“ First impressions are great. Well apparently they take reservations and ai just showed up. Found the place nice and tidy. Little hard to find, but a usual ask around culture helped. Got myself an avacado and chicken toast and some latte. Will update once I have it ;) ”
“ The vibe and atmosphere was amazing. Great weather, outdoors, sunny and we were under shade. The caprese croissant was yummm (basil, cheese, tomato). 4.5 for that! The mint margarita drink was amazinggg and refreshing. 4.5 for that! Crushed potato was also 4.5!! Orange and almond cake was also yum! 4 for that :) The cauliflower main dish was ok. It got better after we added a little salt and pepper and chilli oil! The coffee was okayish - we got a regular cold coffee, an almond milk extra shot coffee, and hot latte. I'd go there again for the croissant, and crushed potato! :) ”
