Andy Wang: Love this super homey Japanese restaurant. Super friendly staff and the poke bowl is out of this world. Get the bowl with soba noodles for something amazing. Valet parking is free

Kd: Cozy Venue, saw Keane and BNL here.

Sheba Family: Latte is amazing. Love the cozy shared table style. Go and be sociable :-)
Cherith Zanghi: Poor layout, good service. Decor is halfass industrial/preschool? Anyway, food is pretty good, it is homey. Pasta is fresh handmade 👍🏼 Can't get over how awkward the seating is. I'm facing a wall
Kaitlin Yapchaian: So cozy with lovely, relaxed staff. The peach, tomato and burrata salad was exceptional (at the beginning of September). Must get!
Kat 🐱: Beautiful and cozy interior. Great coffee.
Michael Downer: Great coffee, great service! My favorite coffee shop in the quarter.
Emily Hummel: Bit tricky to find, but tucked in the new Platform shopping center. An interesting space upstairs (rumor is it'll be a bookstore?) that has poufs and small tables. Not a lot of tables / space to work
