"Open Mike" (Saturday night) is extremely refreshing! The people performing are unique and entertaining! The crowd is encouraging and interactive. I am planning on going back!

This was my second time being here. Food and drinks were great. Atmosphere was a little busy, however on my first visit it was on the slower side. Cozy place to visit.

A cute little cafe that has delicious treats and a lovely little artisan/gift gallery!

If you’re considering a stop at this "community arts coffee shop," you might want to think twice. While the idea of supporting a local, artsy establishment sounds great in theory, the execution here leaves much to be desired. The prices are steep—expect to pay Starbucks-level prices for coffee, but without the consistency you'd get at a chain.

The drinks are wildly inconsistent. I've ordered the same latte multiple times and gotten a different drink each time. There’s no standard recipe being followed, and it’s frustrating to pay a premium only to end up with a subpar drink. At least at Starbucks, you know what you’re getting, but here, it’s a gamble.

To make matters worse, the shop is run by volunteers, which might sound charming, but it leads to a lack of professionalism. The food isn’t fresh, and it’s obvious. They even made a decision to stop offering large lattes, which makes no sense to me.

If you’re into the idea of supporting the arts, there might be better ways to do it than overpaying for an inconsistent coffee experience.

A really solid community cafe that runs on volunteers and really supports the community on 118th! It's nice to see people taking pride in their community. Great place to read, chill with friends or enjoy live music

Stopped here for a coffee and to do some work on my laptop before I had an appointment in the area. I had never noticed this lovely Cafe before and I'm so glad I decided to go. Staff were very helpful and friendly, and the iced latte I ordered was perfect. Everyone who walked in the doors while I was there was greeted and usually familiar to the staff. I admired the unique decor around the cafe as well as the local art gallery hanging along the walls! I will be returning!

Was working on a book cover project, I guess the artistic atmosphere + the hot chocolate gave me a boost in creative juices ? will come back again
