Gluten free options! My wife said this was the best breakfast sandwich she's ever had; complex, intentional flavors on gluten free "everything bread." We enjoyed breakfast and iced lattes here while visiting friends. Service was friendly, atmosphere is young-cafe (Green Day meets Tom Petty), and seating is comfortable but limited (6 tables and a few window seats). We'll be back!

This place is just wow! I went with my boyfriend and we ordered the Lil Goat sandwich(added bacon, but they do have other meat substitutes in case you’re vegan!) and we also got the Easy Rider Melt. We swapped sandwich halves and wow, both were probably some of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had and my boyfriend agreed! The ciabatta bread is the best ciabatta ever. The iced coffee was also phenomenal, my boyfriend ended up getting another. I had their Pistachio-Cardamom Iced Latte and that was also so good. The atmosphere is so cool, a bunch of art around and the music choice is such a fit for the vibe. The staff is so friendly, I literally don’t have a single bad thing about this place!! I wish I discovered it sooner since I only live a couple blocks away.

10/7/24 Stopped for breakfast with my daughter and had a bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant and my daughter had the same on a ciabatta roll. It was served quickly and made fresh and was so very good. I had lunch with my daughter and the place is clean, decorated nicely, friendly service, and I thought, the food was very good. I had the Moroccan lentil soup and the Redhook on multigrain bread, which came with a side of the most tasty potato salad. My daughter had the chicken salad wrap, which I tried, and that also was delicious! The fresh flowers on the table always adds to the ambience of the place. My daughter's iced chai latte was also very good. Definitely will be returning here to try their other delicious food!

Loved the vibe of the place with an art gallery taking over the walls. The creative names of the dishes and drinks reminded me of bobs burgers lol. I got the seasonal special rose tea latte and it was very good. I also got the “peacher man” sandwich with eggs, veggies, veggie sausage, and peach jam which was very delicious. To my surprise, both my and my friend’s dishes came with a side of potato salad, which was also very good. I would definitely come back again.

Visited my sister who lives in Queen Village over the weekend and came here for breakfast three mornings in a row! Food was incredible, one of the best BEC I’ve had. The space is small but we were always able to grab a seat to enjoy our meal. Very cozy and inviting atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back!

Great local coffee shop catering to dietary restrictions. Food was exceptional for the price with healthy portions. Perfect for a quick cup to start the morning and for quietly contemplating your life.
