“It seems this spot is quite laid-back compared to your typical Starbucks but with the same feel.”

Stopped in on a friend's recommendation instead of the nearby Starbucks. Ordered a large iced Americano (no cream or sugar) with quick service, plus a small slice of tiramisu cake. Located inside a residential neighborhood, making it a quieter spot to study than a typical Starbucks.
