This review is about sustainability only!
I would love to see more explicit communication from the servers, either by word-of-mouth, or through signage, that encourages customers who are dining in to utilize reusable mugs and drinkware. Scanning the room it feels like that messaging is unclear, as half the people have reusable mugs, and the other are drinking out of throwaway single used plastics.
Perhaps by simply and specifically asking someone if they are going to be dining in, you can then make a point to give them a reusable. I see no reason that people who are dining in or working from this location should create so much waste in the process when they don’t need to.
I so appreciate that you have reusable options in the first place, as many cafés in this area do not. But as a neighborhood on the waterfront, I would love to see just a bit more intention and communication to encourage greener behavior and output!
By 2050 we will have more plastic in the ocean than fish, and when only about 5% of the plastic we produce and consume gets recycled, it is on the individual and the establishment to reestablish better norms.
Thank you for considering how to encourage the better option for your customers. Plastics are hurting us all, let’s work to avoid them in the first place!
This is a lovely space and I can’t wait...

They are also open for dinner Thurs,Fri, Sat, and have a great selection of wine, incredible pizza, and some great small plates. Another perk - I sometimes stop by while on a walk with my corgi and they are always so welcoming and even have freshly made treats 🥰 they’re...
