The barista who made my flat white steamed my milk close to a boiling temperature and poured it as if it was milk poured on a black coffee. The milk tasted burnt. I had to ask for another one and I got slightly better but still terrible drink that a capsule espresso machine would have beaten its taste. The espresso shot tasted earthy with a very undesirable bitterness and yet with a very diluted body I wouldn’t come again

Bad service by this girl, short, wearing glasses, who took the payment from me for a cup of brewed coffee, then walked away without returning with my coffee. I stood by the pick up counter right by the cashier for about 5 min, there were 6 female staff chatting away while I was waiting for my coffee. No customers were waiting by the pick up counter and no one in line. She just walked around behind the counter, making a drink for herself, and I waited and waited thinking perhaps they have to brew a new pot of coffee. Finally, I called another staff who was sitting behind the counter by the cashier to ask if coffee is ready because it didn't look like she was making a new pot of coffee at all. I explained to another staff that the person who took my money just walked away, and I've been waiting here for quite some time. She then asked what kind of coffee I want, turned around and poured coffee from the pump carafe right behind the cashier til. No apologies for the wait or mix up. I bought macarons yesterday evening and service was normal. Today it was a joke.

Very nice coffee in a cute spot. They have milk alternatives but don’t charge extra. They use high quality oat milk. Their dairy-free food selection is limited to an oat cookie, oat bar and vegan pizza

Nice and cozy place. The coffee is delicious! I ordered a flat white and a croissant that ended up being HUGE (and loved every part of it). There’s also a couple of tables outside if you’d like to enjoy your breakfast there as well. I liked this location very much and will probably be back

They serve an amazing roast beef sandwich which to me was one of the best Also they have pistachio latte that I enjoyed it Nice staff, charming, willing to explain items and anyway they can be helpful
