The coffee and drinks are superior to Starbucks, and reasonably priced. A seasonal selection of fancy brunch items is available with good sharing options. Nice place for a relaxed chat, casual date, or project brainstorming session.

The avocado toast was ok, but the bread they use is wafer thin and seems right out of a bag, which really detracts from this item. Coffee was good but a bit too sweet for my liking (should've said something when ordering, so that's on me). Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, but the minimalist interior means it gets loud with only a few people. Also note that the parking lot is shared with other businesses, so finding a spot can be difficult depending on time of day.

The hash browns are perfectly crispy, which is a delightful rarity. I particularly enjoy the eggs Benedict, avocado toast with eggs, and the breakfast sandwich. My husband is a huge fan of the breakfast burrito, and our daughter is crazy about the baked oatmeal. While their pastries are enjoyable, they tend to be a bit too sweet for my taste (which costs them a quarter point), and they do offer gluten-free options. The lunch menu doesn’t quite match the quality of the breakfast offerings (resulting in another quarter point deduction), but it’s still quite good.
