The owner Esra is an amazing person who is open-minded and welcoming. A little interaction with her and a glass of iced rose latte made my day.

Lovely corner spot with perfect outdoor (and indoor!) tables. Coffee and tea to stay or to go. They also have bags of artisanal loose teas and coffee to purchase to take home. Of note, The kindness of the proprietor was absolutely amazing; a person at the building next-door was watering plants and I (inadvertently) got doused with some water, I guess they couldn’t see me behind the plant they were watering, and the proprietor of the coffee shop promptly promise I’m napkins, and re-did my latte (it, too, got watered a bit). And I got a second chocolate, too.

Cute & relaxing cafe. :) I came here with my dog during our morning walk and the owner of the cafe was so kind that they even offered my dog water. I loved the pumpkin spice latte and pastries. Thank you, I would love to visit again soon! :)

Incredible chai latte and very friendly proprietor. Relaxing atmosphere to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. Ask where to leave a tip at the counter when ordering for a cute surprise!
