Great little cafe on the corner! Had the Rojo sandwich, which was awesome! Had the perfect amount of spice to it

Neat place, but food prices are way too high for what you get. Breakfast sandwiches are mostly made with cold egg salad. I would come often if there were a simple, affordable egg and cheese sandwich on the menu, but I can't justify the price as-is.

I have been here a good handful of times and wondered why it's always so dead inside. The food is delicious but extremely expensive; I usually spend 25 dollars on a panini and a drink, so I can't be coming here regularly. The girl taking orders is not friendly at all, like I interrupted her standing in the back on her phone by coming into the cafe. There's also always an obscene amount of flies inside. While I study I'm constantly swatting them away from my table. The music is also pretty loud, so it can be a bit much if you're studying and don't like what they play. Overall a 3/5 experience. It's one of the only cafes open in the evening, so I take what I can get.

I’ve never been here until today, service very good, including the way they were able to accommodate me with a sandwich without pork and an iced coffee made from heaven. ✨

This is a neat little place! Cozy atmosphere to work on whatever needs to be worked on! Fills up fast, tho!
The coffee is great. Haven't tried the food yet, but i suspect it will be delicious!
Thus far the staff has been efficient and helpful. Not necessarily always the friendliest, though. But I tip them anyway.

Great little coffee shop.

This is such a gem in the area. The best hours - open early AND late. A welcoming spot to enjoy quality, fresh ingredients. Their salads are delicious and hearty. Highly recommend. If you're over at the hospital, it's worth a walk across the bridge!

I didn’t catch the cashier’s name this morning but she made my whole day. I appreciate her a ton. There was an issue with my order and instead of saying sorry, she made me something different without an issue. Worked fast too. Give her a raise.

The shop was very easy to find. As soon as you go in, the atmosphere and worker are very welcoming. Both drinks and food are great. Highly recommend bringing a laptop and staying awhile!
