I like the coffee here, but it's been terrible the last few weeks-the coffee isn't really coffee anymore; it's mostly milk, or it's cold. The pistachio croissant is my favorite, but every time I buy it, it's hard & stale! Same goes for the sandwiches… It's a shame-it used to be so much better. The place looks dark, lifeless, & unhygienic…

Un des meilleurs service à la clientèle de toute ma vie: équipe souriante, efficace, à l'écoute de leurs clients. Étant végétarien les options sont souvent limitées pour moi dans ce genre d'établissement, mais ce café là m'a proposé des sandwichs personnalisés pour me permettre plus de diversité dans mes déjeuners SANS QUE J'AI À LE DEMANDER. Le tout dans une ambiance de convivialité & de professionnalisme. Endroit exceptionnel 👌🏿
