    It’s a beautiful building with a chic and polished interior. There is a separate cafe in the main hall while the restaurant is towards the back. The staff at the cafe are really nice and highbrow, while remembering our names, even on a busy day. The coffee and food items tasted pretty good! We had the lox bagel that tasted great and was filling. The macchiato was great and the affogato even better! Although, I will admit, be ready to spend about $25 per person if you’re getting food and coffee. Theres a tea shop at the other end of the hall and a store behind it with many beautiful upscale merchandise.

    Everything was fantastic! We will definitely be back. Great atmosphere and awesome food. We ordered some items as apparently because we wanted everything. Feta spread was delicious. Loved my Hey Pumpkin drink!

    This place was absolutely amazing! From the time you walk in it’s gorgeous. While I was there I did the candle pour which was a nice experience. The employees there are very knowledgeable and have great recommendations as to what scents pair well with each other. I did the reed diffuser and I put in my bathroom and it completely fills it with the fragrance. While we were there we also did grab some lunch and that was good too.

    Absolutely loved this place! From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by a beautiful, classic style interior that feels warm and inviting, especially with the charming Christmas décor throughout. Everything is spotless and very well maintained, which immediately stands out. The coffee is excellent rich, smooth, and clearly made with care and the food is just as impressive, fresh and delicious across the board. The bookstore is a real gem, offering a great selection of books that makes you want to linger and explore. On top of all that, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service is impressively quick without ever feeling rushed. It’s the perfect combination of bookstore, café, and restaurant an absolutely wonderful place to relax and enjoy. Highly recommended!

    Compliments to the chef for the pan roasted salmon. Unfortunately yet fortunately, I was looking to place a to-go order (fish tacos), but they were pretty busy and did not have the dish available. I have diet restrictions so the next best thing was the pan roasted salmon. I did not regret the choice to dine in for this meal. It comes with your choice of a side. I chose the included spicy sweet potato fries. I also ordered the RC black tea, however they were also out of this item. But the RC blackberry jasmine was a great option as well. I did the hot pot, with honey. I was able to get 3 cups out of it. My server Joel, was professional and polite as well. After I finished, I explored the building and captured some great photos and videos. I also want to give my appreciation to Spencer who gave me a quick informing tour and membership information, as well.

    What a fabulous & interesting place! Elevated dining, champagne bar, bookstore, create your own candles/scents, upscale homeware retail shop…. Had a wonderfully refined & rustic Tomato Cambozola Soup with buttermilk cream, fresh chive and a perfectly cooked salmon with fresh spinach and the best buttery crisp piece of focaccia bread I ever had! Friendly staff all around in a unique place you want to linger in and explore.

    Out of this world ! What a beautiful place and experience! We had the chicken ciabatta + banana cake and coffee at their coffee shop and it was delicious. Very tasty and fresh. We also got a chocolate croissant that they took forever to deliver and didn’t even warm it up… frustrating! Their restaurant is extremely busy. There was no waiting list, just cancellation list. I highly recommend visit this place!

    Very beautiful bookstore, store, and restaurant. There was not a wait time for a busy Sunday morning. The service was great given that it was busy. The food was amazing! I ordered the French Toast with a side of sausage. We also ordered the breakfast tacos which was great and a filing portion. There’s plenty of photo backdrops and nice quiet areas to have a good read. Having great food with a very pleasant atmosphere definitely set the tone for a great breakfast date.
