★★★★★ 5.0 Oğuz Berkay Fidan · Nov 2025

They have a delicious breakfast burrito -- I highly recommend trying it. Their coffee also tastes better than Starbucks. If you want to try something new, you should definitely check this place out. Servers are also kind and friendly. It's like you're at home. Ambience of the patio is also so silence, peaceful to sit and work there.

Very cute little coffee and bakery shop. Nice servers who were polite and courteous. We ordered the smoked salmon avocado toast, croissant, egg salad sandwich & French toast. Food was excellent and fresh. Highly recommend!

One of my fav grab n go morning spots. Just tried the mixed berry gluten-free muffin and was BLOWN AWAY by how flavorful it was. Lovely texture, and it was still warm from the oven. I sometimes worry that gf-options might be so-so choices, and I don't have any reason I need to choose those, but this looked so good I had to try it. So happy I did. And the woman behind the counter was lovely to chat with for a few moments. Can't wait to go back again on a future visit to SM.

This establishment has a back patio. In order to find it you have to make make a left in the parking lot and then a left in the alley. The woman who manages mentions “two lefts” and when shared I was confused she said “oh well, sorry you feel that way”. I’ve never had anyone be so dismissive and disrespectful. The food is decent the energy of kindness is not here. Choose another place for your peace of mind.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Muriel Bravo · Oct 2024

Honestly, I don’t know why this place has such good ratings. It’s a small place, and the menu is limited to mostly sandwiches and a few brunch items. There’s only one table inside; the rest is a bar with three stools (that don’t even reach the height of the table) and two small armchairs with a tiny table. We ordered the omelette and the Easy avocado toast, a coffee, and a bottled juice (no fresh juices available). I didn’t like the omelette because it was basically just the egg covering everything else, with some rustic potatoes on the side. My husband liked the sandwich. There was a variety of pastries that we didn’t try. We also ordered the soup of the day, which was a tomato basil cream. It was a large portion. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t extraordinary either.
