MALI'S

Mali's is one of those places that feels just okay but might surprise you if you squint hard enough. It’s got potential, especially for a coffee and breakfast stop, but that can depend on when you visit. The food is solid, with a bacon quiche that has some people raving, but the service? Well, let’s just say it could use a bit more pep. You might find yourself waiting longer for your cappuccino than you’d like—at least the outdoor seating is lovely, right?

While the atmosphere is described as cozy and the food generally gets a nod for quality, it seems like the service might be the only thing holding this spot back from greatness. If you’re not in a rush and don't mind a slightly slower pace, you might just enjoy a chill morning here. Just keep those expectations realistic and maybe bring a good book to pass the time.
