Description

This neighborhood café blends a wide drink menu — from specialty coffees and boba to Asian-inspired Uji ice cream — with a clean, cozy, art-lined interior and friendly, fast service. Its numerous milk alternatives and take-home cartons make it convenient for students, remote workers, and travelers. However, breakfast food quality is inconsistent, with reports of microwaved or burnt items, so it’s better known for drinks and workspace than gourmet morning fare.

I really enjoy this clean and cozy spot. The coffee is excellent, and the staff is friendly. Plus, you can watch them prepare your breakfast sandwiches, which is a nice touch.

This is an excellent spot for a quick meal. The food is prepared swiftly, and their coffee, croissants, and bagels are delicious. The staff is friendly, too.

Wanted to eat pastries at bakery next door but they were closed and so I tried this place instead. Microwaved breakfast burritos that were still frozen in the middle and just ‘meh’ coffee. I see others have had the same experience. There’s really no excuse for such low standards. Change your name to “cafe whatever” or sell to someone who will make an effort. Parking: It was early morning so easy parking
