Modern seating design creates a comfortable vibe. Love the single person seating next to the window. Coffee is good. Prices are expensive. Kind and smiling staff.

I love the barista, she’s super cool and made me a bear (latte art) in my coffee! We had a few different ice creams that were delicious too. There’s sparkling and still water taps and the restaurant is very clean and the staff welcoming.
