Super cute spot with a great outdoor atmosphere and fair prices. The overall vibe is relaxed and inviting.

However, the barista experience was disappointing. One staff member couldn’t explain the difference between a cold brew and an Americano, which is basic knowledge for a coffee shop. More concerning, though, was her approach to food handling. I watched her prepare items like bacon, eggs, and bagels without washing her hands—even after touching multiple surfaces. At one point, she wiped her hands on what appeared to be a bleach rag, then continued handling food barehanded, even wiping her hands on her shirt while plating.

While I understand that working in a busy environment can be overwhelming, food safety should always be a top priority. I didn’t catch her name, but she had short brown hair.

This café has a lot of potential and I do plan to return, but I felt this needed to be brought to attention for the sake of hygiene and customer experience.

Great all around experience! Got stranded here for half a day waiting for an AirBnB to open up. Was a paradise of good sandwiches and better coffee. Real neighborhood vibes where the staff seemed to know every customer that came in by name.

This is such a cute place! We were lucky enough to be there in the sunshine one afternoon. The barista from SC was so kind and helpful. We loved our iced teas and the vibes. Would love to go back and hang out on the back patio some time.
