Go early if you’re looking for a particular item! This is one chain of the popular bread and mocha snacks. They run out of certain goodies by 7 or 8 PM each night. Everything here is made fresh. This particular store is smaller than the other ones, but you can sample their snacks here.

Grab and go place, no seating or bathrooms...
