Food was totally fine. Service sucked. Cold, impersonal, and glib. We were there just one hour. They clearly needed the table so they made no secret to push us out. We’ve been to restaurants where they tell you at the beginning we have 90 minutes. This place didn’t. Instead, they just clear our plates the moment the last bite went in. One of our party was still eating their fries and they removed it right from under him. Highly NOT recommended

The avo toast was tasty, but the bread is honestly ridiculously small, especially for the price. Most cafes will do large slices of sourdough,so this didn't compare. Very noisy indoors too.

The biggest issue was the noise level. There is no soundproofing so everyone is screaming over the music. Food was good, portions not large.

Food is great! It isn't an open bar so you have to choose the cocktails on the menu but other than that we had a great time! We also had an extra person join our large party and they were able to accommodate us with no issue.

Breakfast burrito was delicious. A bit on the small side but the combo of ingredients was well balanced and flavorful. The cappuccino was fantastic as well, really good espresso used. Honestly one of the best cappuccinos I’ve have in a while. Nice ambiance too, but a bit on the loud side with the music.

Thanks for the feedback, Yuliya! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your breakfast burrito. Its our newest menu item! We appreciate your feedback about the loudness and will look into it. We're glad you appreciated the ambiance and we hope to serve you again soon. Cheers!
