Very cute little spot. I stopped here on a hot sunny day while on an epic walk around the city, needing something cold to drink as a refreshment. I ordered an absolutely delicious fizzy berry thing in a can, which the bar staff served to me on the rocks in a lovely little tumbler. Enjoyed the vibe, the music & the sunshine.

Minus one star only because the ceiling fans were going at full speed but there were no blinds or shades on any of the untinted windows, so basically everyone was melting in there & possibly getting sunburned like little ants under a magnifying glass… no idea if they have AC or not but highly recommend that the owners consider installing shades before summer really gets going.

Okay just mostly coming on here to warn my fellow non-coffee drinkers that they have a terrible chai latte. Looks super cute, but there was no actual tea in it. It was just steamed milk.

Very cute coffee shop with a good menu of drinks, food & treats. The service was fast & very friendly. They had a seasonal rhubarb lemonade that was very good!

Went in mid-afternoon for a drink, & got a surprising & refreshing Lime Latte. It was $6 plus taxes & tips. It was worth it for the novelty but that's a statement I feel applies for some of the experiences. Check it out once & it should be interesting. Notably, their sunny delight isn't worth the value. They run out of patisseries rather early but, predictably, their'rice crispies' last longer. Vibes are nice & staff is friendly. Fully bilingual Madonna fans :)

Wandering around on a chilly day, looking for a place to warm up & have lunch, we stumbled onto this absolute gem. The people were so welcoming & charming, the space is beautiful, & the food & drinks were delicious. If I didn't live on the other side of the country, I'd be going back regularly. We smiled the whole time we were there, definitely check them out!

Fun variety of drinks & sandwiches. A friendly staff & cozy interior.
The latté lime is worth the try
