Absolutely love this cafe!! We have been to this place for 2 days in a row. It’s a small, hidden-gem cafe with excellent coffee. The croissant and pain au chocolat are also great and yummy. I recommend ordering the avocado toast too; it’s cooked so well. Everyone at the coffee shop is so friendly and gives you good…
