I don’t expect a grand performance when interacting with any business’s employees, but I do appreciate a bit of positivity. Unfortunately, the baristas seemed rather gloomy and unwelcoming during my visit, which was a bit off-putting. Perhaps they were having a rough day? Despite this, I would definitely return simply because the coffee is so delicious.

Lungo wasn?t on the menu either, but the managing barista asked us if we trusted him and made a delicious one. Also, we found a variety of Illy coffees that you cannot find in the store.

Although the prices were a bit on the higher side, I didn't mind at all—everything was definitely worth it. They have Wi-Fi, and the booth I sat in even had an outlet, so I could charge my phone!

So they turn out a bit soft and aren?t your real European crisp croissant etc. Also their ??Europeanvibes?? music is annoying. Edit: dude, the pastries were cold on the bottom and warm on the top, and clearly you?re heating upall of them in the oven before you serve them. Fresh pastries don?t need to be heated. These were about on par with what you canget at your average Dunkin Donuts or grocery store. If you?re really using a local supplier you should consider switchingbakers.

My partner and I each got a coconut foam cold brew and a sandwich- a caprese sandwich and a frittata with turkey sausage on a croissant. Everything exceeded my expectations.The coffee was a perfect strength for me and my caprese sandwich was the right combination of creamy mozzarella, fresh tomato,and perfectly salty pesto on a light, beautifully braided focaccia bread. My lunch partners frittata was light and fluffy withcheesy goodness and little pieces of sausage on a light crispy croissant that held the sandwich together nicely. Worth thevisit!
