Tucked away in a little side alley, this place is almost easy to miss. They have their own parking…read morelot, which fills up pretty quickly, but luckily there was plenty of street parking nearby. First impressions? The interior is super cozy and nicely decorated. It almost feels like a little experience just walking in. I came here looking for a quiet spot to enjoy some coffee and catch up on homework, and the atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for.
They offer complimentary Wi-Fi, which I appreciated, although the connection was a little spotty. I kept getting kicked off the network in the middle of my assignments, which got a bit annoying. I ordered a large hot Cinnamon Bear, and WOW, they weren't kidding about the size. That thing was practically an extra large. The coffee itself was delicious, though. Not too sweet, not too bitter, just perfectly balanced. It had this smooth, rich cinnamon flavor that coated your tongue with every sip. Definitely the highlight of my visit.
The pastries were a little underwhelming. I wish they had more savory options, but if you've got a sweet tooth, they have your usual muffins and scones. Nothing too fancy. I ended up ordering a ham, cheese, and jalapeño croissant, which unfortunately got forgotten about, but it was the girl's first day, so no harm done! Service felt a little socially awkward, but nothing that would keep me from coming back.
Overall, I'd definitely give this place another visit, especially for studying. The atmosphere was comfortable, and that coffee genuinely felt like a warm hug in a cup.
