Ok so. This location is outdoors only. Went here one day wanting to cozy up and get away from the rain with a cup of joe in my hand. Turns out, my first time here I had no idea this is the worst place to do that. On a nice day the outdoor seating is a VIBE, but unfortunately, if the weather is terrible, I don’t enjoy waiting outside for my coffee while the wind chills my bones. So I give the atmosphere a 3/5 because in the Bay Area the weather can be a bit chilly without notice....
Solid place for pastries and coffees! The staff is really friendly. Only downside is there is often a wait. Sometimes its only 5 mins and sometimes it’s 10+ minutes, but I rarely (if ever) have just walked up and ordered a drink and got it made right away. It clearly shows they make great coffee but I also wish they had a way to increase production. I never thought of 11:30 AM as peak hours but I guess it is here. I also wish they offered punch cards, I come A LOT!
Great spot. Great coffee. That lavender latte is quite delicious and they do serve the famous Boichik Bagels here which was a nice treat. Outdoor seating only and can be limited. Regardless, the coffee and the people who work there will brighten your day.
