We ordered a cinnamon dulce coffee - it was delicious and well balanced in flavors. We also ordered a few scones - they are the best scones we have ever had. The butterscotch flavor was our favorite. Also had a bacon egg cheese croissant and it was incredible. 10/10 and we will definitely be back when we’re in the area.“
