Food: 3/5 Drinks: 4/5 Service: 2/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 I’ll preface this by saying I will be going back mainly because of the cozy, inviting atmosphere. I’ve ordered the grey earl matcha and flat whites on all three visits, and they’ve been consistently good, though I can’t speak to the rest of the drink menu. The flavor options are fairly limited, which was a bit disappointing. I asked about lavender and hazelnut on different occasions and they didn’t have either. I’ve also been getting the avocado focaccia toast with prosciutto, which has been consistently good. On my most recent visit, the focaccia was slightly burnt, but still enjoyable overall. My main downside has been the service. On two out of three visits, it wasn’t very welcoming. Not terrible, but there was no greeting or thank you, just quiet interactions behind the counter, which affected the overall experience. I also noticed some minor cleanliness issues, such as dirty dishware, which took away from an otherwise nice setting. That said, the atmosphere is truly lovely, and I’m hopeful future visits will improve on both service and attention to detail.
