There's plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating options, and bigger and smaller tables, which makes it work for parties of varied sizes. The pastries are INCREDIBLY good but do tend to sell fast - the last time I went was around noon and they had run out of almost everything, so if you want pastries plan to get there closer to opening time. I've had the cinnamon twist, guava cheese tart, and cardamom bun, and all were delicious - they'll even heat them up for you if you want! For drinks I've had both the strawberry match latte and the hot chocolate which were just as delicious and ample sizes. I highly recommend this cafe and will ABSOLUTELY be coming again many, many times into the future!"

The vegan egg and cheese croissant was amazingly flaky and creamy and with the vegan mont blanc latte, they were the perfect start to my morning. I picked up a few vegan croissants to go and all of the flavors were great. I chose the almond and chocolate almond croissant, which I have had before. The ham and cheese croissant and the guava cream cheese croissant were wonderfully flaky and super tasty as an evening snack. The service was greAt and the cafe was cozy and inviting and a perfect spot for a quick breakfast!"

Served hot, it wasn’t too sweet and had a nice flakiness to it. The middle of the pastry was hot and chewy; I feel like I could have a dozen of these. The apple crumble muffin was good, though I found myself wishing for more apple and crumble topping. Still, the bits it did have were delicious, and the muffin was moist and a decent size. Staff were friendly and it wasn’t too busy on a weekday morning. I’ll be back to try more for sure."
