It's these little details that make the experience even better. Whether yo... View all feedback.

"A great spot for breakfast, both well made and fast! The mushroom and chili omelette was SO good. The sauces from the mushrooms and the ricotta (I believe) worked so well together with the pumpkin seeds to make a unique omelette that you 'll really enjoy. The Brioche with caramelized onion was a particular treat! So sweet and savory, the next time I go I 'll be picking one of these up for sure! My only hope would be for a more interesting brew for filter coffee. I was hoping for some info about what was being served and was only told it was 'strong '. I was hoping for more information about the roaster, process, or similar to get some more insight as well as something hopefully unique or particularly interesting to enjoy with my breakfast."
