Came for my first visit after a hearty recommendation from my son. The savory scone was the best I've had anywhere. The pour over was expensive but very good. Nice seating outside.
Excellent selection of beans from around the world by various roasters. Some beans were older, so keep your eye on that roasted on date. Unfortunately some rosters don't label the roast level and that can make for an unpleasant surprise.
I got an espresso before perusing the selection. It was fantastic. Would certainly come back, just for that. Good balance of floral notes, sweetness and chocolate hints,
Staff was busy, so not helpful...

I came in well before closing time & ordered a cafe au lait, which is just plain drip coffee with steamed milk. I was told they could only make me a cafelatte, which is expresso & steamed milk, which I thought was odd as they advertise that they offer hand dripped coffee, along with espresso. I guess I was the only 1 in the cafe that wanted plain coffee & that it would take them too long to make just 1 cup? I settled for a caffelatte, but my tummy was not happy.
