I've come to this cafe three times to study and by far it is my favorite! They play really good music, like incredible, perfect vibes, straight out of my spotify favorites awesome music. Come if you want to listen to some bangers.

We enjoyed this casual cafe. They have good breakfast sandwiches, scones, hot cider, and soup. On a weekend it’s hard to find a seat. Seems like people linger after they’ve eaten. They have a few tables outside which is very nice.

I went here with some friends for brunch, and the food was pretty good! I got a Sweet Temptation (mascarpone and strawberry jam) and a plain bagel with cream cheese! I also got an iced chai latte, but I found it to be a little too bitter for my taste. Other than that, it's a good place to hang out with friends, do some work, etc.!
