I’ve been coming to this café for years and it’s only been getting better! Best latte and San Francisco Francisco. It’s also in the laundromat so it has really cool vibe I always get the locks bagel. It’s super good.

Excellent cafe! Great coffee and nice place to get work done, ready or study! Friendly service and very welcoming. Love the cozy decor :)
Hidden gem, come check it out for yourself and find out why I say that. 10 out of 10 coffee and food!
The Hideaway is like Batman's Batcave, but with a twist of making laundry enjoyable. Great place to retreat from the chaos and nice place for privacy and peace while sipping on good coffee!

Cute place but unfortunately they had nothing except ham and cheese croissant (no explanation) for a very expensive price considering it’s just an open croissant with a slice of cheese not even melted…bit disappointing but interior is nice!
