Monika McMahon: Favorite new LES coffee shop. Friendly staff, lots of seats, laptop friendly & the most amazing bourbon latte. So good I went back for seconds. Not too sweet as it is flavored with vanilla beans.
Gaby: They make the best avocado toast in the neighborhood.
Sarah Brink: Super Great Staff. New in LES. Go check it! Oh, and barber shop out back!
