The staff are not happy with their job. Down right scowl.

My dad ordered an espresso and it was incredibly bitter and burned. We asked the barista for a replacement and they were kind to do it, but the new one tasted the same. Not even 4 packs of sugar made it drinkable. Either the water is too hot or the machine is not cleaned properly. While service was nice, it was a shame to pay such a high price for that coffee.

Great healthy food + work/study spot. However a lot of people seem to be in the know about this so it can be crowded and hard to secure a table. I saw a review on here that the staff were rude but that was completely the opposite of my experience! I had a lot of questions when I went, all of which the staff answered graciously. They even allowed me to bring in a smoothie from another place to eat with my meal- super friendly and accommodating. I got the falafel bowl and it felt very clean and light when I was eating it but also perfectly filling- delicious & nutritious!

Great cafe - only gripe is no power outlets which I would definitely pay more for!

Nice cafe

Staff is amazing! They are patient with non locals and make accommodations to any dietary needs. Place is busy so can be a little bit of a wait but definitely worth it. Their breakfast burrito with the green sauce is delicious!

First time visiting the place and I won’t be back.
I ordered 2 matchas, oj and 2 croissants, no big deal. The cashier with white sweater and ponytails was super arrogant, there were people being ignored while she just chatted with one of the baristas, she didn't even say: I'll be with you in a moment or greet you, she just kept looking at you with a "hurry up" face, rolling her eyes and being rude.
The barista was nice and the drinks were good, but not worth the price or the poor service of the cashier rolling her eyes.
All the tables were dirty, they take the plates but did not wipe them down.

Food is tasty , but they have one of the worst coffee in the world , they are using a coffee that taste so sour and I mean really sour , I really think they should serve another kind of coffee beside their current lemonade coffee so customers can have another option because not every customer are into that sour coffee , the lady behind the counter was very rude person , she gave me a cold coffee and when I told her that coffee should be hot she looked at me very angry, they need to start hiring employees based on merits

Stopped by for a sandwich and was surprised to see that they have a good selection, including a smash burger, fried fish, and many more. Vegetarian choices are available, too.

I had the fried cod. Good but I'd prefer a different kind of bun (no options given) as the brioche is a bit soft for that sort of sandwich.

Seating indoors was full so I opted to sit outside as it was a warm enough day. One of the staff brought the food out.

Wait time wasn't too bad - just a few minutes in the line.

It's the sort of place one can go back to time & again and have something different each time.

Barista very busy with her cell phone, in a bad mood, spills the drinks when giving them in a bad way...

I used to come here often but likely won’t anymore. Brought an undercooked funny falafel and cold coffee. When I mentioned that, offered me to make a new coffee which I accepted only to find that my coffee was sitting at the counter without mentioning i need to go for it or calling me. Then i sip the new coffee which is again not my order. On the top of this everyone is giving you a face when you mention things where they made a mistake and are shy to take responsibility. It’s not hard to win someone when things go wrong, but the way they’re handling it was definitely a disappointment.

This Cafe has just been open for a couple of years,
It is popular for its open high- ceiling, cleanliness,
elegant atmosphere. It has a sense of elegant yet down-to-earth space that lures younger and middle-aged generations to gather for socializing or small business meetings.
this place is usually busy in the morning, they have sidewalk tables sitting.
Their food is focused on total health close to vegetarian food.
Although you can relax and have a cup of late and croissant.

I honestly really like this place. Food is good and versatile, nice coffee, matcha & smoothies. There’s wifi. Staff are nice and welcoming. Indoor & outdoor seating. My only issue is the type of indoor seating they have is too high, tables aren’t high enough so when sitting down (especially if working on a laptop) you’d always have to hunch your back, which after a while gets quite uncomfortable.
