Stumbled upon this gem of a cafe on a Saturday morning and I am so glad I did. I ordered the vegetarian wrap which was incredible - fresh ingredients and perfectly toasted. My husband ordered the vegetarian burger and says it could very well be the best vegetarian burger he has ever had in his 20 years being a vegetarian. Service is top notch - you feel the authenticity and kindness shine through. What a way to start our Saturday morning!

The coffee is legit and the ambience is great. The staff is so nice it feels like hanging out at a friend's place. Our new favorite spot for sure as our office is in same building.

Been here twice now. They serve a wide range of food coming in generous portions. I like the atmosphere and the food is tasty. However, today my poached eggs on toast were overcooked and needed more salt. Food took a while to come since a large group had ordered right before us. We were given complimentary madeleines as an apology, which we really appreciate. Last time I came here, I had the big breakfast, which was super filling and yummy. Overall, it’s a nice quiet spot to visit for breakfast or lunch.

The coffee was rich and flavorful, and the pastries were simply divine – especially the almond croissant! It's the perfect spot to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delightful cafe experience. I'll definitely be back!

I have recently moved into my office near this cafe, and ever since then this cafe has become my go-to coffee spot. With free wifi and power points, this is the perfect place to do some work outside office. On top of the wide range of food selection from sandwiches, salad, pasta and seafood, they also provide outstanding customer services. Shoutout to Karan and Raj, for putting in the time and effort in setting up this beautiful space!

I absolutely love this cafe! I can't recommend it enough. The owners are very friendly and make an effort to remember their customers' names and orders. The coffee is top-notch, the food is delicious, and they often have fun new specials on the menu. It’s definitely worth checking out.
