Wonderful! The best pastries ever! Don't miss the sweet cheese Berry pastry! The person who bakes everything and possibly the owner is really nice and accommodating for special orders. I think his name is Uffa. Whole staff is very nice...lots of places to sit and a back room if you need to have a small meeting with a couple people. Just discovered it. So glad!

Wonderful fresh baked stuff-especially savory cheese n jalepeno, or bacon biscuits. Fruit cheese danish really good. Coffee is solid, strong.

Really enjoyed my first visit to this cafe. A double espresso was perfectly made and found a berry burst cake on offer that was amazingly delicious. The service was polite and in leisurely style. Surroundings are comfortable but not smart in any way, along with the rest of the Laurel neighborhood..... returning soon

A nice neighborhood spot to grab coffee and yummy pastries. Has that old neighborhood flair. I like to go here and read the paper and get some work done sometimes. It's only open 7 AM to 2 PM so more of a morning spot. Plenty of outlets And decent Wi-Fi.

I have loved this local business for a long time. It is really a lovely atmosphere. I really like how chill it is in here. The music isn't too loud (please god more places need to turn their music down). Loved my mocha! It wasn't too sweet, and they have great prices here. Honestly, this place is excellent for studying or relaxing and having your morning coffee. I recommend it!
