Customers praise the burrata sandwich on focaccia, described as a "culinary success" with its creamy burrata, crispy prosciutto, and a zhoug sauce that takes it to the next level. The homemade oat milk is also a highlight, and the sandwiches and scones are fresh. The staff is generally quick and friendly, and the baked goods and coffee are excellent.
The cafe offers a lovely setting, with outdoor seating to enjoy the surroundings. Customers enjoy the cute, small atmosphere and the nice view. The coffee, including specialty lattes, is highly praised, and the bakery options, such as the raspberry rhubarb scone and the blackberry brie scone, are also well-received. The Smoked Black Cod sandwich and the chocolate chip banana bread are additional customer favorites.
