Customer Reviews
I was here on the soft opening day, and boy, was this place a treat. They had a live band playing music outside. They served freshly made delicious appetizers (chicken wraps, turkey sandwiches, honey walnut shrimp bites <3, brownies, and many more), along with beverages. Counter Point's menu may be different from what was served on the soft opening day, but overall, their food quality is fresh, the place is clean and well-lit, and the service is friendly and fast. Before Counter Point, this place used to be a run-down sandwich shop, and now it is a neat little spot for folks in the area to stop by, hang out, grab a quick bite, or enjoy a drink. For coffee lovers, they also have draft coffee equipment installed!
Great local breakfast/brunch place. Very welcoming atmosphere. Generous portions at reasonable price.
Their fries are delicious! They have a guy that works there that doesn't read the notes. Twice the cashier had to catch the mistakes. One was a salad with no onions- he added onions. For me, I said no mayo/mustard- it had it. While I waited for my sandwich, I did get to try a cup of their soup-and it was delicious! Chef Travis (?) is a great addition. Their salads are amazing, the portions are generous, and the people who work there are very nice- they do try to make customers happy. Be patient. They're still working out some kinks. I do look forward to returning.
Texture: Upon the first bite, I was greeted by a soft, pillowy texture that melted in my mouth. The dough was expertly crafted—light and airy, yet with just the right amount of density. It had a slight chewiness that added a delightful contrast to the delicate layers. The cinnamon filling was beautifully distributed throughout, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. Flavor: The flavor profile of this cinnamon roll was nothing short of exceptional. Each bite was a symphony of sweet and spicy notes, with the cinnamon taking center stage. The balance between the sweetness of the dough and the fragrant spiciness of the cinnamon was truly impeccable. The sugar glaze on top added a subtle sweetness that complemented the roll perfectly, without overpowering the cinnamon's warmth.
I worked in the area and was able to walk to Counter Point. It was a welcome and refreshing mixup to the other places we’ve been visiting in the area for years (Freewheel, Delucchis, Los Gallos, etc). We mainly came for lunches during the weekdays. Food is solid and changes regularly. The outdoor seating area is really nice on most sunny California days. We’ve been coming here for months now and would continue if not for the change in our office’s location.
