Great little place to study at the girls are super welcoming! Whether you want to study in a corner or chat with the baristas this is the place to go! Their coffees and teas are super yummy and the service is great! The Cops and Robbers sandwich is my go-to every time!
Monica C.
I love this little coffee shop! It reminds me of the coffee shops in Ascona, Switzerland. Wonderful rich coffees, great bakery, and menu items, and top it off with Italian-inspired desserts. Enjoy the Gardens with patio seating.
