Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
Saint Espresso is like that cozy café you keep wanting to tell your mates about, but you don’t want them to crowd your secret spot. The coffee here has 5-star hygiene and the baristas treat you better than your last relationship. You walk in for a quick caffeine fix, and they hand you leftover pastries like you're their best mate. Shoutout to the staff for having a heart and knowing when to dish out the sweets.
The star of the show is definitely the cinnamon rolls that are softer than your excuses for not going to the gym. But the coffee? Well, that’s where things go a bit lukewarm. If you can tolerate the wait in the line (cough, 40 minutes for a roll), you’ll be rewarded. Just don't expect the coffee to be anything to write home about. It’s great for a chill spot by the canal, but maybe grab your coffee elsewhere.
"the barista was so kind to give us two bags of pastries leftover from the day."
"Cinnamon roll is absolutely superb, so soft, slightly warm."
"The space is modern, bright, and comfortable."
