We stopped in here for a coffee & a snack. The drinks were good, the croissants were delicious & the person serving us was delightful. (I had an iced chai tea latte & the almond croissant)

I stayed at a hotel around the corner & came here for breakfast every morning during my stay. Great neighborhood spot with friendly baristas & sunny window seats, plus super vegan-friendly with a ton of different non-dairy milks & vegan pastry (cake & SCONE!!!) options. Loved it!

Service toujours vraiment super ! Belle complicité avec les clients du coin ou non. Les baristas aiment parler de café & sont très sympathiques. Juste dommage que les laits végétaux soient en extra $ maintenant... 😞 C'est plutôt le lait de vache qui devrait être payant considérant ses effets négatifs sur les animaux, la planète & la santé. Merci de revoir cette décision un jour, SVP! 🙏🏼 Merci beaucoup tout de même! 👌🏼💚

Merci beaucoup à Sol pour le service merveilleux! 💯
