βWhat a lovely bakery! I had one of the oat bars, the chocolate babka, and the hibiscus tea and each item was absolute perfection. As a habitual tea drinker, I could tell the leaves used were high quality and the taste was complex and tangy. The oat bar was the perfect mix of tart and sweet. And the BABKA...to die for--chocolately, pillowy dough, rich...who can ask for more? Also the woman who took my order was so kind and helpful! Wonderful spot with great service!! Editing to add: my roommate says the chocolate babka is better than breads bakery (who is famous for theirs) and I agree!!!!β

βThis coffee shop is so special to me! The couple who runs it are the sweetest pair in the whole world. You can really see their dedication to the cafe. Their pistachio cake changed my life! Probably one of my favorite sweets ever in the world. I also love their cold brew and ham and cheese croissant. I actually tried their egg sandwich on a brioche bun the other day and it was phenomenal. They are probably the most underrated bakery ever! I love chatting with them too. All around just such a gem!β

βHad the best experience ordering baked goods for catering from here for my son's birthday. The pastries and cupcakes were such a hit and everyone wanted to know where they were from! Ordering was really easy - the owners helped me choose and I ended up with the perfect amount for the guests (meaning we had just the right amount leftover to enjoy by ourselves afterwards ). They even packaged my order up nicely to make it easy for transport. I appreciated the awesome service, especially when there was snow outside! The matcha latte from here is amazing too!β
