Cozy and casual cafe with excellent coffees. Baked treats and ice cream also offered. Large seating area, no outside seating. Service can be slow as the staff often chit chats behind the counter.

Absolutely great spot for breakfast or snacks or bakery fare. Pricing matches quality and yes that’s going to affect things a bit, but you’re going to get a better experience here overall than most similar spots in the area. Staff are on the ball and attentive, but it’ll take a few mins to make fresh food for you.
The baked goods may even surpass the fresh food options. So come here for bread or pastries and you will find a 5/5 experience for sure. Can’t...
