We had just arrived and hadn’t started our outside food, planning to order from the café. The owner came over before we were even settled and insisted we order first, speaking in an abrupt, rude tone. While the policy is understandable, the way it was enforced made the experience uncomfortable, especially since the café wasn’t busy.

Stopped by this café during an evening walk, and it was such a cozy little break. The seating was perfect for just sitting back and watching everything around me, really peaceful vibe. The staff were super friendly too, which made the stop even nicer.
Such a sweet spot to relax for a bit!

The owner or the gentleman at the café, Relly took care of us and made us feel welcome from the start. I also had my dog with me and he told me it was no problem to sit inside! Latte was amazing too!

The ambiance of this place is amazing. The food looked great, but the taste was sadly disappointing. Bought a few pastries...they were stale, and one was even undercooked. Tried a few sandwiches and even these semed sloppily made and were not worth finishing. Felt ill after eating.

Such lovely people! They were insanely busy on Saturday @11:30 but treated every single customer with kindness and made them feel like a valued customer. Adorable space and just good vibes all around!

Went there in the morning before work, and one of the worst cafe experiences ever! The owner ignored me despite the fact that I called for multiple times. After 15 minutes I was there, the owner came and asked me not to stay for long or use a laptop there. It was about 7:30M and the cafe was not busy at all. Also I wasn’t using a laptop or working on anything. Her remarks made me feel not welcomed and uncomfortable. I would recommend you avoid this place as cafes should be a welcoming space for everyone.
