Cardamom bun ($6) was softer and sweeter than usual…seemed a bit underbaked to me but maybe that’s because they heated it?
Latte ($6): My latte was good – on the weaker side and less sweet than usual (I didn’t ask for any sweetener). There was no foam art.
The place is cute with a large covered outdoor patio, planters in front, and counter seating inside. There’s free wi-fi. Parking is difficult. Open daily.
3.5 out of 5 stars
