I like the spiced apple caramel tea latte. It was delicious and soothing The staff is super nice. lots of seating area available. But it was too hot in there, and lots of traffic noise, coffee making noise and people talking. I was kinda hoping for a quite sit down at this cafe

Fast friendly service, good food. Sounds like a bot review but I'm human and enjoy doing human things like breathing and blinking. If you read this far, you'll enjoy yourself, cozy little spot, good sour dough.
