It's my favorite cafe, and the sandwiches are really good👍 The staff members are always kind and working hard. It's cool. I liked the song selection at the store, so I remember dancing and eating it. I can't go there often because it's far away, but if I have time, I want to go and enjoy😋 instagram @rinda.space

I had the pepper salami baguette and enjoyed it :) The filling is quite generous and portion is very fair for the pricing. Ambience was cozy from the warm lighting and trailing plants everywhere, would definitely visit again to try other baguettes on their menu

We had a lovely experience stopping by Finch’s for lunch. It was our first time there so we asked for recommendations and the staff took the time to share what’s on the menu. I got the Pear sandwich with with regular brie and my friend got the baked blue brie sandwich. Both were delicious. The cafe is really cozy and cute. We’ll be back!

Cool rustic vibe and genuinely one of the best sandwiches I have had in my life…. Come to think of it, it may be number 1! Fresh ingredients, perfect bread. Loved it. You should drop what you are doing now and go get a sandwich.

Really amazing baguettes. Lovely ambience, hipster cafe. A really nice place to sit down and chill, have lunch, have a cup of coffee or tea. Whether is it a meal with friends or a meal alone, it is a really lovely place, love the aesthetic. I got the pear, walnut, blue brie, prosciutto baguette and it is one of the best sandwich I have gotten in my life. Definitely would come again.

I would definitely love to go back here. The food is 💯. Except for the service. They forgot to make my hot chocolate. My food finished on time, I was not eating it until my drink arrives so I can take a picture. This is my first time here. The food is totally amazing and delicious. Very flavourful.

#2 Love! #1 Fresh ingredients, amazing combinations of flavors, and lovely vibe. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the city. The space has limited seating capacity so be ready for a bit of wait specially around lunchtime.

As you can tell I like to eat out a lot and I'm not a huge fan of sandwiches but this place is by far the best sandwich joint downtown so don't let the name fool you as they don't just serve tea & coffee. As it's a small, cozy place that offers vegan options, everything is freshly made and organic. I've tried quite a few of their sandwiches but my favorite hands down is their baked blue brie. I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese so they can substitute it with regular brie. The staff are all friendly and welcoming and every time I've ordered, I've always left satisfied. Parking can be hard to find so you might need to park a couple blocks away. As they can get very busy, make sure you aren't in a rush or call in to order in advance. I highly recommend coming and checking them out if you haven't already. And if you have, let me know which sandwich you liked the most?

During my school days, Finch's was a top recommendation from many classmates for their sandwiches. The moment I entered the restaurant, the vintage decor immediately caught my eye. While I'm no expert in photography or film, I believe Finch's would be an excellent location for a shoot given its beautiful design. The welcoming staff further enhanced my experience. As for the sandwich, after just one bite, I understood why Finch's sandwiches are acclaimed. The crispy exterior, paired with the soft, pillowy interior of the baguette and the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients, truly sets their sandwiches apart. It has remained my favorite sandwich spot ever since!

I love you a LATTE!! Best! We kept going back each morning of our stay. Get there before 11:30 because the local workers come in droves and cause a line out the door!

Came here on a recommendation from Donny at Old Faithful! He told us they would not disappoint and he was so right! The exterior looks like you could be walking into a little European Coffee Shop. Their sandwich menu was developed with a great knowledge of delicious flavour profiles in mind! To start I love a sandwich on a good quality baguette...I had the Brie and Raspberry with the addition of prosciutto. So so good! The raspberry preserves they use are bursting with flavour and freshness! Next time you are in the mood for a really delicious sandwich do yourself a little favour and indulge in one of these. You will be glad you did! They also have some nice bevy's, we took ours to go and had a little picnic at the park.

Hello London Fog, where have u been all of my life? Great spot to snuggle upto a good book during rain season. Also, my goal is to try every pastry offering!

Best sandwich place for any meal. Their sandwiches are freshly made with lots of simple ingredients that can be easily turn into a vegetarian sandwich like applewood smoked cheddar, blue brie, fruits and so on. My favourite one is the Pear sandwich with blue brie and prosciutto. The sweetness of the pear goes really well with the creamy of brie. Another choice I would suggest is the brie & grape. Oh and you can turn your sandwich into a salad and skip the bread. The price is a bit higher than an average sandwich place but considering the freshness , it worths the price! If you are in a hurry, order through phone and pick up when you come, save a lot of time!

Cozy feeling and delectable sandwiches. Drove in to Vancouver from WA and we were starved. Looked up a little local review blog and they recommended this as a must have. Glad I took their suggestion. Service was spectacular from the attentive and oh so friendly staff. The food was phenomenal! Had some revised menu items for the kids and the wife and I took up with the sandwiches in the photos. - fresh baked bread. - fresh French Brie It was a perfect light lunch. I highly recommend stopping for a tasty and original sandwich. The parking is fairly easy a block or two up and the neighborhood is improving but still a little dicey at times.

I wish we had something like this where I lived. Beautiful spot. A lovely vibe with friendly staff and fantastic coffee. The lunch sandwiches are good but shined the most was the interesting breakfast sandwich they do.

I came by here to pick up a London Fog after work. It is a cute cafe with seating located around the perimeter to ensure physical distancing inside. The staff were very friendly. I'm also a big fan of their to go cups which are perfect for hot drinks as it insulated my drinks while ensuring it wasn't too hot to hold. They also had a whole menu of food items that I would be interested in trying next time I'm in the neighborhood.

This is a super cute cafe, home to many locals in the area. Their specialty is super simple, super delicious, organic ingredients. FOOD-- Warm Brie cheese plate - the cheese is warm, comes with super cold grapes and nicely sliced whole pear. Fruits were sweet and the cold was a nice contrast with the warm cheese. They also slice and lightly butter baguette for you. It was warm and crispy! Great to share (or not!) would order again. Simple egg, avocado, toast plate - the eggs were bright orange, that's how fresh they were! Really simple, really good. Iced coffee - hit the spot SERVICE-- staff is nice. Quick. AMBIANCE-- Casual. No AC. Small groups better. I'd be back!

So Mr. Hubby still gives the sandwiches here five stars. This was the first stop he wanted to go to on our return trip to Vancouver. I found the sandwich is tasty, but I think I have dropped my rating down to four stars. It's still a solid place to get a vegetarian sandwich that looks beautiful. It just wasn't as tasty as other sandwiches I prefer more.

Kate M.

Yelp
I'm gonna get straight to it, these sandos are great and my fave is the pear, Gorgonzola and prosciutto. The bread is always fresh and the toppings always plentiful! Love that they wrap all their sandos in recyclable paper and rope as well. It's not the most clean sandwich to eat Infront of people but if you're all doing it, who cares ha! I've never been disappointed by the sandos here. Where Finch's falls short is service and consistently. Whenever I've ordered, at least one order is wrong when in a group if not more. I've been to Finch's probably over 10 times now and I've noticed this is a common occurrence which is a shame. The orders have also been extremely slow to come out as well and we've waited quite some time to get a few sandwich orders completed. Make sure if you go to finch's you have a good amount of time/work break. Also I'm so choked that they changed their cookie recipe. They used to be this beautiful brown butter moist delicious chewy heavenly chocolate chip cookie and now they're dry and too floured and thick. I'd really love to rally for the old cookies to make a come back! Please Finch's they were so much better before! Overall if you want a delicious sandwich, this is your spot, just double check the order.

I just ordered through Door Dash the most delicious sandwiches I have ever tasted in my life since I am staying at a hotel and it is snowing out. They are made from European receipes and I have not been there but it an old world charming place. This is a very special place and I recommend you try it for their sandwiches healthy salads, soup and desserts. I just ordered the creamy brie, olives and toasted walnuts on a freshly baked perfect baguette!! My order consisted of five different sandwiches including Applewood Smoked Cheddar Baguette, Pear, blue brie, prosciutto, roasted walnuts, balsamic vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil. Prosciutto Baguette with Edam, tomatoes, lettuce, and oil and vinegar. Free Range Egg Salad Baguette, and the Edam Baguette. They are perfectly wrapped as if you were in Europe with brown paper and straw bow. Thank you to them for creating such a special place I hope to go in person since I live outside of the country.

A cute and cozy little corner café in a heritage building in residential Strathcona. Great hot beverages with choices of soy, almond or oat milk. Chai Tea lattes are made with a mix from Granville Island (the best I've had). A small but pleasing selection of sandwiches and breakfast with vegan options. I had the vegan veggie sandwich on whole wheat bread, it was filling and well flavoured. My catch up partner had the pear and prosciutto which she says is her favourite sandwich of all time. Limited seating, I imagine it is crowded on weekends but mid-week morning it was pleasant with only 3/6 of the tables being used - perfect for a good catch up chat. Homey heritage/antique style interior. Look forward to hanging out here again one day soon. This is a Vancouver gem.

We came by for a fancy pants lunch and were pleasantly surprised at how filling it was! The cappuccinos were wonderful - definitely one of the best I've had. The sandwich took quite awhile to come out, but that gave us plenty of time to enjoy our coffee and some complimentary cucumber/lemon water. We also really enjoyed the interior space. The sandwich itself was awesome, with a great balance of light flavors and high-quality ingredients. The only caveat was the seating. There are a couple large tables in the center with some smaller tables around the edges, but when we first arrived, all tables were taken up, many by single customers sitting alone or every-other-seat at the larger tables. We would have gladly sat at the same table as some other customers, but there wasn't anywhere we could be next to each other. I would recommend that the staff suggest to customers to sit next to each other when it's crowded or that they consider reconfiguring the seating arrangements. Fortunately a spot opened up before we got our food, though, and the joint cleared out and became more breathable into the afternoon. Tl;dr: Come off-peak. Invest in the fancy pants drinks. Don't be afraid to sit next to strangers. Enjoy a nice sandwich.

Their sandwiches are like no other. The interior is cozy, and has a British feel to it. If you're in the mood for a sandwich, then this is definitely the place to go to.

AMAZING BAGUETTES. My personal favourite is the Pear baguette with pears, walnuts, brie, and prosciutto. It seemed to me like an odd combination but it works SO WELL. I also got the steamed soy milk with maple syrup to go with it (since I also thought that was an odd combination). The drink was ok since I wasn't a huge fan of soy milk originally but if you are, this might be your drink! They make the baguettes to order and they do it quite fast so there wasn't too long of a wait even with the huge line. The store is really cute with all the vintage aesthetics. And I really enjoy sitting at the window tables where the glass extends from the floor to ceiling. Highly recommend stopping here for some brunch or a nice little cafe date!

This is a great spot to stop by for a quick bite if you're in the area. The sandwiches and salads here are made with very simple and fresh ingredients ! I don't know how they make it so tasty and "pretty " at the same time! Give it a try , you definitely won't regret it! My personal favourite is the prosciutto baguette !!

Adam C.

Yelp
Mom and I went in for a light meal since we happened to be in the area and remembered how delicious those baguettes were last time we ate here and I can honestly say they did not disappoint! I bought The Continental while mom went with the Blue Brie Salad. Presentation was beautiful, food was incredible, baguette was phenomenal. I said it before and I'll say it again, if you're looking for a quality baguette, eat here!!

My first time trying baguette. It was great experience! The fresh pear with salami was new to me, plus cheese and walnut! Healthy eats as quick lunch The vintage shop is lovely too! Love to spend sometime here.

Soooooooo much better than Meat and Bread. Just found this place on Yelp while we were driving around looking for a sandwich shop. We gobbled down a sandwich before even getting home. Simple ingredients that just work together perfectly

Stumbled in here by accident one day while walking to find Starbucks. Hipster decor and salami sandwiches just like mom used to make them. Neat window seats and cute decor. Cucumber water to boot.

Lindsey F.

Yelp
the worst customer service. My order of $60 on Uber Eats was completely wrong on all of the food and I was given option to "come and pick up my couple of dollars" if I wanted. The order was more off than I had realized once my co worker opened her sandwich. 3/3 were a miss. The person I spoke to on the phone talked in circles and ultimately denied their mess ups aside from "the missing $2 egg" Ive supported this place for a decade and never would have expected service like this.

Valentina B.

Yelp
I've gone twice, first time I had a misto with oat milk and the blue Brie baguette with raspberry jam. I'd never had blue Brie before, but it blew my mind!!! Absolutely delicious and the staff is incredibly helpful and sweet all around! Second time I had a London fog and settled in to read. The interior is just my favourite and the atmosphere really encourages you to slow down and just enjoy a bit of time to yourself. Love it there.

Sharon F.

Yelp
I've been to Finch's many times and I've gotten the same thing each time. The pear Brie walnut prosciutto baguette is my favourite and I'm still not sick of it. Its absolute perfection and occasionally I'll get their soup. Finch is also really pretty in the inside, perfect for Instagram photos and catching up with people. They do take out since it gets really busy during lunch hours.

What's the perfect coffee shop? If you ask 100 people this question, you will get 100 different answers. Some like Starbucks because they are consistent and no matter where you are you can expect your grande non fat latte to taste exactly the same in Redwood City as it does in Kyoto. Others prefer Peets for the exact same and that it isn't Starbucks.Then there is that particular bunch who seek out independent coffee houses that are one of kind. Finch's Coffee House was built for those particular coffee drinkers. More than a coffee house, this place actually has food. Sandwiches mainly and caters to the downtown caffeine junkies that need a mid morning kick in the ASS. The vibe is relaxed, cool, eclectic hip, yet relaxed. I loved Finch's. So if I loved it so much why did not award it the coved 5 star rating? For one it opens late. As in 9:00 in the morning late ,and second, in this day and age wifi should be available everywhere. Especially a coffee house situated in a major city. I must stress I did enjoy my visit to Finch's, and will definitely be back again.

It's lunchtime as I write this review, and I only wish I could head over to Finch's for one of their glorious sandwiches or salads right about now. I visited Finch's during my last visit to Vancouver at the recommendation of Jody B, and I'm still thinking about what a delicious meal we had there. There were three of us and we shared a warm brie cheese plate to start and then we each got our own sandwich or salad. Finch's is all about quality. Every ingredient on the menu is colorful, flavorful, fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is comfortable and kind of old school. I heard there are lines if you go right during the noon time lunch hour, but we dined a bit later and missed the crazy time. It was perfect and I highly recommend doing the same if you're considering a "lovely ladies lunch" like the one I had... of course men are welcome too!

One of the if not the best baguette I've had in Vancouver. My go-to is always the Pepper Salami. I usually add Applewood Smoked Cheddar to it. You'll want to eat a second one right after.

Great tasting sandwiches and long menu of teas to try. Love the vibe and the people here. Wish I lived closer to come more often

Pear baguette with blue Brie is awesome, and I really enjoyed the egg sandwich, too. They beautifully wrapped the first one to go, and we ate the egg sandwich there. I wasn't super into the vibe but I'm sure the homey/antique layout appeals to most. Reasonable prices and friendly employees!

I really liked what they've done to the place - it's not often I find myself lost in the moment, and that's what happened as I was sitting at one of their wooden tables, staring out the window whilst sipping a big mug of their *spicy* ginger apple cider. I really enjoyed the cider, but be forewarned that it's actually quite spicy - my partner wasn't expecting it and he ended up coughing for a good 30 seconds after his first taste. But he loved it! My partner had the Pepper Salami, which he enjoyed quite a bit also. I had some of the salami and the name definitely makes sense - it's peppery and delicious. According to my partner, the baguette tasted fresh as well. One thing that he did struggle with was the salami falling out as he ate - the way they assembled the sandwich is pretty, but not very practical. We're glad we decided to come by to check the place out, and if there was one thing I can think of that would be nice to see improved is the friendliness of the service. It wasn't rude at all, but just a bit too cold for me. The cashier barely said anything to me, kind of made me feel like I shouldn't be there? Despite that, I'd love to come back for a tea and a snack soon on a rainy day!

Hanna K.

Yelp
One of the best sandwiches I've ever had! My partner got the black pepper salami sandwich and I got the pear, walnut, Brie sandwich. They were both really good, I would definitely add avocado to the black pepper salami though. The soy earl grey latte was delicious as well!

Yvonne L.

Yelp
I am absolutely obsessed with this place. I love the rustic and cozy decor, but not as much as I love their Pear Baguette (aka my favourite sandwich in the world!) I was in the neighbourhood and decided to stop by and pick up some lunch for later. I got to Finch's around 11am and luckily they weren't too busy yet. In an attempt to be healthy, I ordered their house salad with prosciutto, which has the same ingredients as the Pear Baguette. It was (almost) too pretty to eat! I'm happy to report that it tastes exactly like their Pear Baguette, just in salad form. TLDR; Get their Pear Baguette, or their House Salad with prosciutto if you're looking for a carb free option.

Yelp
After reading all the great review.. I had to try this place. My girlfriend and came early, right when it opened. No one was there except the two workers and us. Which was great. The smell and look of the fresh baked cookies already tempt me to skip breakfast and go straight for the sweets. But I didn't.. I ordered a regular latte and the regular breakfast it was reasonably priced, came with 2 boiled eggs, brown toast, tomatoes, options were avocado or prosciutto, I like meat so I went with prosciutto. It was a good breakfast! We had to try the cookies! I'm glad we it was chewy and fresh. Good way to end the meal. Need to come back to try the baguette sandwich.

Lana H.

Yelp
This cafe is adorable! We arrived around 9:30am on a Tuesday and were able to get a nice seat. The salads and sandwiches were very tasty. Loved the breakfast sandwich. Staff was lovely. Definitely got busy during lunch time. Cookies could have used more chocolate chips.

Hollie T.

Yelp
SO GOOD! I come back with friends all the time! Definitely reccomend trying their Vegetarian baguette and Pear/Brie baguette. It's amazing! The ingredients used in their sandwiches are simple and fresh! The interior design is cozy but it's a small place so finding a seat could be hard during busy times.

Their pear baguette - chef's kiss! Can't find that blue brie anywhere! Looking forward to the next trip to Finch's!

Daniella J.

Yelp
This is probably my favorite coffee shop ever! The sandwiches are delicious. I highly recommend the pear sandwich, it's one of the best sandwiches I've ever had!The location is great! Its a few minutes walk from Waterfront station and Cartems Donuts is nearby which is a great place to go afterward. The inside is quite small which provides an intimate feel. This also makes it difficult to find a table, and most tables are shared (aka large long tables). If you're looking for a place to study, I don't think this is the place to go. But for coffee with friends, I think it's an ideal choice! Bottom line: If you are looking for an aesthetically pleasing coffee house with good food I would recommend it.

Finch's has redeemed itself BIG TIME. I had their Pear Brie Prosciutto Baguette sandwich. Have you ever put heaven in your mouth? It's THAT GOOD. The servers were on point this time, although they could still improve their professionalism.

This is an excellent place for a delicious and filling French baguette sandwich. The atmosphere is gorgeous and inviting and the people behind the counter are they types you always hope would be making your food. Friendly, clean and caring. I can't go on enough about the food though- the salads are incredible.

Yelp
If you crave thick cuts of top tier cheese delivered to your mouth by a beautifully baked baguette, get a sandwich from Finch's! These are not your average subs! Expect a line up attesting to its popularity when ordering at the counter, or plan ahead and call your order in advance for pick up. Not sure what to try first? Peep the pics for proof. Everything is excellent!

My friends and I went to Finch's Tea & Coffee House for brunch on Saturday morning. I always want to try this coffee house out before.I was so excited that I had a chance to try it. Finch's Tea & Coffee House opened at 11 am on Saturday. The location of the coffee house is near to ChinaTown Skytrain Station. We were there 5 mins before 11 am, there were lots of people waiting outside already. Three of us tried different baguettes. I bought Pear Baguette (Pear, prosciutto, blue brie, roasted walnuts, extra virgin olive oil & balsamic vinegar), my friends got Brie & Rasberry Jam (Warm brie & rasberry jam on a toasted baguette), and Applewood Smoked Cheddar Baguette (Applewood smoked cheddar, tomato, cucumber, red leaf lettuce, extra virgin olive oil & balsamic vinegar or dijon mayo). Luckily, I got a chance to taste all three different baguettes. They were all soft and tasted very fresh. Pear Baguette is my favorite one. Applewood Smoked Cheddar Baguette is healthier one. Each of baguette had different ingredients and made artfully. The space is very small, and interior design of the store is single and cute. Some of minus things about it: all the sandwiches are a bit of over priced. If you want to study or work on your project there, it may be not a good place for you. Other than that, Finch's Tea & Coffee House, You definitely have a try and go back anytime!!!

I was a bit tight on time so I called in for my order. The quoted a 15 min prep time which is pretty accurate since it took me 12 mins or so to get there and a few mins of waiting in line. My sandwich was ready once I stepped up to the till. I noticed they had Kombucha in a bottle so I got the blueberry green tea flavour. I had the pear baguette and it was really good. I was worried the bread would be too hard as I read that in some of the reviews. But to my surprise the bread was uber soft. Though...I won't call this a baguette since the entire bread was soft and a baguette should have a crispy out layer. This was my first time having kombucha in a bottle and it tastes different from the tap. I'd say it's an acquired taste. I don't necessarily hate or like it. But if you told me it's non-alcoholic flavoured beer, I'd probably believe you.

Colene C.

Yelp
One of my fave lunch places in the city. I can't believe I haven't written a review for Finch's yet. This is not just any old sandwich place. This is THE sandwich place. Think of the best ingredients -- ripe avocado, buttery soft brie, crisp greens, salty prosciutto -- all piled artfully on a soft baguette. And when I say artfully, I mean it. You know how subway dubs their employees "sandwich artists"? That moniker should be bestowed upon the talented folks at Finch's. I've never had a sandwich that didn't look like a work of art. The space is also really charming and the platform tables by the window are my favourite spots. But, be warned, it's a busy place and seating can be hard to come by. Pro-tip: Call ahead to place your order to save some time. You'll still need to line up, but at least you'll get your sandwich right away, neatly wrapped in butcher paper and twine.

Simple, interesting, and comforting. Finch's Tea & Coffee House has creaky floors, cozy decor, and a brilliantly simple menu of baguette sandwiches. The focus here is on quality, flavour, and aesthetic. Try the Pear, Proscuitto, and Blue Brie baguette - the presentation is wonderful and makes you feel as though they really care about your sandwich experience. Finch's serves espresso and a wide range of teas. I had a cappuccino that was excellent. Service was friendly and efficient, and food was brought to our table. Hints: 1. Ask for oil/vinegar on the sandwich instead of mayo! 2. Aim for the cute window seats, which make you think about the history of this place: formerly McLeod's Book, and previous to that a communist bookstore "The People's Coop Bookstore". Unsure what it was before that... http://teensleuth.com/hauntedlibrary/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/book.jpg http://41.media.tumblr.com/63249ee85a22f9c9801025d9ee940bf6/tumblr_njzfvirLas1qg2xvoo1_1280.jpg

I dream about the pear, blue brie, prosciutto and roasted walnuts baguette! I can't describe in words how amazing it is. Normally I'm not a fan of sweet and savory foods, but the sweetness of the pear, creamy melt-in-your-mouth goodness of the brie, and saltiness of the prosciutto is perfection. If you want to eat in, come before or after the lunch rush otherwise you may have to wait awhile. It's worth the wait though, I promise!

Really enjoy my time at Finch yesterday. Down to earth, cozy and relaxing space in Van. My packed to go baguette was amazing. The staff was attentive to detail and request :) It is now becoming one of my favorite spot in Van. Will definitely go back

Whenever i go downtown , i prefer trying a new place especially if it is vegetarian. I happen to lay my eyes on this antique looking tea - coffee place. It was a hot day in Vancouver but the atmosphere inside the cafe changed my moodi could have ordered cold coffee or any other drink on menu but i didnt. As I was having my lunch with me so i preferred asking the server if i could eat there n drink only tea as my regular regime after my meal. To my delight , she had no issues with that. Looking at tea options , i asked her to order what she liked the most as i had tasted almost all the tea's on the menu (they have different tea selection from green tea , herbal tea , black tea but i am tea lover so i have mostly all at my home ) I dont think anything could b better for me for lunch break. Just me , soft music , my book n warmth of the sun through the glass windows. I liked the fact that they don't have wifi so at least i could see people talking to each other or to the servers n not dig into the phones. I am definitely gonna go back as i have to taste the vegetarian sandwich on menu . Mostly people take away from here. Washrooms r behind the counter . I also liked the fact that u can add sugar(brown /white) , honey , milk , cream on ut own. There is water with glasses on side for self service.!

This place was in my bookmark for a long time but I used to postpone going there just because the location is not so friendly to find a parking spot on weekends, but I finally had a chance to try and I loved this place. It gets quite full during the weekdays at lunch time, but it doesn't seem hard to get a seat. I ordered a delicious Avocado Salad with Prosciutto. The salad also came with a delicious bread with butter. My sister also had same dish as me and she also loved it. Besides that, I love the cozy environment added to a hipster vintage decor. I definitely plan to go back soon to try more of the their menu.
