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!
