Atmosphere gets the highest rating here because the experience peaks upon walking into the open, naturally lit space with high ceilings. Unfortunately it is a downhill slide from that moment on. Board and menu state simply “breakfast sandwich” with 2 different names and no breakdown.

I also purchased a cardamom bun and it was wonderful.

On my second visit my latte was delicious again and the temp was ideal. The cardamom buns weren't available but the croissants are also delicious.

The interior is decorated with intent and overall the environment is cery welcoming. I recommend if you're a...
