It's a non-profit! All proceeds go to St. Luke's and their programs that support the community, elder citizens and support groups. So, you can feel good about spending your money here, people!
Beyond that -- it's a gorgeous space. Light filled, sun drenched, huge roof terrace that feels like a lovely little secret, and plenty of seating and tables. Free wifi, to boot! It gets pretty crowded weekday lunch given all the workers in the area, but the weekends are very chill.
The service is a bit like you might expect from a non-profit. Not entirely on point. A bit flustered usually. But overall totally fine, of course. The queuing system is bonkers and I always seem to get cut in line by about 12 people, but I try to remember that its for charity and that usually does the trick. If the Italian woman with glasses is working, it'll all be fine, she's amazing. Otherwise? Kind of a crapshoot.
The food options are good -- the salads are freshly made, soups are nice, and they often have quiches and other goodies made up and ready to go. The breakfast is pretty standard, but also filling and does the trick. Coffee bar is great, and they have a nice selection of baked goods, pastries and treats.
It's on the pricey side for the portions -- but again, it's for a non-profit so I think its justifiable. It's a lovely spot to work or chat, and besides the midday rush its generally very mellow.
Great addition to the area, for sure! read more
