I went to Cafe Rhema for the first time today. The inside of the establishment was aesthetically pleasing to say the least. I found the Prohibition era jazz playing overhead to be especially pleasant as I looked for a seat. I ordered an egg sandwich with ham and cheddar on a plain bagel and a small hot chocolate to drink. The wait was not long. The prices were a bit lofty, but that is to be expected. I found the hot chocolate to be bland at first so I asked for a correction or refund. The barista happily stirred in more chocolate which was satisfactory to me. The sandwich, however was not that great. I liked the ham but the cheese was rigid in both taste and texture. The egg was oddly cooked. The bagel was so dry that it dominated the taste with its grainy presence. I give the sandwich 1 star. I lowkey want my $5 back. I give the overall experience 3.5 stars. I may go back to sit and study but I probably won't order anything.
