This cafe boasts an exceptional espresso program and is run by truly talented artisans. Whenever I visit from New York City, I make it a point to stop by.

I especially love their avocado toast, which pairs perfectly with their spicy habanero jam!

The coffee and food service here is amazing! I've become a regular—it's a wonderful casual atmosphere for working, and the food and espresso are top-notch. The iced vanilla Tahitian latte with oat milk is exceptional, and the avocado toast breakfast sandwich is delicious. I highly recommend this place!
