"While visiting family for a few days in the area, I was eager to find a local spot that had their own thing going on. I love trying out places with full menus and interesting drinks to offer. I actually at first walked right past this place because the snow was in my eyes! It 's a local place that doesn 't insist upon itself; it 's there and it 's very very good. Their breakfast menu is great and very accommodating for vegans and vegetarians. They had a million options for regular and gluten free pastries, it seemed, and everything was delicious. I had the breakfast burrito and I believe the carrot cake, and my boyfriend had the Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich. I 've been disappointed in the past with coffee and brunch places where the coffee was great but the food was portioned tiny this was NOT the case. I nearly had to force myself to finish, it was that much food! They offered a drink called a 'chaggacccino ', which had mushroom extract in it I believe. Interested in trying something I 've literally never heard of or thought would be a good combination before, I proceeded to order this drink twice a day for several days in a row both hot and iced because it was *that* good. The flavor profile was perfect. My boyfriend ordered a flat white and the pistachio brown sugar latte, both of which were steamed and sweetened to perfection. In a time where the city seems to be expanding and changing its identity, walking in here felt very natural and very authentic. The staff were quick with a recommendation and a friendly demeanor. If I lived closer, I 'd be there all the time. I 'm already excited for my next visit home so I can stop in!"
