My only surprise was that it was a smaller coffee drink than I was expecting, maybe 6 oz or so. As for the food, it was also delicious! The portion size was solid and everything worked really well together. There was the flaky toasted bread (not a traditional Cuban bread but still really good), and the perfect amount of mustard and cheese! The sandwich isn't traditional necessarily, but it is still amazing and something I would definitely eat again. It did take about 20 minutes to get to us, however, and we came in at a fairly slow time. I think this is such a hidden gem and I am so glad I found this place! I will definitely come back and try more of their coffee drinks!

I wish I had read this somewhere during my mission to find this place. It took a lot of walking back and forth and definitely walked past it twice before realizing where it was.

My lattes and cold brew are solid though my friend, who likes dark brewed coffee, couldn't get one here today. They do have mugs and glasses available which I always get to avoid using single use ware. But the Classic Avocado Toast, oh MY!! Delicious and full of avocado (which my pic didn't quite capture). Watermelon radish added beauty. Wasabi mayo added a nice tart, tangy flavor. Delicious bread too. Coming back again for that soon!!

My go-to is the Missile, which is a sweet cold brew. I might need to change it up because it's a bit too much on the sweeter side now that I'm more into black coffee.

This was my first time ever at this particular coffee shop, and I was so happy I found it when I…read moredid!! I was looking for something heavier than a pastry and found out they had breakfast sandwiches and their own bagels! Score!! To my surprise, they also had specialty drinks so I had to get the Blondie latte with a plant-based milk. I asked the lady if it was sweet and she said it came with a tablespoon of brown sugar. But they could switch it and make it a teaspoon instead. Perfect! As I got my latte it was amazing!! The espresso used in the latte was actually a mild roast coffee so I really liked the flavor of it roast and it was Organic!! Win-win!! Since I'm trying to avoid dairy at the moment, I asked if I could get the lox bagel sandwich without cream cheese and replace it with avocado. The lady at the register asked another barista behind her and she said it was fine! Perfect!! You also get to pick out what type of bagel you want, so I wanted to try something different and got the sun-dried tomato and basil or something like that! The sweet flavors of the herbs in the bagel and then the juiciness of the tomato baked into the bread once simply wonderfully with my breakfast sandwich!! There's a cute little waiting area inside with at least 10 tables or seats along the breakfast bar counter and a couple of tables. There's also a very large outdoor seating area, but I was cold so I wanted to sit inside to warm up my body since I was going to go to yoga on the beach. I had only planned on eating half the bagel sandwich but honestly, it was so good when it came out. I sat there for a good 20 minutes until I ate the whole thing!! Lol so funny!! I was so stuffed I had to walk an extra mile before I could start my yoga on the beach! As I sat enjoying my breakfast sandwich, I got to overhear the two barista's talk about music!! One of the baristas allowed her device to search new genres of music while the other barista specifically looked up different genres of music she liked and then would tell her device to find music of that era. So interesting to hear their discussion!! I honestly loved everything about this quaint little coffee shop, and I will definitely be back again and again!!

I ordered the Florentine and it was a pretty good, classic type of breakfast dish. Potatoes in the side were cooked well.
