food was ok but service wasn't great, some people were nice while others were downright rude. If it were busy I would get it but it was Wednesday morning around 10am. There are so many nice cafes downtown, probably not worth coming back. Train your staff better.

Such a great spot-this place has quickly become one of my go-to favorites. The coffee is consistently excellent, the salads are fresh & flavorful, & the sandwiches are so well made & satisfying.

I also love that you can grab a glass of rosé, which makes it perfect whether you're stopping by for a casual coffee or meeting friends for something a little more relaxed & social.

The atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the whole experience just feels effortless & enjoyable every time. Definitely a place you'll want to keep coming back to. Ask for Jorge if you're there, he s the best!
