The staff is always super nice. The food is quite good too. They can get a little over run in the mornings, especially on the weekends, BUT they do pull over a few extra hands to help. It is a small operation so there can be a short wait when it is busy but it makes sense that the kitchen area is small given off breakfast volumes. The cafe is super cozy to relax in while enjoying your food and drink. Highly recommend the avocado toast and the pastries are always a treat with an afternoon coffee.

We have been there a few times since it first opened and had a great experience. It's Seattle's Best coffee - the espresso drinks were good, not big on the drip coffee. Had the Avocado and Toast with was amazing. Staff is very friendly. We have made visiting one of our normal stops on our downtown walks. Great to have this addition in the area.
