First time stopping in even though I've been in the neighborhood for a year. Pleasantly surprised at all of the options. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese, a croissant and a mini banana bread loaf. Everything was delicious and the cashiers were very nice. I will definitely be back.
This is a great place to have in El Barrio. Located two avenue blocks away from my job, it's a great spot to grab a chai and salad whenever I need an escape from teacher work room sugary snacks. The chai is a pre-made concoction that contains too much sugar & not enough chai but it's definitely the best (if not only) chai in the neighborhood.
The salad I had here (Cobb) was pretty phenomenal. It had actual bacon (rather than sad bacon bits), real slices of avocado (so real that the guy making it camouflaged a piece of the avocado skin in my salad blending perfectly well with the lettuce hence -1 star), mostly fresh lettuce, hard boiled egg, grilled chicken (tasty & seasoned), and a generous amount of blue cheese. Served up with a light vinaigrette. Overall I was super pleased with this salad considering I've paid the same elsewhere for a far worse salad.
Their croissants (& other breakfast pastries) tend to be on the greasy side. Sometimes I grab one of their croissants at Uptown Roasters, a freshly roasted coffee cafe I frequent in the mornings. A decent croissant but nothing to drool over.
This cafe deserves a solid 3/4 stars for being the only one like it in this hood and although their prices are a bit high for this neighborhood they do offer MUCH better quality than the standard corner bodega you're likely to see around here.
