  • Morning Breakfast Rolls & Specialty Coffee

    From morning egg rolls to sausage bagels paired with specialty coffee, the counter offers a reliable, grab-and-go start to the morning.

    This egg roll is in my top 3 breakfasts of 2023 so far. The oat flat white is perfect too.

  • Playful 90s Nostalgia Theme

    A playful Happy Gilmore cinematic concept and upside-down signage inject upbeat 90s nostalgia into the neighborhood cafe experience.

    On top of all this, it's Happy Gilmore themed, and (let's be serious) 90's nostalgia makes everything better!
