Do yourself a favor and make the stop !
Highly recommend ordering the “flight “. This Instagram worthy visually pleasing cafe was delish. Plenty of seating options .

We came by at 3:30, and the door was clearly marked as “open until 7.” We could see several staff members inside watching us try to open the door, but it was locked and they were wiping down tables. No worries in general, things happen, but they could have at least come to the door or put up a sign to explain the early closure. Now I know this place isn’t a reliable option for me to visit for a remote working afternoon.
I used to love this place. I’d come for their gluten free cookies and a chai. I love that it’s female owned.
Today the chai was very watered down and the cookies were not labeled gluten free. I ordered ‘GF cookie’ online and asked the cashier about the cookies. She asked and got me the PB chocolate chip. I’m a bit nervous to eat it to be honest.
I used to rave about this place but unfortunately I’m not sure I’ll be back.

Questionable hygiene..
I recently discovered this place & loved the matcha so much I decided to go two days in a row. On the 2nd day, as I was quietly enjoying my Matcha I see the waitress that was working behind the counter caress a dog with her both hands. She then proceeded to the cash register, put a single glove on one hand and proceeded to package food for a customer. I left immediately - hands should’ve been washed and gloves should’ve been worn on both hands to prevent cross contamination of this dog to a humans food… won’t be coming back.

Came here today with my friend and it was a nice place, cool set up, pretty easy parking. We thought it would be a good place to have lunch and study. When we ordered our drinks and food the cashier wasnt very kind. She interrupted us multiple times while trying to order, asking us questions that we were about to answer if she hadnt spoken over us, didnt seem very friendly, was very monotone. Maybe she was having a bad day but as someone who works in customer service its never exceptable to act a way while at work. Our drinks came out pretty fast, my friend ordered the guerita, on the menu it says to choose your choice of milk and other options to be in it. She chose oatmilk, afterwards she checked her receipt and saw there was a dollar upcharge for it. We were both confused because it doesnt mention anything about different pricing depending on the milk you choose. However we didnt make a big deal of it, her drink tasted good. I ordered the strawberry matcha and added chocolate drizzle, it wasnt the greatest but it wasnt bad. I wouldnt reorder it again. Now, the food, she ordered the panini and got a salad on side she wasnt impressed at all, the salad didnt have some of the things on it that the cashier mentioned would be, she thought it was a typical house salad but it wasnt. She still ate it and wasnt mad at it. However, her panini she did not enjoy. There was supposed to be sauce on it but it looked like there was none. It was very dry and mediocre tasting way too expensive for what you’re getting, even in this economy. I ordered the grilled cheese and added bacon which was a 2 dollar upcharge, my sandwich took forever to come out and when it did it wasnt very grilled, there was arugula in it, which i was aware of, however i didnt expect it to be the main ingredient in the sandwich. there was more arugula than cheese and the dried tomatoes were soggy and not that good. What truly ruined this place for me was the fact that there was no bacon in my snadwich, I wish i was more confrontational because i just ate it without saying anything since they were becoming quite busy and it had already taken forever to come out. As i said before, we went to study and do some homework. It was a little difficult to do because the music was so loud and there are people talking all around but that isnt a big issue, just something i noticed. That is all, final words: I dont recommend this place.

What’s with the tornado fans? Felt like I was in a windstorm the whole time I was trying to enjoy my coffee
The internet was fast, the seats were comfortable, and the coffee was good.
My main issue was that the bagel sandwich I had was really mid, and I was hoping for better.

First time since the remodel and the place really lost its grit and soul. Looks like your average sterile coffee shop now. Coffee was just ok and the food was very bland. Staff was rude and acted inconvenienced. Businesses really need to stop trying to be trendy and bring personality and authenticity back.

This is a super cute coffee shop. The avocado toast is yummy, their coffees are more on the sweeter side, but they are still very good.

Don't buy into the hype the coffee is sub par at best. This was my second time here hopefully wishing that this time the coffee would be good. I was wrong and it was yet again another let down.
While visiting my daughter in Phoenix we stopped in Fair Trade. I loved the vibe and atmosphere. Decor is calm and unique, drinks were perfectly made, and food was tasty. Plus they had a DJ playing adding to the experience. Can’t wait to go back!
