    Awesome fresh squeezed juices (carrot and orange), great pastries, too! Usually filled with people staying at the Fairmont. Quiet spot to get work done.

    This is the best bakery in town, period. Justmake sure to order your birthday cakes at least 7 days in advance, or just get one ready to go. Their mexican wedding cookies are heavenly :)

    The latte was just ok. Go elsewhere for coffee but this place has solid sandwiches and juice! Get the ice cream + carrot juice. A great Persian dessert specialty!

    Nice place, but food & coffee are only average! Haven't tried their cake! Service is bad, wait for my sandwich outside for a while, had to go and ask for it! The waitress said she couldn't find me!

    The workers don't really look like they know what they're doing, and my boyfriend's chocolate mocha tastes like bland milk. Lol don't get a chocolate mocha if you plan on coming here
