Great food, even greater coffee. Nice staff and atmosphere.

More spacious and with a wider range of options than a first glance at the McDonaldesque signage would inspire, this a great place for eco-friendly, fairly priced coffees of any preparation (espresso longe?) desired. And once you’ve enjoyed your quota of croissants, quiche and crepes and ready for oatmeal with nuts and fruit, they actually have their own version five minute oats. The kind staff will add a dash of maple flavor (for lattes) if you wish. And, as Pippin might tell Frodo with eyes wide regarding coffee instead of beer, “it comes in BOWLS!”

The service was genuinely warm and efficient, and while the food was fairly standard, it did the job. The café sits in a high-traffic area, so naturally, the cleanliness could use a bit more attention—but nothing that ruined the experience. What really stood out was the atmosphere: calm, cozy, and perfect for relaxing with a coffee or settling in for a study session. It’s the kind of spot that invites you to slow down for a while. The coffee itself was quite good, and the setting made it easy to unwind. That said, I was disappointed by one key thing: all drinks for dine-in customers were served in single-use disposable cups, which were immediately tossed into landfill garbage bins. It felt jarringly out of sync with the café’s otherwise commendable sustainability efforts—especially considering their coffee is Rainforest Alliance certified and they advertise eco-conscious values. In a time when environmental concerns—particularly around plastic waste and microplastics—are more urgent than ever, offering reusable mugs for customers who choose to sit in would be a simple yet impactful step forward. All in all, it’s a nice place to visit. But I really hope they rethink their approach to waste and make it easier for customers to enjoy their drinks without contributing unnecessarily to the landfill.

Not a bad spot to ride out a storm in. Service was great. The food was alright. High traffic area so the cleanliness left a little to be desired. Overall it is a good place to have a coffee and relax.
