They have large patio and fast WiFi for working or letting the kids play too. Their food options are mostly made in house and although they sound plain - they all have an extra little detail that makes them something you can’t get anywhere else. Mauricio the owner is your friend and Katrina is secretly the best barista in town. Ask anyone who goes there and they’ll tell you the same. They also are so flipping nice! I went in once 5 years ago and we were friends because all the sudden we had coffee in common and that’s all it takes. Oh yeah and they’re decaf doesn’t have any chemicals because they use the Swiss water technique to extract the caffeine. Also the iced, decaf, mocha with oat milk is like a oatmeal cookie. They’re the perfect blend of sweet and coffee. All their syrup are made in house and are not too sweet. I love the breve and don’t usually get sweet drinks, but their honey, cinnamon latte is on everyone’s list of favorites. The coffee is so pure tasting and never bitter! Not even the espresso. They roast differently - they only use a medium roast and I know that every other shop mostly serves a dark roast and I don’t know why you would, because you lose the coffee taste, the caffeine and have to replace it with sugar to taste decent. I think I’ve figured out why it’s so much better. I’ve been going here almost every day for years and when they’re closed we go home and make coffee with their awesome Guatemalan beans. I can’t wait to eat there again and only hope that the host has had a little more training before our next arrival.Īt first I liked Starbucks and was relatively happy with all the coffee places in town, but after going here a few times, nothing else compares. The old church setting with the modern decor were absolutely lovely.īut the food is what totally impressed us! Everything we ate was perfectly cooked and served with a beautiful presentation. He made excellent drink recommendations (I highly recommend the pistachio old fashioned), and he was able to easily answer questions about the menu. Our server was top notch and very informed about the menu. From that point on the experience was amazing! Thankfully, the restaurant was able to seat our large party. We would have been understanding if they told us we’d have to wait, but instead we were made to feel somewhat unwelcome. But that was only after she kept reminding us that reservation was for 2. We had to ask her if she could find space for us. It doesn’t take much social skills to know the next course of action as a host would be to apologize and see if it’s possible to accommodate such a large party. She acted slightly annoyed at our shock and surprise. When we said there must be a mistake, the young hostess repeated to us three times that the reservation said 2. We arrived early to discover that the reservation was recorded as a table for 2. I’m giving this place 5 stars with a bit of a caveat that frankly isn’t reflective of the overall dining experience.Ī friend of ours reserved a table for 7 (4 adults, 3 kids).
On top of that, their rosé by the glass from South Africa was a surprising delight. (The inside of an old church steeple is a bit of a noise chamber!) We scored a great table off to the side, right under the stained glass windows, where it was a bit easier to hear.
We had attentive, helpful, smiling service. We didn't have room for dessert, but snuck in some Mousse Tracks (chocolate mousse with walnuts, marshmallows, whipped cream and cookie crumble) anyway. Drenched in beurre blanc, kissed with lemon and a little spice, a hint of the smoke from the cook, and nestled in between the fillets: fried brussel sprouts. The beet-orange salad with little puffs of whipped ricotta was just bright enough to offset the creamy cheese dishes, before. Great spice, creamy cheddar sauce, crunchy cashews, and perfectly charred florets. The cheesy cauliflower was so good we couldn't stop eating it, even after we were very full. Each flavor came through, from the flaky finishing salt to the tiny slices of mint, to the gooey pine nut butter swirled with fig jam and the toasty edges of the brioche.
The burrata appetizer was delicious and so complex. Wowsa: This is one of those restaurants that lives up to it's (long standing) hype 🙌
