There is a calming friendly atmosphere here.

The flavored coffee options are wonderful and full of flavor but not overpowering or overly sweet. You also get a wonderful finish to each cup with a rich espresso flavor that is almost chocolaty.

The breakfast sandwich options are all wonderful. Especially if you request the bacon to be softly cooked and a tomato. Very fresh and they have spongy wonderfully peppered egg.

The pastry fare varries’s from item to item but all of the croissants are fantastic coffee partners. The opera cakes and tiramisu are also wonderful if your looking for something with a rich creamy flavor.

Wonderful coffee shop.

The coffee is nice but way overpriced. The pastry is unique and delicious. My only problem is a fridge or something there that has continuous noise, the type that gets in your head.

I was really looking forward to finally checking out this coffee shop, especially since I’ve lived nearby for almost three years and had never been. Unfortunately, my first visit will also be my last.

I walked in and went up to the counter to look at the menu — clearly new to the place — and received no greeting whatsoever. The woman behind the counter was holding some bags, possibly for a to-go order, but a simple “hello” would have gone a long way.

When she finally acknowledged me, it was with a cold, “How can I help you?” I asked a very normal question: “How big is your large coffee?” As any coffee drinker knows, sizes vary from place to place. I wanted to know if their large was in line with what I normally order or if I should size down.

Instead of giving me a direct answer or showing me the cup, she used vague hand gestures. I politely asked again, “Can I see it?” and she snapped back with a snarky, “You want to see the cup?” — like I had just asked her to walk 10 miles. It was clear that retrieving the cup felt like an inconvenience to her, which made the interaction even more uncomfortable. She eventually showed me all three sizes, even though I only asked about the large.

At that point, I let the customer behind me go ahead because I’d already decided I wouldn’t be spending a cent here. I asked if she was the manager — she wasn’t — and she told me the manager’s name is Daniel and that he’d be in on the weekend.

So Daniel, if you’re reading this, please know that first impressions matter. A simple question was met with unnecessary attitude and poor communication. As someone who believes in supporting small businesses and spending money where I feel welcomed, this experience was disappointing and frustrating. I won’t be returning.

Tasty treat and good coffee, but would be more of an occasional thing for the amount of money and sweetness. One vegan treat option, toasts available

Super cute lil place. I didn't try any of the pastries, but they have lots of options, including many gluten-free ones that sound amazing (violet, yuzu matcha, mango passionfruit), so will update my review when I come back and try them. A few interesting drink options, like s'more latte and blueberry lavender iced matcha. I parked at the spot and walked over.

Absolutely beautiful, local neighborhood pastisserie and café with friendly service, great pastries, and ample seating to enjoy your food and coffee on a cold or warm morning.

We came in here because we were looking for a last-minute coffee on Thanksgiving morning. Thankfully, they were open and had an abundant amount of beautifully displayed pastries on the shelves. I ended up getting an almond flour, cream cheese, and blueberry compote treat, and I brought it home to the family. It was an instant hit. The pastries are just beautiful.

They also have great breakfast sandwich sandwiches, some of the best I’ve ever tried. I got an egg sandwich under brioche bread and I added some ham and it was just excellent. The breakfast here is excellent.

This is definitely worth a visit. I don’t think it’s been here more than a couple of months, but this place will definitely become very popular. It hits all the right marks, and everybody’s friendly. Definitely give us a place a visit if you’re in the area, and definitely if you’re hungry and want some good coffee.

Wowow I feel like the luckiest girl alive. This place serves delicious pastries that are so pretty and a good number are gluten free. Unheard of! Can't wait to come back. Had the Ruby ❤️❤️ and the Yuki 💚💚.

A perfect stop for a midday snack, sipping on tea and reading a book.

Best canele I could find around here! Crispy on the outside, sweet and soft on the inside. It was even better when I had it next morning after refrigerated. The service was really nice, too.
There is a free parking garage in the building behind for retail customers.
