Food and drinks are so much better than the Blue Bottle cafe over the street. I got the London Fog, quiche of the day (spinach and egg), brown sugar almond cake, and the sweet danish. 10000000% recommended! Most items are between $4-7 and are excellently made. It’s also really cute inside and would be a good place for a coffee chat—not so much for studying, there’s only two spots for plugs but their wifi speed is decent.

Super cute for a small chain. Suggested sweet corn latte. Great suggestion. My friend had his usual Spanish latte and pain suisse. I had the quiche. Only complaint is that the quiche was a little cold despite being warmed up. Prices are reasonable and service is top notch!
Saturday around noon, bread and croissants are ok. Coffee unremarkable, service 100% unfriendly, service very slow (we waited even longer because they forgot my dish). I ordered folded egg, it was very salty, as well as the sad side Cesar salad. The A/C in minimum levels during a heat wave. People in the kitchen work slow and inefficient. There’s one big table to sit, that has not been cleaned since the 90s (floor looked quite dirty too). Advice: go for take away bread and run out to the door. Or look for a different bakery nearby
Pluma has some seriously delicious croissants! wonderfully flaky, especially the ham and cheese, and the chicken Caesar Sammy was a hit. My cappuccino was good too, though not exceptional. Unfortunately, the noise level was overwhelming—it was way too loud and packed with people, which made it hard to fully enjoy the experience. If you're looking for a cozy, quiet spot to relax, this might not be the place, but for a quick, tasty bite, the food delivers!
