I walked here from our hotel and was waiting in line for them to open at 7 am. It just happened to be the day of the Hospital Hill race, but it was near the start line so the road was only closed briefly. I ordered the seasonal matcha and picked up a chocolate banana muffin for the train ride to STL. I checked out the 2nd floor as well as the roof seating area since it wasn't busy yet. I loved the variety of seating options and all of the natural light inside the building. Each floor including the roof had water stations. I was going to use the restroom on the 2nd floor but it required a code. I finally ate the muffin on the train and it was so moist and delicious! I only bought one because there was a staff stocking pastries and she recommended the chocolate banana muffin specifically.

Excellent pastries and coffee. Not too sweet, crispy and crunchy in the right places. I also got the sunrise breakfast sandwich which was delicious. It came with a thick slab of bacon cooked to perfection. Good vibes. Multiple floors to find seating so you’re not fighting over where to sit even though this place tracks a lot of traffic.

Loved this local coffee shop! Such a vibe! I'm from out of town and had some friends say this was the coffee shop to visit and it did not disappoint...actually it blew me away! The assortment of pastries, breads, bagels, food, and coffee was outstanding. I got the avocado toast and a seasonal latte. So good! They staff was professional and kind. The line was out to the door and honestly that just showed me that the locals LOVE this place. :) The atmosphere was also nice and refreshing; tons of natural light, with upstairs seating and the third floor outdoor rooftop terrace (so cool!)! I cannot wait to come back again!

This coffee has many things to mention… Structure: the place looks nice and very spacious. You have at least 2 more floors and big tables and smalls livings. Food:, very good quality and fresh. The bad side is that they can not heat up any of the pastry’s they have on the exhibition counter but you can get warm food from the menu. Beverages: we ordered a cappuccino and a matcha, I will say the coffee it is way better. Price: quite a bit expensive, they charge 1,25 extra for milk alternatives. The Avo tortini it is a bit overpriced. Overall it is a good coffee place but a bit pricy.

Avid matcha lover here, impressed by the matcha latte (hot). Cold bakery, but I mixed almond croissant crumbles into matcha and it’s amazing. Bakery WIP downstairs which takes so much space and not much aesthetic, more room of all group sizes on 2nd floor and city view on 3rd roof top. ( even though not much to see?) 6-8 street parking and paid parking lot.
