Picked up a strawberry matcha, coffee and toastie here. The toastie was huge! and was really delish and comforting on this cold, windy day. Yum!

Friendly staff. My small açaí bowl was fine but I felt like it was expensive for what it was. $12 for a very small portion of acai, a tiny bit of granola and fruit. Pretty sure the açaí is just the frozen store bought stuff ? The space is cute but for this price I’d likely go somewhere else.
