Description

Inside the clean interior, a sign reading “Talk to each other. Pretend it’s the 90s” sets a social, low-key tone. While visitor opinions on pastry consistency are mixed, the kitchen turns out well-regarded plates like smoked salmon toast and waffles with fresh berries. The welcoming staff keep things moving, whether you are grabbing a latte or sitting down with a matcha outside while birds chirp.
