Great Enviro. Chocolate croissant was great but didn't have a lot of chocolate on the inside. Food took a minute but was definitely made with care. Staff was noligable and kind!
Looking for a great cup of coffee without needing to fill out an instant credit application to purchase it? Try Messenger coffee. This particular location has a 50s 60s Diner Vibe yet still modern. They handcraft their drinks right as you wait in the price is fantastic.
A lovely spot with delicious pastries made in house, and fabulous drinks. The kouign-amann is excellent! Perfectly crispy and flaky outside, with a generous coating of sugar, and an incredible inside with that perfect jammy custard texture. Atmosphere is bright and open, and the cups and mugs on offer are classic and fun.
This was definitely worth the visit. The house-made syrups were yummy in my matcha. However, the Kouign Aman pastry is the STAR here! Perfect texture; soft on the inside, flaky and sugary on the outside. I’m not exaggerating when I say it is the highlight of my trip so far, but I’m a pastry girl. My husband got the Focaccia and Lox; and while seafood isn’t my thing, he said he was taken somewhere else by both taste and texture. My only complaints are that I wished the Blackberry Thyme turnover had had more filling, and the breakfast burrito didn’t have the vegetarian option. Be aware, they can’t do any substitutions on the burrito because they are premade. Also, just know this is a busy place, so the lines and the food wait time can be a while. We came on a Sunday morning, so I don’t know if it’s different on other days, but I wouldn’t treat this like a quick stop unless you are ONLY getting pastries, and even then the lines might be long. We will be back!
Very overrated coffee shop. Coffee was bitter and sour. They served espresso in a large plastic cup🫨🤦🏻♀️ idk how difficult to get a proper dishes for each type of drinks. Bakery was not running, and no fresh pastry on Sunday morning. Generally place was not well cleaned. I saw a lot of negative reviews about rude service, but here I would say opisit. The one thing that was pleasant is nice people behind the counter.
