Comments: Small spot inside a larger building that houses other businesses as well. Within its section and the building at large, there’s enough seating to feel reasonably confident of snagging a spot. In the heart of Uptown, so paid parking, but plenty to explore. Worth a trip to Uptown, to check out this spot, but also the multitude of other places in the area.

And per this TikTok post, as well as their menu, they have what are called "Ube cinnamon rolls". I'm something of a cinnamon roll connoisseur, yet this was my first time hearing of such a thing. So, I did some research, and discovered that Ube cinnamon rolls are "a Filipino-inspired twist on the classic American cinnamon roll, characterized by its vibrant purple color and a unique earthy, sweet flavor. " What a splendid thing that is. For cultures around the world to bring their own unique flavors to the beauty that is a cinnamon roll. If you're able to snag one, blessed are you, for you have received a good thing.
