Grabbed a special croissant without the bacon before an exam. I couldn’t even finish it all before because it was so big. The flavors, ingredients, and portions were fantastic. The croissant was flaky and soft. Everything inside it was delicious. I’m not a fan of arugula so I always love when I’m able to eat and enjoy it in ways I’ve never tried : Service: Takeaway Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian offerings: Clearly labelled vegetarian dishes
This café had the potential to be a great breakfast spot, but unfortunately, it missed the mark in several areas. First and foremost, the atmosphere is quite lacking—it feels more like a forgotten corner rather than a lively breakfast destination. The service was also disappointing, coming off as disinterested and impersonal. Now, let’s talk about the food. With high hopes, I ordered their bagel with eggs, but it turned out to be a significant letdown. The bagel was small and unimpressive, completely lacking the satisfying weight one expects from a good breakfast bagel. To make matters worse, it wasn’t even toasted properly, resulting in a mouthful of chewy disappointment. Considering the price for this underwhelming experience was surprisingly high, I feel I could have enjoyed a much better breakfast elsewhere. Unless you’re feeling desperate and have low expectations, I would recommend looking for better bagel and egg options. There are definitely superior choices out there that won’t leave you feeling cheated.
