Description

Between neighboring buildings lies a landscaped backyard garden set up with a variety of seating, making it a popular neighborhood nook to work, study, or linger. Inside, the space is run by a welcoming owner who keeps the atmosphere calm and inviting. The menu balances drinks like their dirty chai with pastries and sandwiches, including the freshly made ex-boyfriend toast, which is prepared to order and takes about ten minutes. While prices lean slightly high, the quiet environment and hospitable service offer a solid trade-off for a slow afternoon.
