Gift Tips
- Try the honey sea salt bagel for a sweet-salty breakfast treat that pairs well with drip coffee.
- Order the matcha latte (soy milk available) if you want a creamy, lightly sweet option with steady flavor.
- Give the Vietnamese iced coffee as a bold pick-me-up — it’s a popular, strong choice for cold caffeine lovers.
- Pick the Joplin or Pallet sandwich if you want a hearty, well-balanced lunch; their focaccia bread gets frequent praise.
- Buy tokens at the register if you plan to use the vintage photo booth so you don’t need to wait in line twice.
