I don't think I've ever seen this many syrup flavors in one place. There's no seating inside since it's mainly a retail shop, but there's a bench outside. I also loved seeing how inclusive the space is with Pride flags throughout the shop. The Cross Cross Apple Sauce Latte (9/10) was nutty, not too bitter, and had the perfect amount of sweetness. I was expecting more apple, but it actually tasted more like vanilla with a subtle apple flavor. Still super good and honestly impressive for a latte this huge.

It was packed with people and had plenty of outdoor seating. It's right by tons of stuff to do, eat, and see. I'd recommend this place for a morning coffee or to get work done. Service (5/5): Fast and nice. Interaction was very little. Drinks (5/5): Great flavorful drinks. The elderflower was actually noticeable and the honey they used was good. The salted caramel cream cold brew was sweet and delicious. Perfect for a hot morning.

The bathroom cleanliness and toilet paper stock needs to be more closely monitored here. The counter service wad as bad as bathroom maintenance. The quality of single women on that patio is on par if not better than the actual coffee! This is the place to be a single dude! Wow! In general, the people on the patio were so very diverse from early 20s to 70s, all flavors, as many laptops as people, everyone seemed friendly and nice, not snobby. The fancy Pop-Tart was good but definitely not worth $5. The lox and bagel sandwich , unfortunately, was the exact opposite of the singles scene and coffee. The bagel was like a generic Lender's bagel with zero flavor. There was more awful red onion than there was lox (at best 2 ounces, and low quality), the Tomatoes were the wrong breed of tomato and feebly thin and flavorless. I think there were a total of three capers mushed inside a massive amount of cream cheese. What an awful sandwich.

The interior alone is worth a peek -- dark, moody, art deco vibes that make it feel like more of an experience than your average coffee stop. The breakfast sandwich was genuinely good.

There are a couple other spots within a block or two that I'd probably try first on a return visit.

The lavender and rose elements were more subtle than I would prefer, but I did like that they weren't too sweet which let the espresso stand out PSA they also offers pup cups so overall pretty happy with my visit.
