They just opened their Tech Center upstairs that has computers and Internet. I think there's also after school programs for children, there's help for seniors and low income people to get help navigating the various programs or grants that may be available to them. Even if, you don't need laundry, internet/computer access or help with navigating the various programs to help with property taxes, etc. just come in and grab a coffee and a snack.

It is very sweet as it should be, but the perfect amount. We also like the sea salt shortbread and of course the cinnamon rolls. The cashier was very friendly and patient as I made up my mind on what treats I wanted. I even added some cookies as a last min gift to give for the holidays. The bakery is small with a few indoor seats but there's some cute outside seating as well. There is parking on both Kerchaval and Parker. We will be back as we live dangerously close. Definitely stop in and try what all the hype is about. You won't regret it.

They play great music and are actually attached to a vinyl shop. The staff is incredibly nice, when I was there last time, they gave us free donuts and were really friendly. The coffee is great, but they don't have a ton of options to select from, both for the coffee and the pastries. Also, I wouldn't recommend working out of here, as the music can be pretty loud, but it's absolutely a great place to come and hang out with friends.

From their cakes and cookies, to their parfaits and macaroons, everything just hits. On a most recent visit, I tried their biscoff parfait and it was a show stopper. It was hard for me to enjoy my Matilda chocolate cake (though I managed) knowing that I had more biscoff parfait to eat. They do coffee and other assorted beverages as well, but those are just support for the real stars of the show here, their desserts. I cannot say one bad thing I have had here (though a friend of mine says their cinnamon rolls were underwhelming). OVERALL - a great ending to an evening, or a destination unto itself. Get some, now!
