If they are making pastries, you know that everything down to their buns are going to be mouthwatering... My mom devoured this pastry, but I'm still thinking about that sandwich. The warm pastrami with melted cheese, caramelized onions, and a horseradish aïoli... Lord have mercy. Please support these local bakeries because we need more of them. And by we I mean me. I loved all the natural light, the location is great, there is space that would accommodate a larger group, but also allows for intimate seating and studying if that's your vibe. Lastly, the staff is so lovely and helpful. Always such a great experience there.

My one complaint would be the limited breakfast items, but you have so many pastries to choose from so it's ok! They have lots of sandwich options, so I'll definitely be back to try those. I ordered a small hot latte and was pleasantly surprised.

He then tries to claim that a flat white is the same thing as a cappuccino whilst making an insulting comment towards Australians. I should have went to vibrant coffee around the corner. And to my guy here: when someone orders two different drinks, don't make the same drink and try to play it off like your some superior barista; your job is to serve coffee as it's ordered, that's it. All I wanted was to enjoy a morning coffee but instead had to deal with some asshole with a complex.

Was looking for a new spot to try out coffee and I went on here of course to see which place to…read morepick from. I saw great reviews about how amazing the coffee and honey is here. Needless to say this spot deserves all its flowers because the coffee is phenomenal. I was greeted instantly by the people behind the counter. They were friendly and it was full of people who were also super friendly. It is a small cozy space with tons of other drinks and cool products to pick from. I had a hot pistachio honey oat latte and I savored it for a few hours because it was really that good. The coffee had a fruity and nutty taste that made my taste buds so happy. The pistachio and honey mix was the perfect combination. Can't wait to go back to try more!

I ordered a sugar free vanilla latte. It was more milk than I'd prefer- I wish there was a stronger coffee taste and instead it was 3/4 full of milk with syrup. But the staff was friendly and it was quiet inside the shop. A lot of people hanging out and gathering the day I was there. Stars given solely on the taste/ value of the latte I ordered.

There's no WiFi, so it's not work/study friendly but if you want a nice warm breakfast I'd give it a try. We arrived right at opening, so there weren't a lot of people there yet and had the server come by once the whole time we were there. I give this a 3/5, not bad.

It was popping in there but we were still able to find a area to sit in the back. The matcha was great and my friend enjoyed her coffee. We enjoyed each other's company for a few hours and when we left we grabbed another drink to go. She grabbed a matcha and I grabbed a decaf tea made of cherries, apples and cinnamon. I forgot the name but it was really good. Reminded me of a traditional tea we have in México called ponche also made out of a bunch of fruits and cinnamon. Also the glass jars you get to go are so cute and I definitely will be reusing it for my drinks. Recommend for anyone to come here. I think it's one of my favorite coffee shops now!

I thought it was pretty good and was a different environment to grab a coffee. A friend and I went on a Sunday morning, so it was pretty busy and we had to wait a little bit to find a seat. We found street parking on Ingersoll and had a short walk over which didn't bother us, but I can understand how parking is an issue during busier times. My friend and I both enjoyed our drinks but weren't blown away. I also tried the breakfast burrito which was okay, but I probably wouldn't order again. I was hoping to try the breakfast sandwich but they were sold out. I liked this shop, but it is not a place I would go out of my way for.
