It was a Awsome coffee....!

At the risk of sounding like the worst person you’ve ever met, the flat white I had from here was really dull, one might even say it fell ~flat~. If you’ve ever tried to make hot chocolate with water, that was the vibe. The initial taste was nice but the espresso shot didn’t pack the full punch. Idk. This is so snobbish but it’s my truth 🙊✊

Came here on a balmy morning for a coffee and a cookie and I was not disappointed. I had an iced flash brew which was full bodied and beautifully clear. The shoryu chocolate cookie was the perfect balance of crumble and moisture. There are two tables and chairs outside under an awning, with several spaces inside along purpose built counters. There’s a wide selection of wine available to purchase too, if that’s your thing. Staff are polite and charming. Highly recommended.
