Inside is nice and bright and airy. But it is packed. There seems to be a lot of tables and chairs and plants and furniture for the square footage. I don't know how it all fits. But it's still cute and definitely an aesthetic choice. There's also a kids nook, which is so, so nice for families with littles. Lots of things there for kids to occupy themselves with. Our kids had a blast. Food is so good! Loved everything we got. Well-balanced flavors. Crepes were light as air. Definitely pricier. But I think it's worth it for a special occasion. The coffee is good too, which makes everything even better. Because what good is a strong breakfast or brunch place if the coffee is weak?

They offer their standard line up of coffee and teas as well as monthly drink specials. They do not have their breakfast sandwiches but do have their pastry case. I ordered the Sweet Honey Bee latte which is one of my absolute favorite flavored lattes. My husband got the London Fog with he also thoroughly enjoyed. I got the vanilla syrup ($19) to enjoy at home. It's a bit thicker but you can see the fresh vanilla bean and has great taste.

Then--by pure luck--we stumbled into Hangout Cafe after dinner next door, and WOW... this place saved us. They have an amazing selection of drinks--coffee, tea, bubble tea, bubble milk tea, and bubble milkshakes--but let's be real, I was there for the bingsoo. Choosing was tough because everything sounded incredible, but I went with the strawberry bingsoo, and it was next-level delicious. Light, refreshing, perfectly sweet... 10/10. The service was fantastic, the cafe was clean and cozy, and there's even a parking lot (major win). We left already planning our next visit. Safe to say, we've officially found our new go-to dessert spot. Cannot wait to come back--HIGHLY recommend!

I'm impressed nobody has reviewed this place at all and it seems to have been open for well over 7 years according to Google. This place is a café with all vegan friendly food items.

Staff here was absolutely friendly and courteous with us especially with no other guests inside. Prices were a bit above average with moderate wait times but the food itself was absolutely filling making the wait time worth it.
