Some friends and I ordered sandwiches and salads here. You can also get a variety of specialty coffees, pizza, cupcakes/muffins and churros. For our order, we were pleased with the fresh bread in particular, but the rest of the food was okay to pretty good as well.

I liked also their cheese rolls, so buttery. For drinks, i chose one from their selection of signature drinks pictured on the wall. For me it was Ube Royale, a cold, purple concoction with the unmistakable taste of purple yam and a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. It was heavenly. I want to give myself a medal for instinctively knowing...
