    I like the Greek quiche warmed. I also love their lattes, especially the vanilla rose, they make their syrups! I have been here a lot between 8am-9am, looks like a great spot for meetings.

    Amazingly nice staff! One of my coworkers left her wallet at the office, and they let her take the food and coffee and come back at the end of the day to pay!

    This place is super yummy!! The French toast bagel with cinnamon is so good and has strawberries on it. The yogurt is great as well. The almond mocha is amazing!!!

    Literally the best muffins in town!! The muffin top is crispy on the outside but the inside is so soft! They have plugs everywhere and free wifi!

    Double espresso and the sausage, pepper and goat cheese quiche, because real men don't care about gender roles and old sayings.

    Can't go wrong with any of the lattes! Pumpkin spice is my favorite.
