The verdict/Worth the line·Bustling·Locals + tourists

A cozy, high-energy spot that's genuinely good for a quick, high-quality caffeine fix and those waffled croissant-wiches that are a total game-changer. The staff, especially Dana, makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit, which is a great counterbalance to the tight space and the inevitable line. If you're looking for a quiet place to linger over a book or a spacious lounge, this isn't it—it's a high-turnover, take-out focused vibe that's worth the wait.
