“Chill cafe—dim lighting, quiet space with not-too-loud music, some large tropical plants, and small-table seating and a couch—with fun espresso drinks, and tasty empanadas and bagel sandwiches. They also have donuts/muffins. What to get: Bee Sting latte (chile-infused honey), empanadas, Notorious Bagel (choice of an everything or sesame bagel toasted with provolone and topped with pesto), bagel breakfast sandwich. Was in the area and looking for a breakfast/coffee spot. The service was nice and friendly while we took some time to decide what we wanted. The coffee is solid; I got the Bee Sting latte which was sweeter than I prefer (I can't resist a sweet latte choice, yet at the same time I like them not so sweet 😂) and I don't think I could quite detect the chile infusion in the honey, but I enjoyed the latte; it was smooth and tasty. The empanada does take some time to prepare, so account for that. They had only the mac and cheese-chile crisp-bacon one when we were there. I'm a bit of a chile head so I'd like more chile crisp but it was tasty and great with the accompanying sauce. But the star was the Notorious Bagel: toasty, nutty, broiled-cheese goodness with savory pesto. The bagel breakfast sandwich was also good. Note the pesto runs a bit salty, but some days, that's what you want. Will be back again to try more lattes and maybe some sweets, and to have another Notorious Bagel.”
