Good coffee and espresso-based drinks. Quick and efficient service! Their blueberry danish is excellent -- get one of those. I love their stylish interior design, cozy and elegant. The only bad thing is they don't have a restroom.

Honestly, the best coffee in SLU (so far). I ordered salted caramel latte with request to not make it too sweet. And they nailed it. I could taste the notes of their Ethopian espresso. They make every syrup inhouse. The atmosphere is inviting but always crowded - I usually order to go.

The ambience is modern and masculine with elements of warmth in the brown leather seats and many plants on the walls. A chill vibe and they were even playing some of my favorite indie music. The baristas were friendly, professional, and they even delivered my order to my table rather than just calling it out. I tried the breakfast bun with egg, havarti, and arugula. The cheese is a prominent flavor but not overwhelming and bun was light and airy. I love anything with arugula but I would have liked to taste the egg more. I had an 8oz decaf cappuccino with whole milk; the mouth feel was smooth and silky and they did better latte art than I can do. They had a large and unique pastry selection; I tried the kouign amann and though I can’t pronounce it, it was simply scrumptious. Similar to a croissant but with denser, sweeter layers of lighter and more moist pastry with some crispy edges of caramelized sugar. I love to pull things apart with my fingers and this is a perfect pastry for that, though my fingers did end up deliciously sticky. And it was big enough that I saved some for later. I would come back and I’m looking forward to trying more of their pastries.

This place is very cute and quality of coffee and pastries is pretty good! I got the iced kobenhaven latte and a pear danish. Both were very good!

I came here In the morning and was hoping to try their brunch items, But I think the Dexter location doesn’t offer that, it feels more like a grab and go with pastry options spot. I got the strawberry coconut cloud, and I liked it a lot - think of it as Starbucks pink drink with a splash of coffee flavor to it. As for the pastries, my favorite one is definitely the Cruffin croissant Because of how creamy the center vanilla filling is.
