If you go here for the coffee, you'll be delighted. The latte and Mocha that I received were just as good as I had heard. However, the Avocado Toast that I ordered $11) was good except for the mountain of arugula added to the top. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate arugula, but this place added so much to the toast, I couldn't really taste anything else.

I wish it was more but it was good coffee. Plates had a chip, and were damaged. They may want to replace but no issue. Service was on good, the cashier was helpful in recommendations and there was a water station with a small area with condiments, sugar, napkins, etc. There was someone delivering food to you with the number given (when you pay). Ambiance was nice, there were a lot of tables and it was busy but not too loud. I would recommend.

Steller chefs and quality baristas. Menu changes seasonally. So be prepared to cry when your new favorite menu item disappears but it's okay because the new new menu items are going to smack. Parking sucks so be prepared to walk. Also go on a week day if possible, it gets slammed on weekends.Vegetarian options: Small selection but fabulous executionWheelchair accessibility: Ada seating, front entrance is awkward but accessible
