Had eaten half before I remembered to take a picture. They do have online ordering (which I didn't use today but might speed up the line.) That said, I've been before with friends for lunch and was less impressed. Floors and tables were pretty dirty by midday, and my salad had some moldy leaves. I've heard similar commentary on lunch from others. Overall, highly recommend for pastries and coffee!!

I've come back to this place quite a few times now and the coffee is always delicious. They have so…read moremany different flavor combinations to try. My favorites so far have been the maple spice brown sugar and the cookie butter white mocha. The baristas are also very friendly and offered me a punch card for drinks! The bagels are super tasty and the garlic & herb cream cheese I ordered with it was so good. The only qualm I had was that I felt like there wasn't a lot of egg for the size of the breakfast sandwich so it felt like I just had more bread than anything. The price of the coffees can also get a little expensive but the taste is worth it. Cant wait for my next visit!

Matcha is still growing on me, and this was the perfect drink to make me appreciate it even more. I also tried the croissant, warmed up, and it was light, flaky, and absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be back! The café also had a steady crowd, which seemed to be mostly local, a great sign that this place is a neighborhood favorite. Overall, a wonderful experience with great drinks, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere.

The crème brûlée is smooth and rich, also leaning sweet rather than balanced. Drinks follow the same pattern: creamy, mild, and approachable, with the whipped cream version noticeably more dessert-like. Warm atmosphere, efficient service, and fair pricing. 5/5 within its category--predictable, satisfying, and well executed for what it is.

I'm glad I was with them, since the location is tucked away up the stairs and would be easy to miss if you are passing by. However, inside was very airy and spacious with many cozy options for seating. I ordered my chai with oat milk and a cinnamon roll from the friendly cashier. She asked if I wanted to warm my roll, and I agreed with the suggestion. Once we had our order, we headed to the couch to enjoy our brunch. The chai was delicious and had a nice peppery kick. It even came with a little cookie! I also really enjoyed the cinnamon roll, which was especially packed with spiced goodness at the warm center. I loved that everyone from studying students to large families could enjoy the indoor and outdoor space. Even with a fairly steady flow of customers, we were able to relax in the sunny couch area without feeling rushed. I would definitely return here for another chai and some breakfast in the future!

Nevertheless I never had an issue when I went. I thought the ambiance was very nice. The seating is cute and when you order "for here" they serve you in a very cute mug. I've had the red eye and the coconut chai. I didn't know this until after the fact: the coconut chai does not include coconut milk only coconut flakes. The baristas were nice about the misunderstanding. Bonus: The bakery offers physical loyalty punch cards. Ask for one if you are a fan of your drink!

The space is unique and cozy, filled with romantic decor that makes it feel like home. The food and pastries are just as amazing as the atmosphere. I tried their rose latte, topped with delicate rose petals. It was so pretty and uniquely flavorful. I've also tried their pesto poulet sandwich (baguette, pesto chicken, tomato, green pepper, and mozzarella cheese) and it was super yum! The chocolate hazelnut pastry is a perfect companion for the coffee, and you can ask for your pastry to be warmed up, which is even better. Bonus: they serve the coffee in a cute mug, which is such a nice touch. Love when I can have my coffee in a mug! Employees are nice, and the service is great! Plenty of seating and parking is easy. This café is perfect for a relaxed morning, brunch, or an afternoon treat. I am already planning my next visit!

As soon as I walked in, I received a generic greeting, but I was okay with it. Usually the baristas are way too busy to even greet customers as they walk in. I decided to place my order through the app to make it easier (for me) since I always have "complicated" orders to say out loud. They were really busy but as I was patiently standing there, waiting for my drink, the barista asked what drink I'm waiting for and started on it right away. There isn't any indoor seating available, but there is outdoor seating. There was once indoor seating available, so not sure if this was a temporary or permanent change. I was hoping to be able to charge my phone, but there weren't any outlets available indoors or outdoors. The bathrooms are only for customers, which makes sense, keeps random non-customers from using them...gives slight NY vibes. However, I believe they require a code from staff.
