Even with the crowd, the lively atmosphere made it feel like a fun and welcoming place to meet up with friends. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a good breakfast and coffee spot!

There are so…read moremany pastries, breads, and desserts to choose from that you'll want to take one of everything. My favorite was the Sea Salt Matcha. The matcha had a rich, earthy flavor, and the light sea salt cream on top added the perfect touch without making it overly sweet. It was smooth, refreshing, and one of the better matcha drinks I've had. I also picked up a few pastries, and everything tasted fresh and flaky. The café was clean, the staff was friendly, and despite being busy, the service was quick. If you're a matcha lover, I'd definitely recommend trying the Sea Salt Matcha along with one (or a few!) of their pastries. I'll definitely be back to try more from their bakery.

The bright, open dining room, colorful…read moremurals, yellow chairs and waffle-shaped coffee mugs all fit a playful breakfast concept that feels intentional rather than gimmicky. The coffee was smooth, and the staff worked well as a team. They were attentive and knowledgeable about both the menu and the restaurant's history. We learned that the restaurant is run by a chef duo and that their baker starts around 4 a.m. preparing the day's baked goods. We ordered the Yolkster and the Dirty South. The Yolkster showed solid technique. The hollandaise was glossy, properly emulsified and balanced between richness and acidity. The over-easy egg released a perfectly fluid yolk, while the scratch-made English muffin was nicely browned and crisp outside with a tender interior. The bacon was a little overdone for me, but the chicken sausage was a pleasant surprise with a nice balance of acid and salt. The Dirty South looks heavy when it arrives, but the dish comes together surprisingly well. The sausage gravy was one of the better versions I've had in a while. Good consistency, proper color, plenty of sausage and none of the raw or scorched flour taste that can ruin a gravy. The biscuit was dense but fully cooked with visible layers. The potatoes could have used more exterior crispness. The pico brought a welcome freshness and acidity that cut through the richness of the gravy, biscuit, egg and cheese. A little more would have helped maintain that balance throughout the dish. What impressed me most was the technique behind all that personality. Scratch-made breads, properly cooked eggs, a well-made hollandaise and carefully prepared sausage gravy show a kitchen paying attention to the fundamentals. I left curious about the rest of the menu. Next time, I'm trying the pancakes.

We drove around the building a couple times trying to locate the coffee shop. We decided to just park and walk inside to see if we were in the right location.

The guy working (not sure if he was the owner or not) was very friendly. Both of our coffees had nice added flavor, but the coffee flavor was really watered down. It was like when all the ice melts in your coffee and then you added flavor to try and save it. We only drank maybe a quarter of our drinks before tossing them. Could have just been a bad day. I'd also suggest adding some type of signage outside so customers know where to go.

The regular chocolate donut was great as always. The chocolate glaze was not overly sweet and the dough was amazing! The cake donut was not my favorite, however.

I still give this location 5 stars because I like other items, the cake donut just wasn't for me I guess. Overall, I like this location! it's very close to my apartment, and they got good stuff!

Instead of offering an upcharge or asking if I wanted to purchase them separately--which I gladly would have paid for--the cashier just shut it down, costing the shop an easy upsell.

When I politely asked for a bag for the drinks so I could actually carry my order to the car, she just handed me an empty bag and walked away. I had to bag my own items, defeating the purpose of tipping. Do you not train your employees on basic sales or how to package items for paying customers?
