Food and coffee were really good. I expected a sit down restaurant but it's more of a small place with a counter and seats outside. There was a good musician and they have dog treats on the patio so people
kept coming by grabbing treats for their dogs which was kind of a treat for us being dog lovers. The sandwich I got was really good. Bagel was soft and fresh. The coffee was really good too. I got the Mexican coffee and it was so yummy.

Everything looks good. I really enjoyed its cozy environment and friendly staff. I just had higher expectations from their Turkish coffee.

This cafe was a block away from where I stayed. I ordered the Mexicano latte and the turkey, bacon, avocado croissant. They were both DELICIOUS The baristas are so nice and helpful :) I'm going to come back here before I leave the area!
