      Not sure why I haven't been here but glad I stopped in today. I had been greeted with a friendly smile and great smell of breakfast food being made, but sadly I just needed a caffeine pick me up and also something to keep me warm on this windy day. I got the spiced chai latte with caramel syrup and oat milk and honestly Starbucks you can eat your heart out ! This place knows how to make a good cup of chai. Perfect temp without even having to tell them, fragrant, tasty and just wonderful with each sip I took. I love love love pastries and they had some good looking options. The menu has just the right amount for breakfast, lunch or a nice pick me up. Will probably come back everyday if my wallet permits definitely gotta check this place out!

      My visit to this cafe was a pretty disappointing experience. The service was mediocre, as the women taking my order were borderline rude. The food was not good and lacked flavor. A little salt & pepper goes a long way. I'm glad they gave me the salsa on the side because it wasn't an ounce of flavor. The matcha latte also lacked flavor. It's a cute little corner spot with potential, but I won't return--way too many other options in the area.

      I'm not a coffee fanatic but the regular small latte I ordered does not taste good. The coffee tastes almost watered down and has a plain flavor to it. I also ordered a bagel which the cashier didn't catch. To add, there was a soft drink fee included in the bill which I don't understand why? I ordered a coffee, not a soda? I know it's hard to find a latte that's under $5 these days which is why I'll consider it a Friday treat, but it's at least justifiable when it's enjoyable. The positive side was that the service was quick. Great location as well but that does not make up for a bad latte.

      Was looking for coffee and found this really nice place tucked away in a corner. Very reasonably priced and opens at 7am for weekdays!

      It's a '5' for what it is, a little, neighborhood shop for coffee and light breakfast/ lunch. Enough reviews here so won't bother you much more: great, helpful staff, good coffee ( and it's easy to get a plain, not fufu coffee...but they have that too. My Ham, Egg and Cheese on Croissant was incredible, appearing to have about three eggs. Sat outside at the counter and read a book thinking it's grand to be in a city where you can walk places.

      Photo of the exterior, much like many others, was added simply because I took it and because the GOOGLE MAPS cam van went by twice and I May be in the street level scan. That would be my third run on on ten years. Lucky me. International fame.

      Well, not a new view here but I took the picture and I'm gonna post it.

      Weird experience with pickup but the food was decent. I had paid for a cheese Danish but it wasn't included in my to go bag (good thing I checked) so I asked and they said said they were out. No worries... but there was no offer to replace or refund or anything. So I had to ask to take a different Danish vs them proactively offering. Also I paid extra for a large coffee but it was the same size as the small. Apparently they don't have large... then why allow people to pay extra for it online? It's a shame because the place looks cute and the food was pretty good.

      Was looking for a quick and close by breakfast. Everyone is super friendly here, and the food is fresh and comes out fast. I appreciate they have three options for coffee roasts as well! My breakfast sandwich was pretty tasty. I will remind myself to ask for some hot sauce next time.

      Great local breakfast spot. The quality of the food was top notch. It wasn't to busy when we went there on a Sunday morning, the service was quick and friendly
