Espresso here is consistently well-extracted, with the baristas demonstrating a practiced hand at dialing in shots and crafting velvety microfoam for their milk drinks. Their menu features creative specialty beverages like the Dirty Horchata and Lavender Latte, which are both expertly balanced and thoughtfully presented. Pour-overs are prepared with care, highlighting nuanced notes in single-origin offerings. Food options, from flaky croissants to hearty breakfast sandwiches, complement the beverage selection. Both food and drinks are served in sturdy, attractive ware with seating that encourages relaxation or a quick refuel.
