Intrinsic Café

Get all the cake!! All. The. Cake.. I'm from Seattle. Finding coffee that meets Seattle standards on the east coast had been an impossible task...until I finished that first sip of strong, vibrant latte. Best espresso I found in that area and it isn't close. But....the star...was the cake. They had a sample of a pineapple upside down cake. So I are this little bite. Wowwwww flavorrrrrr. So I bought a slice. And the strawberry. And the chocolate. And the GF chocolate. All were absolutely insane. I can't believe they got that flavor infused like that. Especially the strawberry. Like even the gluten free chocolate was like the best chocolate cake they've had in ages. Place was really hard to find and identify. But once you find it......

This place is amazing. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting. I come here often with my children. They all enjoy the board games while sipping on their drinks. It's a great spot for networking and connecting with other individuals in the area. A great amount of college kids come here and enjoy the outdoor seating. It's like home away from home. Also the owner is very nice and will go through amazing lengths to accommodate there guests. They have a very detailed Instagram that shows you the quirky and cute ideas they have to add to the dining experience. They are very talented. They also have another restaurant in Kearny called Curiosity by Intrinsic. I can't wait to dine here with my family who are very young and are very picky eaters. The menu is geared towards picky eaters who just need to eat better. Sounds great right?! In terms of accommodations, my son cannot eat gluten, tomatoes, or dairy. Can you believe the owner let me place an order for cake pops to accomodate my son?! I don't know about you but I couldn't ask for more. The level of detail, plus the level the eagerness to serve and accommodate every individual that comes in is amazing. They even do catering and host events like babyshowers, gender reveals...you name it! I'm just saying give this place a shot and prepare to experience a very welcoming experience. You won't regret it! My new favorite concoction: Coconut tea Coffee jelly Shot of espresso *W. Or w.o. Cinnamon *
