I like that you get assigned a table but that you order at the counter and then they bring you your food / clean up your table when you leave.

I would def recommend this place for brunch!

The staff was very kind and helpful as this was my first visit. You order at the bar and they bring the food right to your table. The waffles themselves were whole wheat and very filling. The cardamom latte was strong, I would opt for cardamom chai next time. It was fun to try something new. I wish I had bought a few pastries to take home, their display case is very tempting. Excellent for families/date night/solo time.

And now that I know, I can't wait to return. I met a friend for a morning meeting here on a rainy day and this was the perfect cozy atmosphere to enjoy espresso and friendship. We opted for a flat white and macchiato. The staff was extremely welcoming and made sure we understood that they make an authentic macchiato, not the commercialized version which gave us a chuckle! The macchiato was perfectly crafted as well. as the flat white, complete with gorgeous latte art on top. I was expecting great coffee, which they delivered. What surprised me was the spinach quiche. I wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary, but I've basically been dreaming about this quiche since I've had it. Light and fluffy, it more closely resembles an egg bite/sous vide egg bite since it does not have a traditional quiche crust. However, it was fantastic with great spinach flavor and a buttery and cheesy finish. DROOL. The space is so inviting, clean, cozy with plenty of different options for seating; from intimate nooks, to upholstered chairs and couches, to plain wooden chairs, there's something for every comfort level. I cannot wait to come back here with my laptop to get some work done, and will definitely have more coffee dates here!

I got a "spinach quiche" for five dollars, which was really a tiny crustless quiche in a muffin cup. But it was very tasty and ready quickly. And my latte was delicious.

This was a great choice for a quick light meal if you're staying in the hotel.

I had two impressions of this bakery…read more First, when I was finally seated with my food, I watched as an erratic man came in holding a bag of garbage and spoke loudly to the two workers and as soon as they turned their back he snatched a muffin/cupcake off the bakery case and stuffed it in his pocket. He went on telling the workers it was his birthday and I think was trying to get something else though I stopped paying attention. For a shop full of people, I don't think anyone else noticed. Second, the pistachio croissant I ordered was so beautifully layered! I was so glad this was in a case and not open to random passersby. There was a line Saturday morning right after opening and I wouldn't say it moved quickly. It's a pretty corner shop but the seating is disjointed. It's well it, but I didn't care for the vibe, so we ate our treats and moved on for our drinks. Couldn't in good faith recommend any food that's out on a counter like the pie, mini pies and muffins because you never know who is touching them when others aren't looking!
