Serves Switch Espresso . Good coffee for the area with aeropress , pourover , and siphon methods available – if you're not in a hurry. A nice shop overall.

Joanna

Modern interior , traditional breakfast options, some glutenfree cakes but they look very unhealthy. Wega coffee machine , unfortunately the "barista" needs a training as the coffee is burnt.

Hank

Campari

You can't go wrong with the eggs benedict . Unless you spill it on yourself or something.

Poached eggs turned out half boiled. Bread was too tough it was a chore trying to chew through it.

Egg florentine is the best!

So. Goddamn. Slow. Don't come in on a weekend unless you like waiting 20 mins for coffee or an hour for food.
