The cafe sits on Charles St. in a beautiful part of the city. It’s very busy and super small inside. If there’s no available table (you seat yourself), they put your meal in a box… no matter what you order. I ordered a dish that had scrambled eggs, goat cheese, tomatoes, toast. It was absolutely delicious but wasn’t really a to-go type meal. Luckily I found a table on the patio to enjoy my meal. It was right next to a ton of trash cans and the birds were everywhere. It didn’t smell but it was unsightly. I would definitely eat here again, but I might try one of their other several locations to see if the atmosphere is different. It’s hectic and you kind of feel in the way with this one. The coffee is great and the staff was nice.

The tahini oat milk latte was good and the cookie was just ok. The cashier was extremely mean and the organization was confusing as it was very crowded.

We asked for 3 hot chocolates , requiring them “super hot” . We made sure to ask that at the register . We even asked the maker in the making process . They said “sure!”
We got barely warm chocolates . Money wasted . Not the place to get hot drinks in winter . Moreover they call hot chocolate some milk with unstirred cocoa powder on the bottom. Send your employee to be trained somewhere where real hot chocolate is served

I was not expecting this place to be as small as it is. If you are coming here to stay and eat just know you will need to come before rush because during rush times it is nearly impossible to find seating. I will say that was the biggest drawback. The bathroom is also not maintained well. Regular bathroom checks are needed. The person who took care of us Alex treated us very well and was very hospitable. We had the pistachio latte,
Breakfast bun, eggs with sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese as well as the lox and overall our meal was delicious. Our drinks that are meant to be served hot was not very warm at all. Overall I would come back and dine again .

The B.A.L.T and the chicken pita were incredible, one of the best BLTs I’ve had in the city. Drinks, both iced and hot, were also fantastic. Service was okay, it was very busy but one of the staff roller their eyes when we asked for the apple turnover to be warm. We got the apple turnover and it wasn’t warm after asking twice. Even with that the apple turnover was very yummy! Overall had a good time and would come back!

Gosh, I really really wanted to give them five stars. Instead, here is a very thorough review of why this is not so.
After three tries to produce a hot Cortado, they were all somehow a little bit colder than the first. The pastries are great though!

I came in here last year and really enjoyed the gorgeous pastry offerings. and whimsical holiday pastries and cookies. We lived in the neighborhood for many years, so each year we revisit.

Then I recently visited in October 2025. It was just a few blocks from our house (we were on a home swap, so we had an extended stay, and I was here quite a bit). Each day I would walk down the hill for my morning coffee and pastry here.
Each time I would order a cortado. The first time it was Lukewarm, but by no means warm. So the second time I asked for a “extra hot” and it was even less hot than the first time. And this continued to the point where it was so lukewarm at some point that if it was bathwater I would say it was a little bit chilly. I’m not exaggerating. And every time I said ‘extra hot’ they seem to compensate by not actually producing an extra hot drink, but instead putting in less cream/milk. So at some point, I was just looking at a macchiato. It was lukewarm espresso with just a bit of foam on top. No longer even a Cortado. And still, lukewarm. Why did I keep coming back? Part of me was hopeful that one day they would fix it, and also, the pastries are exquisite! The croissants are some of the best in town. And one day I had a croissant with some cheese and some meat in it and it was sublime! So I love the pastries, and I really want this to be my café when I am in town. But I just need my coffee to be warm. Not scalding, not hot. But at least warm.

latte is good, but they don’t specify that it is in fact not a latte, but a steamer, and to actually get coffee you have to add espresso for $2. kinda a ripoff imo.

I didn’t see too many vegan options but they had what I wanted - a huge slice of sourdough bread, toasted and piled high with fresh avocado tartine and lime juice,and a heap of fresh rocket/arugula leaves. It was delicious and filling! The rest of the family ordered vegetarian items for breakfast and it was all so good, we came back again the following day ! I also got a cup of fresh berries and grapes and we had their special tahini, oat milk pumpkin spice latte which was A M A Z I N G !!
