Mark J.March 12, 2015Great coffee but the sandwiches are way overpriced for something I could make at home. The back seating area is super cute and great for working. Also, locally run!
Quick made to order breakfasts. Never had to wait anything longer than 10 minutes. Usually in and out in under 8.
Ben GoodmanAugust 2, 2013The food is great here. Seriously awesome. But it takes about 48 years for them to make the food. Keep that in mind.
It may not be NYC finest but the garden smoked salmon sandwich taste like it came from midtown Manhattan by the way of DC. It's a great sandwich
Nora LivengoodSeptember 7, 2014Delicious, cheap coffee and breakfast. Get the special, whatever it is!- I tried theclassic big brkfast platter w/extra bacon with grits. I felt like Adam Richman from MvF.. omg it was freakin awesome..
Roger FerryMarch 17, 2013Great food! Pleasant staff. Liked the atmosphere. Close to convention center.
Arianna ChozaDecember 3, 2013The smell of heavy food is quite pungent. I'm honestly worried that a 10 minute stay will have me taking the order with me. But a triple espresso is $2.05
It's all about the big burrito. I get mine with bacon but the turkey sausage is also g
- The Mexican Mayan Mocha with an extra shot is great
Really nice people. Sometimes it gets packed in the morning but the breakfast BLT is worth the wait!
I get coffee here every morning, it is a nice corner cafe and they make great 5 shot americanos!
