Even while searching for it (without a map), I didn't think we were going to find it. The shop is great, they have a bunch of food goods including oils, salts, crackers, jams, chips, and more! They also had a selection of cute little trinkets and some cookbooks. They have a fridge full of beer, wine, and milk, and then of course the fridge of their own house-made cheese. We came in on a Sunday and they have cheese toast Sundays. I'm not sure what their food options look like other days of the week, but they had signs that said they had a sweet and savory option every Sunday! They also had baked goods and coffee. My mom got the sweet toast option, which was an incredible Strawberry cheese toast, and I got a Croque monsieur. We also got to taste a few of their cheeses that they were sampling. We sat outside at one of the picnic tables. Other seating options including two large fire pits and some smaller tables. Such a great spot, can't recommend it enough, and I look forward to coming back in the future!

I can definitely spend a lot of time here. A bunch of cool drinks to try veggie, strawberry/banana, and salmon crepe - all three was delicious. Our toddler loved her strawberry/banana/nutella. I liked my veggie. Definitely a big breakfast/bunch for us. You can ask for a box at the front. My Hong Kong milk tea tasted like a diluted version not the real thing. I didn't enjoy it. Two unisex restrooms and street parking.

You're hit with the smell of ramen the moment you walk in and it's a bit loud. I ordered to-go so I can't say much about the dine-in experience but it was nice that they had seating both inside and outside. I got the Mango Matcha Latte with soy milk which was great! The purée was sweet but not overly sweet and balanced out the matcha. I'm not a matcha snob so I can't tell you if it's high quality but I loved the color and it tasted rich. My only complaints are that the matcha was a bit bitter and this drink was $10. They charge $1 for soy or almond milk substitution so keep that in mind if you don't drink cow milk! Overall, I think it taste great but I feel like it should be around the $7-8 range instead of $10-11. This is definitely a touristy area so I was expecting higher prices.

The menu was super simple so I opted for a vanilla latte and a slice of the peanut butter cake. The lady taking my order was friendly. My order for both items came out fast. My coffee drink was delicious. It had a good toasty flavor of coffee. The coffee beans are different than any I have ever tasted in the past. I definitely would return to enjoy another. The peanut butter cake slice was moist and the frosting on the outside delicious. The inside was simple and beautiful. Small places to sit for a pair of people. Parking on the street or the tiny lot close by. The lady at the register was welcoming the barista not as much. All in all a nice coffee stop on the way back to the Bay.
