Sabrina Cafe serves its Dulce de Leche. (Melanie Pedersen)

Dulce de Leche Hot Latte ($5.79)

The drink was a light brown color with cold foam on top. It tasted like an average coffee with a bit more sweetness, and reminded us of the Werthers Carmels in latte form.
Sabrina Cafe’s Teriyaki Salmon bowl presents a delightful balance of textures. (Melanie Pedersen)

Teriyaki Salmon Bowl ($17.89)

The bowl came in a large portion with kale, soba noodles, topped with an assortment of vegetables, cooked salmon and a teriyaki dressing. The salmon was soft and well-cooked, but the sauce was a bit overwhelming. The vegetables were perfectly balanced with each other as they included avocado, carrots, scallions, and cabbage. We enjoyed the contrasting textures of the smooth avocado and crunchy puffed rice noodles. There were also bits of mango, which provided a better match of sweetness to the teriyaki sauce.
Sabrina’s Cafe serves their Garlic Parmesan fries with a side of aioli sauce. (Melanie Pedersen)

Garlic Parmesan Fries with Sriracha Aioli ($5.79)

The side came in its typical straight-cut form, topped with Parmesan cheese and bits of garlic. The sriracha aioli was a basic spicy mayo sauce. The fries were golden brown and very crispy, the garlic taste was not overpowering at all, and unexpectedly, a flavorful blend with parmesan. We think it matched perfectly with the sauce.
Sabrina’s Cafe’s blueberry lemonade refreshes customers. (Melanie Pedersen)

Blueberry Lavender Lemonade ($4.99)

For a lemonade, it was very sweet and tasted like an acai drink. We enjoyed the drink, but we wish it were a bit more tart. It was served with a slice of lemon and two blueberries on top.
Sabrina’s Cafe offers cannoli French toast to its customers. (Melanie Pedersen)

Cannoli French Toast ($16.69)

It consisted of three thick slices of toast and was topped with crumbled cannoli shells and cannoli filling with chocolate chips. The dish also featured a blueberry compote, dusted with powdered sugar and garnished with basil leaves. The portion was large for a single-person meal, so we had to bring leftovers home. Overall, the dish was very sweet, which is to be expected, and the blueberry compote’s tang complemented it well. For a brunch place, this French toast was very on par and met my expectations.
