Known forespresso macchiatoseasonal coffee cakelemon poppy seed muffinchocolate yogurt bread
A beloved neighborhood café in Riverside/Locust Point serving excellent espresso drinks and fresh pastries in a cozy, welcoming space. Order the seasonal coffee cake, lemon poppy seed muffin, chocolate yogurt bread, or gluten-free focaccia alongside their standout coffee. The main caveat: it's small with limited seating, so expect a crowd during peak hours and plan accordingly if you want to linger.
