I'm a regular customer one time every week I take a coffee & read & actually I like the terrace to do that plan, this week I asked for a burrito which was a greatest option for a good breakfast. Their americano is amazing & there's a raspberry & lemon muffin that is wonderful.
Reeeeeeally pricy for what they offer, at least it's good, but there's plenty of other brunch spots that offer the same price for more food//better quality😉
