Finally tried this cafe! I walked past multiple times & thought it was like an older person cafe because that's all I daw through the window. When I went on, the vibe was top. Plants, cozy seating, & great service. I just ordered a chai which was actually spicy & delicious! The decaf was also delicious. They have events like karaoke & live DJ sets here as well. I'll have to come back & try the food some time!

Though I only had a coffee here I found the atmosphere to be quite pleasant & relaxing. The coffee was great as was the server. I hope to give it another go next time I'm in the area & try their food. 👍😎

J'y suis allé pour la toute première fois avec mes parents pour le brunch de la Fête des Mères. La bouffe était excellente. Toutefois, le service était lent & nonchalent. Ça a été très long avant qu'on vienne prendre notre commande & aussi très long avant de recevoir un simple café filtre, car fait à l'unité par le barista. Un busboy (ou busgirl) serait d'une aide formidable au service.
P.S. Les plantes de la vitrine en processus de fin de vie par déshydratation avaient tout aussi soif que nous, alors je leur ai donné un peu d'eau par pitié ;)
