Nice atmosphere, great beverages, mediocre food that's far more expensive than it has a right to be.
We went the other day. Husband had a blueberry shake and I had a London fog that both tasted great. A bit spendy, but that's to be expected from an independent, chic looking cafe.
Where they really drop the ball on is their food and the ridiculous prices they charge for some of it. $13 for a standard grilled cheese sandwich with no accompaniments is...I have no words. You can pay something like $1 extra for soup of the day, but if you don't want that particular soup, you're left feeling like you just got jobbed.
I had the refresh salad and that was one of the most unbalanced dishes in terms of flavours I've had in recent memory. All it was was salt with some more salt. I had to return it after a couple of bites as it was so inedible it bordered on vulgar. I offered some suggestions on how they could make that salad absolutely spectacular with just a few tweaks (ditch the kale and arugula, swap the feta with goat cheese, add some grapes, replace that horrific Dijon dressing with a raspberry vinaigrette, and - I forgot to suggest this - maybe source out a different kind of smoked salmon, and add something like farro) but I rather doubt they will take any of those suggestions to heart.
I get the feeling this started off as a cafe that offered a few bakery items and then someone got it in their head to add breakfast and lunch items but didn't come from a culinary background and/or hire a restaurant consultant to work on their menu.
This place has potential, but for the prices their offering, that's not enough to have us coming back

The decor is nice, but the tables (and walls) were extremely dirty. My party actually came in when no one was around, but the staff couldn't even come wipe tables. They just stood there behind the counter the entire time. The coffee blend is pretty cheap quality, very weak. One of my party did enjoy the spinach and feta (?) strudel but the blueberry oat bar was soggy and tasted a bit old. Not really impressed with any of it.

After checking the doctor next door, we dropped by the cafe and try having some breakfast. The portion is quite large and taste is good. I loved the onion pickle right next to my sandwich. Bread is also fresh and crispy. Belgian chocolate that my kid have also taste very good
