We didn't have any food just coffee. I really like how they have indoor seating but also another enclosure that is right against the sidewalk so great for people watching. The coffee was good and a decent price. Nice woman behind the counter. She was helpful with some questions o had. Nice place to chill for a bit. - wendy case
