    Pastries are scrumptious! We tried a cinnamon roll and a chocolate croissant, both of which were huge and excellent. The service was great!

    Super cute place, really like the dragon burrito and Bliss cakes. But STAY AWAY from the chilaquiles! Worst I've ever had.

    The staff here has no ability to manage tables. First we were told 10 mins; we checked again 15 mins later and were told at least another half hour, with no apologies. Skip this spot.

    Bug in my water, very slow service, no coffee drink menu, messed up my coffee order, and food took an hour. BUT, the food tasted literally AMaZING!
