They roast their own beans, serve chef-made (Michelin-type) bagels with herb mascarpone (cream cheese) or honey-butter, home-made seasonal scones and more. Added bonus they play great music, serve a ton of neighborhood regulars including the owner's dad and a dog who loves his whipped cream. The quality of a Michelin Star restaurant with the vibe of your friend's living room.

I love my matcha unsweetened and this one was CHUNKY and grassy, with none of that umami goodness... but man the color was niceee.

BLUF: Great place to get work done and sip on coffee…read more Ambiance (5/5): This place gave off the vibes of "working your corporate job outside to get SOME semblance of control." It was packed with people and had plenty of outdoor seating. It's right by tons of stuff to do, eat, and see. I'd recommend this place for a morning coffee or to get work done. Service (5/5): Fast and nice. Interaction was very little. Drinks (5/5): Great flavorful drinks. The elderflower was actually noticeable and the honey they used was good. The salted caramel cream cold brew was sweet and delicious. Perfect for a hot morning.

The egg and cheese croissant had egg, goat cheese (weird), and some chalky dry pesto spread that no one explained would come on a simple egg and cheese croissant.

The patio is a nice place to sit and chat, but overall I would not recommend this place for its coffee or food.
