With five stars out four reviews on Yelp, Besharam has been getting positive attention.

"Everything here is authentically spicy in a wonderful way,"Yelper Joann C. said. "The parathas are so delicious I'd buy a big stack of them to go if I could. My favorite dish was the fish moilee."

Yelper Tuan N. added, "Won't be surprised if this place blows up soon. The Dogpatch keeps getting more and more great stuff, and you know things will be popping once the new stadium is built. Better try it soon while there isn't a silly waiting list."

Noon All Day is a café where according to the establishments website, "everything is inspired by seasonal ingredients, and made by talented people. The pastries come from our Piccino bakery team, and Sightglass coffee is crafted with excellence."

The joint offers all-day breakfast items like coconut milk chia pudding with cardamom, cocoa nibs, berry compote, strawberries and toasted coconut; poached farm eggs with buttered toast; and Straus family greek yogurt with chai-spiced granola, almonds, berry compote, strawberries and honey.

Noon All Day's current rating of four stars out of 38 reviews on Yelp indicates the newcomer is finding its way, but it's still early days.

"Great coffee and food," Yelper David C. said. "Neat and modern interior. Very friendly staff. I am a black coffee drinker, so the coffee itself is very important to me. It was very rich tasting and flavorful, but not too strong or bitter. Well worth it."

Yelper Sheewon B. wrote, "Let's be clear. The reason why I come here is the experience. The interior is beautiful, the space is perfect for bringing your laptop and sitting yourself down for a mini oasis to get your work done."

Noon All Day is open from 7 a.m.–5 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m.–3 p.m. on weekends.
