Lovely music and atmosphere. Service was prompt and personable... The crawfish quiche had plenty of meat and flavor, and was heated to my liking! Reasonable pricing. Plenty of seating options. Pluses: ample natural lighting and cool artwork. Overall great experience and I HIGHLY recommend.

Bagels were dry and hard, coffee was ok. It seemed like they might have had more food options, but it was hard to tell from the menu and the display case wasn't very appetizing.

Underwhelming food with outrageous prices. The owner even charged us about 20% more than the menu prices listed, because reasons. Even charged us extra money for hot sauce. Definitely not coming back here!

Not as quick as we had expected for counter service. Food okay. Person behind the counter was not nice, in fact rude. Don’t recommend. Will not return.

Staff seemed so depressed and overwhelmed but we were the only ones in line. Cashier was also barista and was doing food prep as well. Espresso drinks we got were so truly terrible, they are pulling their shots wrong so they are all watery plus. I paid $12 for a drink that was terrible. Aloe plants on tables sad like the staff. Aloe is a full sun plant.

Awesome coffee!
• Finally went here for the first time. Great comfy vibe inside, I really like the atmosphere.
• Service was friendly but a tad slow, and they didn’t give me my small hot coffee at the register to drink while I was waiting for my bagel. That should be automatic, it takes 30 seconds and there was no line.
•Finally, unfortunately the coffee tastes kinda weak. The bagel is soft and bread-y, without that nice chew you get from a quality bagel, and they give you one small plastic container of cream cheese and a plastic fork (wrapped in plastic) to spread it with.
And kind of a peave of mine is coffee shops that give you those little plastic creamers, instead of just having a metal cream server. What’s with all the plastic??
Meh.
Looks good, feels ok, but at the core the quality just isn’t there.
