Comments: If you’ve been to Tous les Jours, this is like that, but with more expansive food options. Shares a similar bright, modern aesthetic. There's a good amount of seating inside, with more outside.

If you're going here to study or work, go early. It gets pretty busy nearly every day of the week. On weekends, it's packed. Families galore, line out the door sometimes. All of them enjoying the space, chatting. It's undoubtedly become a third place for this part of town.

However, despite the busyness, I've been here on a Sunday afternoon and still found a spot to plop down. There are a few really small tables clearly meant for 1-2 people you can hog free of guilt even when its packed. Also totally unrelated, but the metal chairs they have here are heavy and seem to be of a higher quality than the average metal chair you get from coffee shops and cafes.

The Wi-Fi is fast and free, there's a sign to the left of the checkout counter with the password. There are around 3-4 spots you can sit with outlet access, so not great, but not terrible. They have hot tea as well as other standard coffee shop drinks. The pastries are all fine. Nothing as transcendent as a cinnamon roll, but plenty of good stuff.
