It also stays open later than many other coffee shops in the neighborhood, which is a nice advantage. I initially ordered pecan tarts, but unfortunately, when they arrived, I discovered some mold on them. While the staff member was gracious enough to offer me a different item, I found the process of obtaining a refund or exchange to be quite frustrating.

However, I would appreciate a proper plate instead of a paper one, especially since a slice costs over $8. Overall, the atmosphere is lovely, the renovations are impressive, and the staff is outstanding!

Since the milk was already mixed in, she had to pick a different dessert after we had already paid. The owner/baker was extremely patient with her as she asked about the milk content in each cake and dessert. I truly appreciate their warm and kind demeanor. The atmosphere is lovely and comfortable too. I will definitely return to enjoy coffee and a treat with my friends.

I would rate the cakes a 4 out of 5. However, they served them on disposable plates with single-use plastic forks, which is not environmentally friendly and makes the cakes appear cheap and unattractive. I've been to much busier cafes that manage to serve cakes on proper plates, so I don't understand why they can't do the same.

The restaurant was clean and upscale, but unfortunately, only decaf drinks were available since they had run out of coffee beans during my first visit.

Overall, my experience was decent, and I would like to return.
