A HIDDEN GEM! I stumbled on this cafe a few weeks ago and got their caramel mocha iced latte and the bacon egg and cheddar on a jalapeño bagel and holy moly! The drink was transcendent and the sandwich delectable! So of course, I HAD to go back.
Today I bought their sandwich The Rebel on the sourdough and a caramel mocha iced latte(no brainer). What a treat! The drink is sweet and strong and the sandwich is so flavorful! I am making this one of my top favorite cafe spots! I’m looking forward to trying their other menu option.
I also had a little more time to chat with the owner Paul. He is amiable, respectful and so pleasant to speak to. It was a pleasure getting to talk to him today. Congratulations on your cafe, Paul! You’re doing great things!!

Great ambiance and truly outstanding bagel sandwiches. They've remodeled in the past year or so, and really changed the feeling in the space (for the better!).
