The Grind (what I would change)
Maybe more food options, but otherwise, not a thing. The calm, supportive energy in this place fully feeds the soul!
Percolation Factor (the activity/environment/energy/service)
- Art classes
- Music performances
- Gorgeous patio (parents can sip a cuppa while watching kiddos in the adjacent playground)
