That jalapeño bagel sandwich

The turkey breakfast sandwich on a jalapeño cheddar bagel is unreal — toasted perfectly and packed. Best breakfast bite in the neighborhood.

Real coffee, real vibe

Great espresso from Vashon Island beans, comfy tables to work at, and a dog-friendly patio. My go-to corner for a latte and a bagel.
