Cafeina Cafe

Coffee shop

👍👍 A coffee shop finds its way into my heart through their oat milk lattes. Cafeina Café was a pleasant surprise with their well made lattes. Their space was comforting and back patio was spacious with lots of sunlight. This will be one of my new favorite places to sit and work out from

Gran Havana Cigar & Hookah Lounge

Cigar shop

👍👍 The sell only their own blends, but they have a wide selection for all cigar preferences. I smoked their Corona Natural, and thoroughly enjoyed it. They also market themselves as a coffee and gelato dessert place, even though the cigars take precedence. All in all, perfect just to chill on business...

Figaro Dessert Cafe

Dessert shop

😠 Do not get the cakes. The worst dessert ever. The cakes were previously frozen. Cake itself was dry. The cream had film on it. The only positive thing about the dessert was that it wasn’t too sweet. Each cake was $9 for a tiny cake. Hard pass never go here and save yourself some money
