My husband referred me to this place because it's supposed to be gluten-free. The barista was pretty friendly but not knowledgeable whether or not the menu items were keto friendly or gluten-free. I ordered the burrito bowl and I supplemented the rice for lettuce. The carnitas in the burrito bowl was delicious. All the flavors together went well but it was a very strong flavor so I wasn't able to eat much more than half. I asked the barista which would be the best baked item to recommend for me and my husband to try and the chef encouraged her to choose the zucchini chocolate chip coffee cake. They said this is a favorite amongst all customers. I also purchased a chocolate chip cookie. The chocolate chip cookie was amazing. It's like a brownie texture very heavy and moist and the sea salt on it is the perfect touch...if this is actually healthy then kudos to the chef because it was amazing. The zucchini coffee cake however was extremely dry and we took one bite and threw it away because it was not good at all. I was pretty disappointed that I even asked them which item to recommend because they picked what was the most boring item to look at and in my opinion probably the worst tasting baked item I've ever had in my life. Maybe if I soaked it in milk for like 5 minutes but the fact that it looks like a bran muffin is already off putting enough. I took pictures of some of the other treats in the case that I probably should have ordered because they looked way more appetizing and I went with my gut on the cookie and that ended up being great.

It’s *really* pretty. Everything about it, the food, the ambiance the view to the street. And the service is some of the best I’ve had, genuinely charming and attentive to our needs, quite able to advise on the tea menu. Their gluten free options, meanwhile, are excellent. Only trouble is the that the food, while quite elegant, doesn’t taste all that good. The sandwiches are mostly kind of boring, and the macaroons were so sweet I spat into my empty teacup rather than swallow the concoction. The soup was pretty good, but more “tasty” than delicious. We both got the $48 high tea, the name of which eludes me, so maybe other dishes taste better, but my guess is that the overall experience is so good that they’re busy enough not to care much their food is mediocre.
