Maple 🍁 latte ☕️
I really enjoyed the subtlety of the maple, not too sweet. There was a slight aftertaste I could not pinpoint, but overall very good.
Excellent staff, very friendly.
Atmosphere is nice, but a little more upscale for a cafe. I like it, but have to be in the mood for it, maybe a date. Again, I like it and will most likely return, but do prefer more laid back.

What a lovely place to get breakfast on a weekend morning! Service was nice and friendly! Around 10:30 am there was no line , so we ordered an omelette and a sandwich 🥪 with two lattes and a slice of a carrot cake 🍰. 15% tips are already included if you’re taking it “for here”. Food was brought quickly to the table and everything was delicious 😋 It got crowded quickly, so we were happy to get there early. Tends to be a bit louder on the inside, but outdoors was absolutely amazing. Will be coming back to try avocado toast and the breakfast bowl

First time visiting this restaurant with work colleagues. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the atmosphere. Great vibes, food and service what more could you ask for at a restaurant.

The only "real" vegan option is Nutella pancakes (cups of tomato soup or modified salads with no protein don't count). Occasionally there will be a vegan special, but that's not guaranteed, so it's not always a great option for a group if someone in your party is vegan.

That said, when there IS a vegan option, it's great. Just wish it were more predictable.

We ordered chia seed pudding bowl, vegan sourdough banana pancakes with house made Nutella, iced coffee and bean soup. The house Nutella was so delicious and is definitely worth having. I liked the soup and the bread. Want very happy with the pudding, could enjoy some granola in it but appreciate the coconut and mango combination. Liked the bread too. The coffee blend was really nice. In the iced coffee, I get that the ice had some distinct smell which made me conscious while having the coffee.

I visited this place with friends and then again with the family for Mothers Day because I loved the food.
The ambiance is great. You have to tand in line to order first and then get a table.
Both visits, it wasn't super hard to get a table for a party of 8. Great service!
We ordered Farro bowl (LOVEed) Enchilada bowl, Tinga chicken, pan cakes, grilled cheese t soup, Hot chocolates , coffee, etc... everything was delicious!!
The parking structure is very walkable and free on weekends.

This place is great and I highly recommend it. I like the format: you order at the counter and pay, wait for a table, and they bring your food to you.

The food is fantastic. They have some really unique choices. The Mediterranean quiche is absolutely incredible.

The staff is friendly and helpful, and the place is clean. The atmosphere is chill and fun; casual. They have rolling doors that open during the nicee weather and outdoor seating.

I stop by here around once a week, always helpful customer service. Delicious and beautifully designed lattes that never come without art. An extensive and very healthy menu, and great atmosphere. Also, really nice in the summertime when the windows are open! Pictures are from a few different visits, including yesterday!
