We loved the location, the ambience and the coziness in general. It was not packed, which helped a lot with service, and the food arrived quickly. Noise level was high even if the place was not crowded. The food was good. Not great but pretty good overall.

Great experience, we were a group of 4 and everything was great, except maybe the hash browns, too crispy. Best flat whites in America so far. Super relaxing ambiance, cozy by the windows. Loved the vibe of the guy who checked us in, he was inviting & naturally genuine. I’ll be back and back and back.
