Cafes have a culture, and this one is not terribly inviting. You can see it immediately in the mostly miserable staff (of course, there's an exception or two), but then it all makes sense when you watch their senior management. They too just don't seem to like people. I get a couple of drinks each time I go there in an attempt to offset the contempt for laptops, I tip, and I keep my stay relatively short and confined to their laptop only areas. But this has not altered the apparent disdain for my existence. Then I noticed . . . it wasn't just me; they treated everyone this way. So, I don't come much. They don't need my $12. Aside from this, great space and in a location that can use this type of place. Often not full, at least during the week, because, well, read the above. Why do people open such a place to be so miserable about it?

I ordered the French toast and was disappointed ???? the presentation was excellent, but the French toast tasted like regular toast. The orange juice was fresh and delicious ???? my friend enjoyed his meal of eggs, bacon and biscuits as well as his iced coffee drink. The music was good and the atmosphere was friendly. The staff were friendly. I'd try this place again.

Prices are a little steep and coffee isn't very strong. A little hipster-y if that's your thing. They are strict about where you can use a laptop

The pastry’s are wonderfully fresh. I recommend the cinnamon roll or the Blueberry Morning Roll. Both were very moist. Coffee was good, I think most people wouldn’t have any issues with service or food here!
Parking is decent outside, around 8 spots on the road.
Seating is plentiful, but I imagine it gets packed. Outdoor seating available (4 tables in shade).

Lots of friends recommended this place. Each time I’ve gone, the staff has seemed pretty unhappy with their work environment (at least, that’s the way I interpret their un-friendliness) - and it’s not in that Brooklyn get in, get out kind of way. Coffee is good. I got breakfast here recently and was pretty shocked at how plain and unflavorful the plate was for about $16. The biscuits were off - like when you use baking soda instead of baking powder - and we kindly asked if we could swap the biscuit for another pastry item… they just sent us out another round of off biscuits, and with a lot of disdain. It’s such a cute spot and I understand having a bad day and not wanting to deal with customers, but I’ve gone in several times and always had the same experience. Go to Bloom, Power plant, or green table - friendliest environment ever and delicious açaà bowls.

Love this place! Great fresh food and good tea. Love all the outdoor seating. Staff is friendly. Only downside is there are *always* people smoking at the bench in the outside area which blows right over the whole patio. Nonetheless a local fave for sure.

Great food, fun vibe. I may give it five stars after I try a different coffee drink. The iced lattes had way too little espresso for their size.

Interesting décor rustique, but rude & uppity staff - in particular a heavy-set girl with glasses & long brown hair. Always forgets the rose petals in the rose petal latte, and several times has even forgotten the honey! The male staff member with the scruffy beard is nice, though. I used to come here a lot more often…

I had the French toast, my partner the shashouka. Both were tasty and the coffee was also tasty!

Cute coffee shop and cafe! Nice outdoor seating. You order at the front and they bring the food to you wherever you are sitting. Clean and good customer service. Will be back!
