Cute spot on the water ... busy, but super efficient service ... and probably the best coffee we've had in our almost a month in Las Olas! Their sandwich case showcases some huge sandwiches, while their bakery items are also impressive. Ordering from Erica made...Read More

Me and my girlfriend came in for lunch after scouting several coffee places on Las Olas. The food and drinks were high quality for a reasonable price along with the stunning view of the river. Definitely will be returning.
