We both got flat whites (mine was oat milk and his was cow milk). Though the cow milk was (naturally) creamier, the oat milk latte was also super tasty. I really appreciate that they offer larger sizes! We also got a pizza scroll with cheese and jalapeño and an apple-cinnamon roll. I'd recommend asking for them to be heated up because ours were at room temperature. We got all of this for ~$26. The barista also gave us filter coffees on the house! It's a really cool space to hang out in for a few hours and I'll absolutely be back again!

While the inside is small and pretty busy with what appear to be older locals gathering for morning coffee, it is so cozy. I ordered an iced coffee, and my husband got an iced coffee with ice cream! YUM! Both were very delicious and we each had a muffin (savory & sweet), which were very flavorful and filling. Through the large windows next to where you enter, there is a small warehouse where you can see them processing their beans (so tempting to grab a gigantic sack to go haha). This place definitely does it well- don't miss out!

The service was very attentive, plates & cutlery were took down once I was done eating. Took away salt & pepper on the table once the main dishes are finished. Set up new napkin & cutlery for dessert. Food serves pretty fast ~10 minutes. Menu seemed very seasonal, the dinner menu on their website isn't up to date. Items on the menu all look quite tempting, most items seem to have lots of flavor profiles. Crispy chicken w salad: The presentation is rather earthy. Chicken bits are well fried - very crispy outside and juicy inside, the salad combination seems rather Japanese inspired. Coleslaws vege+ Japanese pickled ginger + green apple. Aioli dressing is well made with a hint of spiciness,chicken bits include skin only pieces. -3.5/5 Ginger seemed like a standard package from the market. Salad base is so-so with 90% of its content being coleslaw vege. Chicken bits themselves are very well done. I'm not sure if I liked the combination of the fried chicken & chosen salad. Eggplant meatballs: Presentation is good, still more on the earthy side. Tomato smells amazing, caper dressing on top added another flavor profile that's even more powerful than the sauteed tomato.Tomato sauce is quite balanced though a bit sour for my taste. Vegetarian meatball but it's one that isn't trying to pretend that it's one. Although it's a rather mushy meatball with beans (chickpeas?), the eggplant skin adds a nice surprise to the texture of it. Couscous pancakes as base layer provides good carbs & adds to the presentation. Simple stewed zucchini on top is great. -4/5 A very well balanced dish, very earthy ingredients & the dish definitely gives out a hearty feeling, healthy & balanced, very good dinner dish. Parfait & fig: Cute presentation, very creative with the burnt top figs & the candy floss. Parfait is very creamy, delicious, the hint of prosecco really adds to this one. The parfait seems a bit hard to cut with the dessert spoon. There's a thin spread of sweetened butter which is quite interesting & certainly adds another layer when consumed together with the parfait. Not sure what's the best way to consume this dessert, but maybe that's part of the fun of it as well as the warm fig & cold parfait contrast. Fig is nicely toasted, very soft, nice fruity sweetness. Although it's a bit much after a few bites as it's a bit too meaty & solid, it's still a worthy part of the dish. -4/5 The fruit proportion was a bit too big for me, but both the cold sweetened butter & the solid tasting parfait held the experience right up, as well as the fun candyfloss that gets mixed in with each spoon.

It was just a very nice quaint feel. The terrine was excellent, it was very well made and had excellent textures and flavors, a combination of the heartiness and textures of the meat, with a sweetness that came from the accompanying salad and sauce. The fried crispy piece was a bit salty though, but I still enjoyed it overall.

Note the glass cabinet is a little misleading as it features a lot of sweet treats, but you can actually get a Bagette or sandwich, also quiche or salad.
