I had been wanting to come here since I heard it had opened and I started following it on insta. I didn't try the miso butterscotch latte like I had intended- That will need to keep until another day. The galette I ordered was delicious and everyone else at my table's food looked fantastic. Service was friendly and efficient. One of the wait staff kindly offered to pull out the awning to give us shade as we were seated outside in the full sun. Thanks again it was a refreshing experience.
