Love the croissants there, and yes, I missed their happy hour for half price breakfast items. I wish that they will offer it again.

Wow. worst service ive encountered in a while. it seems like theyre short-staffed, and that is understandably frustrating and difficult, but not an excuse to be so rude. we werent sure whether we were at the right counter for coffee or if wed need a ticket for it, and when we asked questions, they either didnt answer, or their answers were flat and very clearly annoyed/exasperated. the pastry we got was good. my chai latte was the blandest ive ever had. definitely dont recommend
