5 stars! I wasn’t expecting much from a breakfast sandwich but it was so good. I definitely recommend it. I also enjoyed my chai latte, which was recommended by Julianna. I’m not much of a coffee drinker but it was also great!

“I stopped on in after seeing this place on Instagram.”

I stopped on in after seeing this place on Instagram. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the barista/cashier Who helps me pick out my breakfast items based on her personal favorites. Thank you Juliana !! Worth coming back whenever I’m in the neighborhood.

“The chai donut and ube cookie were tasty.”

The chai donut and ube cookie were tasty. I didn’t care for the other two. The breakfast sandwich was also good.

“They have the best staff as a whole customer service top-tier.”

They have the best staff as a whole customer service top-tier. The thicc Sando breakfast sandwich has entered towards the top of my list. I am pleasantly surprised, but the sweet potato latte get it iced for the cold foam layer on top…very very crowded. The line move fast and workers working like a well oil machine. They were restocking the donuts while I was waiting. That’s what I love to see .This is my first time coming here, but it will not be my last..

“Omg these pastries were amazing.”

Omg these pastries were amazing. Huge servings for a great price honestly! My favs were the turon cookie and food for the god bar. Honorable mention to the kujol cookie and pumpkin bibingka. I want to come back to try more of the donuts and the drinks! They run out of the donuts closer to the afternoon so go early!

We ordered the breakfast Sando, some pastries (the one with cheese on top), and two of their special iced latte (Kaaju & Lilac Latte). Everything was great but I have to say the coffees stole the show for us. They do have small benches outside making it possible to walk with our dog and enjoy the food outside. We’ll be back!

“Overall it was great and I would go again.”

Overall it was great and I would go again. We went on a Friday morning and there was no wait, granted it did start to get busy at noon. The positives were the pastries and the sandwich. The ube cookie was fantastic and the pandan donut was great as it wasn't too sweet and the right amount of cream. The sandwich was on par with Kasama's and just below Boonies. The drinks were also very well done. The room for improvement was for the dosa as it was very limp/soggy and would have been easier eating with a fork. They didn't have the bowl, but we will go back to try that as it sounded excellent. Lastly, the club music was loud and not necessary.

“I love the Indian Filo fusion.”

I love the Indian Filo fusion! The staff were friendly and the pastries were great. The ensaymada donut is a cool twist and definitely reminded me of an ensaymada. I tried the chai latte and I’m not sure if this is how it’s supposed to taste like but it was very milky. I thought it would taste more tea.
