What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"I went to this cafe with a friend where I ordered an iced latte accompanied by a gluten-free brownie. The brownie was decadent and rich, definitely a highlight of the visit. I got an iced vanilla latte with oat which was good as well. My friend opted for a hot chocolate paired with a savory sandwich, and he thoroughly enjoyed both. The hot chocolate was creamy and indulgent, while the sandwich was fresh and satisfying, making for a delightful meal overall. They have a bathroom, wifi and its spacious with seating."
"I tried to give this bakery a chance a few times since it’s the only one in the area. But every single time I get bread from here it’s never baked right. It’s either burnt, undercooked or dense. And this happens whenever I come once every few months. It’s very disappointing they never improved on the quality. Although the owner did apologize and refund the money I don’t think that resolves the issue. I’m writing this review so other customers like me can be aware that even though the bread they offer can be purchased for free it’s not worth it if the quality stays at this level."
"Amazing twice baked pistachio croissant. Probably the best in the city. Good coffee and they offer free refill on drip coffee. Friendly service."
"Wonderful neighborhood gem! I love this bakery, it's sandwiches and especially Chef D'Troit's excellent pizza. The place is a lot of fun. The speakeasy downstairs is uber cute and romantic, and I really enjoy the time I've spent there — whether it was for the weekend BBQs or just to do some writing on a laptop while sipping coffee. Great spot!"
"The pizza here is sooooooooooooooooooooo good! And for the first time I had a donut right out the fryer - the most delicious donut I've ever tasted! I'm definitely going back, probably tomorrow lol"
"It's a hike to get there from Manhattan, but worth it to the point of visiting regularly. Workers are super helpful, chill, and the seating outside is..."
