C'est super mignon! Malheureusement, le latte glacé avec le lait d'amande était mauvais. Je me suis forcé à le boire mais je l'ai jeté 5 minutes après :(

We were just there saturday morning the 11th of April & had a croissant & a beignet. We loved the service - it was this girl that was really nice & welcoming to us. Thank you!

I've been here many times & have always enjoyed the coffee, which is consistently great. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was very disappointing due to my interaction with the barista. This barista in particular is consistently rude.

I placed my order politely, but she repeatedly said'huh?' & asked me to repeat myself several times in a rude manner. It felt unnecessary, especially since my drink was already prepared by the time I finished ordering, which suggests they understood me from the start.

I'm not sure what caused this behavior, but the experience left a bad impression. Sadly, it's made me reconsider returning.

Good cafe, as someone who doesn't like coffee, i love that there are many different tea options. Difficult to find a spot to sit midday, as there are quite a lot of people, & not that many tables, but overall good stuff.
