Really good coffee! I got a latte with one of their house-made syrups. They patiently explained each syrup to me, and I chose the Papplin, which has a Japanese nut flavor. It was delicious. There was an unhoused person behind me in line, and the staff treated them with so much kindness and respect. I really appreciated seeing that interaction. Kudos to the them for creating such a welcoming environment!

The staff is knowledgeable and the food is amazing. A bit pricey, but I promise you won't be disappointed. I've had the trout toast and the grits with Chorizo πŸ˜‹πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘ŒπŸ½

Cute cafe shop that's always busy, seem to be a local favorite. They always have interesting rotating sweet and savory pastries, toasts, salads and yogurt bowl. No charge for alternative milk, and I enjoyed the cortado

Such a disappointment. Paid $30 for 2 pour overs and they were so so underwhelming and very poorly extracted. Barista knew nothing about the coffees they were serving, I asked multiple times. Told staff about the pour overs and they really didn’t offer any solutions. Very bummed because this place has so much hype and such an incredible bag selection of coffees from roasters all over the world. I’ll be back to buy a bag but such a sad cafe experience. Staff was so unpleasant, we need to be done with this pretentious and rude BS in the coffee industry please.

Instead, I was served with attitude, with no room to heat up a frittata, and all the workers seemed upset to have customers, despite a line out the door. You could feel the opposite of hospitality.
