Head to Origin if you want dreamy food with an adventurous atmosphere.
Nothing makes subject matter jurisdiction go over smoother than a cup of joe, so I sought out to find myself one on this crisp and sunny Friday.
When I arrived, I parked on the street next to it because there is a lot of 2 hour parking. Walking in I immediately noticed that it was slightly cold because there was an outdoor window to pick up orders. Nevertheless, you could also order inside (some contactless ordering).
The menu included hot food, and pastries (croissants, milk cake, chocolate cake and carrot cake). It also had all types of espresso, coffee, frappes, matcha, hot tea, and syrups.
I ordered a black coffee that was smooth, light, slightly above average and came in a mug. With it, I also ordered a “coffee milk cake.” It was a dreamy, tiramisu like dessert. That is to say, it is a wet cake with a layer of coffee infused cream and topped with cocoa. The ordering experience was great because they have smiley, nice baristas.
After returning from heaven after eating this dessert, I worked on my law reading for a while. I sat at one of the large tables lining the walls, but there are some in the middle as well. It is not a bad place to study with wifi, outlets and many people studying, but the music playing did have words.
