Large gastro pup with great selection of beers and American pup food. Their happy hour on the weekdays is an amazing deal and even without happy hour prices, everything is reasonable and worth every penny (and calorie lol). They also have different themed nights, as well as games you can borrow from the bar and play while you drink.

How could you go wrong with fresh baked pastries and yummy coffee? I will give their croissant breakfast sandwich a solid 4.5 stars - homemade croissant, bacon, egg, and cheese. They had to use shredded Swiss because they were out of regular but still delicious! This cafe has great potential and I would def come again. Cute decor, kind people, nice selection of pastries and coffees. Even a cold case of spindrift and dr brew kombucha.
