Great scones, decent coffee, and good atmosphere. Coffee was on point but I was expecting a bit of a unique bean. Just me being picky. There are many seats available, outlets are on the bar tops. Great place for studying or working with free 1 hour wifi.
Since today is the last day of my trip, I bought four cups at once. The taste was absolutely amazing. The service was just average, but it doesn’t really matter—after all, I came here for the coffee, not for the service…
Everything is fantastic about this shop. Lots of seating, nice music, great coffee and a broad selection of small bites. Folks that made my coffee and helped me were so lovely and kind. I will definitely be back!
