They also have a little space for parking. • Customer service, everyone is nice and approachable. Very professional but not intimidating. • Coffee & Pastries, kinda bit pricy but who cares when ir comes to coffee and tiramisu?? 😮💨 But trust me, they really served delicious coffee 😚 Would love to go back again when I crave tiramisu 😄 #localfood #couplestrip #afternoonteatime
