If I'm in line before the restaurant opens and it takes 40-75 minutes for my table to be ready, my standards rise to \"this better be the best meal ever in the history of mankind.\"  After waiting in said line a half dozen times, I'll given Coca Cafe a solid meh.  I don't get the hype.\n\n\nTHE WAIT:  Seriously, plan for a 40-75 minute wait even if you show up 15 minutes before it opens.  On the plus, they will text you when your table is ready so you don't have to wait outside the door.  This would be somewhat okay if it didn't take another 45-70 minutes to get food after being seated.  I'm all for ready-made food, but don't seat someone and then make them wait an hour for a mediocre omelet.  \n\n\nTHE DRINKS: Eh.  I was unimpressed by the chai latte--not spicy enough.  The raspberry soda was pretty good.  The cappuccino tasted burnt.  And, the kicker, the one time I just ordered hot tea, the water was lukewarm and I had to ask for hotter water--and I hate being that person who complains about water temperature.  I'd stick with the Italian sodas.\n\n\nTHE SERVICE: Pretty good, other than the insanely long wait.  Once, we came back after 90 minutes and were like, \"Seriously?!\"  And the girl at the door had lost our number and given up our spot 15 minutes before that.  We were seated next, but an apology would have been nice.  Otherwise, the servers were good.\n\n\nTHE FOOD:  Let's start with lunch, which is the meal on the shorter end of the wait.  The California Cobb salad was fine--it was everything you could hope for in a salad.  The spinach and artichoke tart needed something--spice, sour cream, I don't know...but it was pretty bland.\n\nOn to breakfast.  The omelets let me down.  Never before in my life had I said, \"I should add more salt to this.\"  Never.  When I'm baking, I usually put in much less salt than called for or none at all.  But, man, do their omelets need kick.  Both the avocado and the four cheese required salt and pepper.  Either would have also benefited from cilantro, but that's just my opinion.\n\nNow, the herbed goat cheese French toast is the only menu item I've ordered more than once.  It's excellent.  Is it worth $8 and having to wait a total of 2 hours and 25 minutes?  Nope.  Was the fruit fresh?  No, the blueberries were wrinkled.  I solved that by re-creating the recipe at home.  I do thank Coca for the inspiration, and that's why it was worth two stars.  I won't ever need to wait in line again.\n\n\nETC:  The restaurants seats around 40.  The one-stall bathroom is right in the middle of the front room.  This is weird for two reasons.  First, there's usually a short line of people pressed up against the table closest to it.  Do you like people doing standing over you doing the pee dance while you're eating?  Me neither.  Second, you can HEAR people peeing while you're eating at said table.  I actually have terrible hearing, so if I can hear it, others can too.  It's gross.\n\n\nOverall, I was pretty bummed that it wasn't better.  I kept hoping that at some point it would live up to my expectations, but it never came close.  So long, Coca.
