I am happy that I can get fresh sourdough bread here. That is actually not that expensive. The sandwiches and apple pies which I have bought here are overpriced. The sourdough bread is absolutely delicious and the pie is probably good if you don't eat it with resentment like I did! To have spent $17 on this small pie which fits in the palm of my hand and it has just some apples' slices was disappointing.
I recommend get the sourdough bread though!

I’ve been to this local café a few times and really liked it. The prices are a bit high, but I visited because of its location. Recently, I saw mice in the café—not just one, but three. It felt like their playground. I couldn’t enjoy my coffee and felt very uncomfortable. Even in Boston, where mice are common, this was the worst I’ve seen. The staff knows about the problem but isn’t doing anything. I don’t think I’ll visit again for a while. I hope they fix this soon.

I regularly buy coffee and sometimes sandwiches at this establishment, but I’ve always felt that the service could be significantly improved. The staff often seem uninterested or unhappy to serve customers, which discourages me from going there for coffee. I usually only visit when I don't have any other nearby options. If I have the choice to go to another bakery (like the one on the corner, although it closes earlier), I would definitely prefer that. Unfortunately, this place is always my last option.
On one occasion, I placed an order for a hot latte online, with an estimated preparation time of 30 minutes. I ended up waiting for about 35 minutes before going to pick it up, only to find that the coffee was not ready. I then had to wait an additional 15 minutes for the staff to prepare my drink.
On Sunday, December 1st, I went in to order a coffee 10 minutes before closing. The attendant informed me that they would not be making any more coffee since they were already closed. While I understand they may be tired and eager to leave, I believe if the establishment's hours are listed as until 4 PM, they should be willing to serve until that time, or close earlier if they don't want to work until then.
I will likely return, as sometimes there are no other options, but each visit becomes more frustrating due to the poor service.

I just stopped for cupnoc black coffee. This will be my last time. Such a shame. The coffee resembled more of diesel sludge than a black coffee. It was the bottom of the pot. I went back and told the folks behind the counter. They dismiss my comment! Bad coffee, clearly everything is overpriced and service not where it needs to be.

Over priced and the food is mediocre at best. Customer service here is eye opening and their manager, you can tell he’s in over his head. Considering this is a “neighborhood staple” they sure aren’t considering their neighborhood

If I could give zero stars for the service, I would. The wait was ridiculous, and while the staff is friendly, they’re unbelievably slow. The food’s good, but the disorganization ruins the experience.

Service staff was extremely rude, and the food was not worth the high price tag!

Very good baked goods and large sandwiche menu. Pro tip - Order the “Allen likes it grilled”, not grilled.

The #23 was a delicious sandwich, one of the best I've had. Nice atmosphere, can't wait to try their sour dough bread loaf. The potato leek and carrot soup was also great!
