Super cute cafe! We got The Rachel and the sausage breakfast sandwich. Both were made fresh and were very delicious! Quick counter service. Definitely would go back!

Great cafe! It's clean, chic, has spacious design with seating both inside and outside. Also fairly convenient near a metro. My friend got a crogel (croissant bagel) and she said it was delicious

The inside was really cute! I was only in there for one second to pick up a takeout order. The smoked turkey was really good. I loved the mustard and the brie on it. I would definitely try more! Unfortunately, I did order the potato salad and they forgot to include it, so that was a bummer.

Bright & airy cafe with a limited menu of hot food, pastries, and drink options Have a florist in-house as well I got a nitro iced coffee and a blueberry toast. The blueberry toast was delicious. The nitro iced coffee was from Compass Coffee (so ofc it was great), but the barista added ice to it which is something that I have never had someone do with a nitro iced coffee before. The barista also got my GF's coffee order wrong as well, so maybe some more training is in order.

My friend and I stopped in here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. I was first impressed by the fun decor and layout of the shop. I love fresh flowers, so the floral setting really appealed to me. My friend and I both ordered iced coffees, which were great. They offer cream and sugar at a separate drink station, they don't add it directly into the drink for you, which was fine by me. I ordered the southwestern chicken salad which was delicious! It was a large portion filled with quality ingredients. My friend ordered a sandwich and hers looked equally as tasty! I really enjoyed my experience here and would recommend other try it as well! My only constructive criticism would be to increase order preparation time. It felt like we waited a longer time than most shops for a salad and a sandwich. Overall a great experience. Check them out!
