The hours here are way too inconsistent. Thursday they close at 5. Friday they close at 7, but they won’t serve anything at 6. I’m done with this place.

Loved this place. The food, the service, the atmosphere. Tried this cafe on Sunday morning so it was a bit busy but the staff was courteous and extremely pleasant.
Ordered chicken pesto wrap, Sunny avocado toast and croissants.

Staff was friendly. Food was ready when I arrived. 1 piece of bacon on a bacon egg and cheese is diabolical. I never write reviews but I was extremely disappointed with my breakfast sandwich, it literally had one piece of bacon. It didn't even taste like a bacon egg and cheese and they also buttered the roll which I did not ask them too. If your craving a bacon egg and cheese this is not the place

I used to frequent this shop decently a few years back. I came here to grab some coffee and a quick breakfast. I ordered a handful of muffins, a blueberry scone, a pistachio croissant, coffee and a quesadilla.

First off, making me wait almost 15 minutes to “heat up” my croissant seems excessive. I’ll let it slide. It was busy, the shop was packed and it was the Sunday morning following Ramadan.

Second, most of the food was dry. Scone, muffins and croissant were all dry. Horrendously dry at that. It was as if they had been sitting on the counter for days.

Third, my pistachio croissant that I paid almost $5 was not a pistachio croissant. It was an almond croissant. I know mistakes happen and people overlook things, but what if I had a food allergy?

This business has gone so far downhill in comparison to previous visits over the years. Is this place under new management? New ownership? It really shows with the low quality food and service. Incredibly disappointing. Low quality food, overpriced and not flavorful or life-changing.

Sad to say this place has declined. Is it under new management or ownership? We have been three times in the past few months and the food hasn't been as fresh, doesn't taste as flavorful. We had one dessert (labeled peach custard but it was something different, they clarified it was something with almond) but it was stale and had no flavor. And four of us tried it and came to the same consensus (it isn't just one humble opinion) and it's sad because the people are nice enough and it's a cute place. They just probably don't have a quick enough turn around to keep things as fresh as they used to be ??? I hope it can be rectified.

A very cute cafe with a number if different savory or sweet baked goods. Good americano, very friendly service. The cafe is small but has indoor and outdoor seating. There is a bookshop right next door.

My experience has always been pleasant and that’s worth taking a moment to acknowledge and appreciate. I enjoy their Amanda special smoothie, also the sunnyside avocado toast, and they have these Croissant muffins filled with a raspberry jam…. jeeez delicious. ?

I asked for 2 cream cheese bagels and he gave me buttered bagels. i asked nicely for them to put cream cheese on but he said no. I think this is unacceptable.

I recently dined here, and unfortunately, it was a thoroughly disappointing experience. The service was slow and inattentive, despite the restaurant not being particularly busy. The food was the biggest letdown. My dish arrived lukewarm, and the flavors were bland and unbalanced. The ingredients didn’t seem fresh, and the presentation was lackluster. The prices were also exorbitant for the quality provided. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant and won’t be returning.

Never going back again. The food was amazing but the coffee was so bad we couldn't even drink half of it. The chocolate mousse cake was so old, it was almost rotten. But since I had it to go, I couldn't go back to change it.

BEWARE OF FOOD POISONING & LYING STAFF.
I recently visited this DUMP for breakfast. I ordered the Chorizo N' Eggs Quesadilla. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The dish had an off taste that suggested it was not fresh; it was so pronounced that I could only take one bite before requesting it to be returned. Despite this, the restaurant refused a refund, offering instead a return visit on another day.

Most concerning, however, was my reaction to the food following the meal. Within hours, I developed muscle aches and a fever, symptoms consistent with food poisoning. I filed a report about the incident to the local health department for investigation, to prevent potential harm to other patrons.

When I attempted to address my concerns, both in-person and over the phone, I encountered significant communication barriers. The staff indicated they had limited English understanding; however, the same staff members were fluent the day of my initial visit.

What an absolute DUMP. I wouldn't recommend anyone to come back to this place. I hope that my prayers get answered and this place goes out of business.

I just want icing on my cruffin. no matter how many times i ask even if I ask for extra, they'll say okay and guarantee it but then won't even put it on the cruffin itself and I love this spot so I know they got the goods but it's aggravating to say the least.
