Great coffee and the breakfast scramble was very tasty. A 20 min wait for the food but enjoyed the coffee on the patio while we waited. Great mission!

Cute little cafe. We enjoyed the books and card games while waiting for our food. Charming atmosphere. Staff was kind and gave us a time estimate for when our food would be ready. We got the chicken pesto sandwich, chips, iced chai latte, and scones. Delicious!

Wonderful spot to meet up with friends. Highly recommend the breakfast burrito, and blueberry scone. Indoor and outdoor seating with a large outdoor space, with small alcoves surrounded by greenery. It gets busy so might not be the best choice if you’re in a rush, but a great choice for an easy day.
