Description

This family-owned spot on Columbus Avenue offers a cozy space to settle in, making it a practical choice to work on weekdays using the Wi-Fi. The menu features chai and matcha lattes, cold brew, croissants, Balkan pastries, and gluten-free banana bread, which you can enjoy at the outdoor patio seating. The staff is frequently praised for their welcoming attitude, though you might encounter occasional lines at the counter, and one visitor noted their cappuccino beans tasted a bit bitter.
