Good coffee, they had oat milk options, and friendly server. Feels like this could become a large chain one day. Brazil pastries all looked fresh early in the morning. Worth stopping by for a cup of coffee. Overall good vibe.

We were in the area for a long weekend with kids, and came here for breakfast several times. The menu is quite varied, and food was excellent! My kiddos loved the waffle and omelette, and they also enjoyed their smoothies. Highly recommend for either sitting for breakfast or for a quick stop for coffee.

PROS: tasty lattes, lots of breakfast options, and great service CONS: WIFI didn't work Fortissimo's mocha and caramel lattes were delicious. The espresso was smooth and the flavors were subtle (not overly sweet). I'd definitely recommend trying! The breakfast/lunch menu was more extensive than most coffee places. I got the western omelet and it was great! The aioli + crispy onions were so good and the textures worked well together in the omelet. 4.5/5 stars!
