Iil’ve been going to this place for years and still love it. Their breakfast choices are unmatched in consistent quality and breadth of menu. I usually go for the delicious salmon bagel and a cortado.
September 2025
I love the coffee here and broadly it’s a solid café. That said, the food is really hit or miss. The berry waffles are awful: hard (like store-bought Trader Joe’s “waffles”), syrup-less, and somewhat without flavor. The bacon scramble is a touch overcooked with very rubbery, wet bacon pieces. I liked the salmon breakfast sandwich.
August 2025
Good food, frwsh and tasty. Nice and quick service.
Just too loud....the acoustics are bad and with so many people talking the music is too much on top of it.
Otherwise always a nice place to have a quick tasty bite to eat.
