexplainably fresh and the mozzarella cheese was everything you could want and more. Love adding new spots to my destination library. Thanks again!
