The service was very friendly throughout my visit and really appreciated the attentiveness from the sever. I ended up getting a hot Charcoal Mocha because it seemed like something you can't get anywhere else, it has activated charcoal, espresso, cocoa powder & a touch of coconut oil. I love that they serve their drinks out of fun mugs, it feels homey. To eat, I got the Charter Colony sandwich once I noticed they offered gluten free bread. They have a great game selection and play area for kids and I think this would be a great place to catch up with a friend. Will be back!

It is a hidden gem. It appeared that they had more than a cafe, but an actual sit in restaurant. I solely went here for the dubai chocolate covered Strawberries and ordered this at the walk up window. The serving was huge and I could have easily shared this with 6 people and I felt this justified the price. I could not finish it all so I asked my child to put it in the fride. The next day, I removed all of the strawberries and reheated the chocolate. With whatever chocolate was left over, I put over some grapes. It was delicious also. I'd like to go back and try the restaurant which served halal options and some of the waffle options.

But I was greeted with a colorful large space instead. This place has everything creative from a gift shop with so many unique items, to a large open studio space in the back and a cafe area with drinks/food items. The food items offered are a little limited to mainly breakfast items and sandwiches but the grilled cheese I ordered was the best piece of nostalgia I could have. It was buttery and toasted to perfection. The drink menu is extensive with something for everyone, they also have a variety of locally baked pastries/goods for sale. In addition to my sandwich I got the lavender lemonade lotus drink and a red velvet cake pop. All delicious! The staff was very friendly and even answered my questions about how the open studio worked as I ordered. I will definitely be back to paint something fun and maybe indulge my inner child with another grilled cheese!

Calming spot to grab a treat, get some work done/journal, or catch up with friends in an aesthetic and modern cafe. Ordered the paradise tea with mango and avocado.

I haven't tried the pastries at this location, but have at their other Richmond cafe. Great cakes and buns made fresh in-house. Easy to find parking at the lot outside. Service is pretty quick.

The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs.

I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,

I had B6 - Bún bò Huế: Rice vermicelli in spicy beef noodle soup and pork shank. Lots of flavor and LARGE quantity - bring your appetite! Drawbacks: shank was very fatty, but ate around that. Also broth had a fishy note to it - as if too heavy on the Nước chấm. Wife had P10 - Phở Bò Chín: well-done brisket, served with tender rice noodles in a rich, spiced broth. Both dishes were accompanied by fresh garnishes including cilantro, onions, basil, bean sprouts, shredded cabbage and lime. All the tables presented Sriracha, hot chili oil and hoisin sauce.

I also noticed that we didn't receive any sauces (ie, chimichurri) for the empanadas. Not sure if I caught them off-guard or something! The pastries themselves tasted fresh and not too sweet, and I feel like the best time to go is when they're open first thing in the morning; I also feel that their items do sell out quickly. Staff were super friendly, welcoming, and kind. There were plenty of seating inside, and ample parking in this strip plaza lot. +missing items T___T +friendly service! +plenty of parking
