Another cafe spot to study with free wifi. I like how it sits inside a library. Metered parking above and below. Staff were excellent. Food was delicious. Not much inside seating where Prologue is at but you have the library as your other option. A family friend told me about this place and wow the flavors are amazing. Personally I like the egg and ube coffee. The dubai chocolate coffee I got was a great combination. I never tasted dubai chocolate but there drink gave me a tasty hint. There avocado toast is good! I would definitely be back to try other items.
