Great Space, Terrible Drink
I had a great experience with the space for doing work or meeting. The lighting and huge space were impressive. Good job on that.
However, my iced london fog was terrible.

Allegations of Manager Stealing Food
BEWARE! The manager *allegedly* takes food (like the meats) home from the store and then brings it back to the store to serve! Disgusting.
Will never recommend this place, unless you want stinky meat.

Lovely cafe for a peaceful coffee break
People working around here are so lucky to have a café like this near their office. I came for coffee in the morning after visiting Black’s Beach, and the vibe was so nice and peaceful. The food was good, and the service was also great.

Hidden Gem Cafe with Great Food & Ambiance
I came in here to work for a couple of hours and had a truly lovely experience. The cafe is a spacious, airy place with lots of natural lighting and high vaulted ceilings, making it a definite hidden gem. The lunch was really good, and the staff were really pleasant and efficient.
Additionally, the free Wifi was pretty good. We enjoyed the Latte, Breakfast Burrito, Bread Pudding, and tomato soup. For parking, there's free street parking, and the cafe offers lots of outlets for charging.
Both indoor and outdoor seating are available.

A Hidden Gem for Brunch Lovers
What a hidden gem! I discovered this place by chance and it has since become my go-to spot to escape the crowds. The avocado toast and tomato is amazing and truly the most delicious on the menu.
I also highly recommend the lavender latte, which is the best! The outside area is lovely, and the inside is another story – a wonderful atmosphere.

Favorite Coffee Spot with Weekend Hours Wish
This is one of my favorite places to go for coffee. My only critique is I wish they had hours on the weekend. My toddler loves coming with me and hanging out outside.
The atmosphere and service were both rated a 5, and the food also received a 5. The Sausage Burrito is a recommended dish, and the price per person is between $10–20.

Beautiful Atmosphere, Rude Service
My first time here, I was drawn in by the beautiful atmosphere, which was super nice and quiet. However, my experience was marred by the lady at the cash register, who was beyond rude. As someone who works in customer service, I know that's absolutely not how you should act.
While it's a great place, I suggest refreshing the cash register staff.

Favorite Spot for Work and Vibes
My experience at this restaurant has been fantastic! The food and coffee are excellent, and the atmosphere is perfectly set up for business professionals, making it ideal for meetings and laptop work. The good vibes overall are a major plus, and the staff is incredibly friendly.
I stumbled upon this place randomly on Google, and a year later, it remains my favorite spot to work from. 🫶

Nice place, inconsistent service
This is a really nice place with a good size and a good menu. However, the issue is the inconsistent service. On one occasion, the cold brew ran out, and although they knew, they didn't inform me until after I paid, which made me 10 minutes late and they couldn't offer a refund.
Another time, around 10: 30 am, it took 10 minutes to get a latte.

Gorgeous Spot with Excellent Food & Service
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly positive. The gorgeous interior and exterior, coupled with its clean and roomy atmosphere, immediately set a welcoming tone. The staff were all in good spirits and incredibly accommodating and down-to-earth.
I thoroughly enjoyed the excellent food and coffee. While I received the bacon sandwich instead of the ham I ordered, it was a welcome surprise, especially since the brekkie sandwiches come on their homemade milk buns – a must-try! The restaurant is also a great place for study, being quiet, not too crowded, and featuring pleasant lofi jazz music.
I'm eager to return ASAP. A unique touch: the bathrooms have ring lighting on their mirrors.
