Desserts: Initially, I was hesitant to get anything due to the price but, man, I'm really surprised, completely worth it. These treats are delicious! I tried other cookie spots and those places just aren't the same. The brownies maybe my fav. I've tried I think at this point five different cookies and they all were super yummy. I don't even care for rice crispy treats but theirs were really decent! The cinnamon roll was also nice too and had a very rich vanilla flavoring; I later found out that they MAKE their own vanilla extract from REAL vanilla beans! This place is my after work pleasure. One time I went 3 times in one week. I look forward to the seasonal treats (orange season).
I once order them on that app (Can't remember the name but it's where you can order things from places before they close for the day) and tried some other baked goods that I normally wouldn't order- it was a great way to try their other options and put me onto some of the other desserts.
Tea: I like ordering tea because of the unique cups they use. Very clean cozy feel and a pretty large tea options. Will have to try more of the teas in the future.
Atmosphere: Warm place with nice booths and layout sofas. The paintings on the walls are kind of funny; Famous artwork mixed with a cookie pun haha
Community: I enjoyed going to the trivia nights because it was lively and a chance to meet other people. This is great, especially as an expat - finding a community while having a good time. Every week, it was something to look forward to.
Last, the owners were nice to talk to and welcoming. They weren't just acting as business owners, they showed different sides to them - they're people- open, honest, and vulnerable with unique stories of their individual...

Read moreBagels! Real bagels. These aren't Mercadona circle-bread. Let me say it again for the algorithm: they make bagels here and they're worth every penny. Get one with cream cheese and the homemade tomato sauce if you enjoy putting good things in your mouth.
The cookies, cinnamon rolls, and brownies are tasty too, yes, but bagels.
The owners are super friendly and wont to invite you to trivia night. We were told it starts at 8, but to get there by 7:30 because it fills up. Thinking this was a bit of understandable hype, we sauntered in at 7:40 and were the last two to be seated -- they ended up turning everyone else away. We met some lovely folks at our table and managed to take third place after many drinks and...
