★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Raghdaa Barmo · Sep 2025

I never post reviews but I was so shocked that I was asked to put away my laptop in a coffee shop that I came online to read reviews… on my phone. Some reviews mentioned that if the cafe is not at full capacity, the staff would not enforce a laptop limitation. But here is the seating area today and I was told laptops weren’t allowed at all. There’s also no WIFI and the espresso tastes terrible (bitter and acidic). But I was still willing to sit and enjoy the atmosphere while finishing the food I had ordered. But then to have a staff member come up to me when I’m sitting here quietly minding my own business to tell me laptops aren’t allowed… it’s like they’re asking me to leave. Message received.

DO NOT COME HERE TO WORK/STUDY. There is a very confusing no laptop policy. There are no signs anywhere in the cafe regarding this. So, it seems like they pick and choose who they want to communicate this information to... There are some reviews that say certain people with laptops were fine, some people were told to leave. I came on a Sunday to do some studying. I sat my backpack, books, and laptop down on the table then went to order at the front. Right before paying, the barista let me know that there is a no-laptop policy. People can use their phones and books, but they draw the line at laptops - which is so strange in 2026. I would not recommend this anti-intellectual institution.

Walked into this café, completely empty, ordered and paid, sat down… and then got told laptops aren’t allowed. If the place were crowded and they wanted to keep tables moving, fine; that’s understandable. But the café was basically vacant. No signs anywhere saying “no laptops,” no warning before ordering. Only after you’ve paid and settled in do they decide to mention it. That’s just bad communication and worse customer service. Be upfront about your rules before people spend money. Otherwise it just feels like a bait-and-switch. Won’t be coming back.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Melissa Wu · May 2023

Food was great but probably won’t revisit, service was horrible. Had coffee, Ricotta Pancake, Avo Toast, Bacon+Egg+Cheese (bread was not brioche roll🤷🏻‍♀️) and another sandwich. No fault in the food! Especially the fruits on the pancake, they were really fresh. But, lady server in spectacles was rude and impatient while taking our order and missed out one of our dishes too.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Robin Zisson Leader · Oct 2025

Empty tables, ordered breakfast and coffee and tried to look at something on my computer and was told it was not allowed. I wasn’t trying to use their Wi-Fi. $25 in food and I can’t sit quietly on my own for 20 minutes. I can understand if there are people waiting for tables and they don’t want people staying all day. But that isn’t what happened. More tables empty than full. They apparently prefer people talking loudly on their phone. Then quietly typing. Not worth the price.
