Coffee is decent if you like their beans, not very busy in the mornings as most people don't visit the first floor, service was very quick.

Love the organic acai bowl here! They currently have a buy one, get one free promotion, such a great deal. The acai was delicious. We totally enjoyed it. The coffee is just as good, making it a perfect spot to chill and take a break from shopping. Highly recommend!

The service was friendly and fast. The food was pretty pricey, but it’s a cafe so was expected. It tasted delicious so I’d definitely recommend!
