I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Avocado Toast hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Mixed feelings. The Acai Bowl was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Breakfast Burrito stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Cold Brew was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
Great breakfast & brunch option for the area. The Breakfast Burrito was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
