First Impression: The space is very clean and full of light. It’s small but they have made the best out of the space and provide quite a bit of seating options. I really liked the quirky touches added throughout the place. Some really gave me a good laugh.

I can see this cafe being a popular spot in the area and knowing when to go to get a seat would be ideal. The vibe is very cozy and homey. The tables are right by the window, so you'll get lots...
