Lovely dog friendly café. The owner, Warren, is super nice and all of the regular staff are kind, wonderful people (shout-out to Andrew, Hanna, and Hannie!)
Coffee is bomb and the food is excellent as well. My favorites are the Corned beef hash (made in house) and the fried egg sandwich. The scones are very good (love the date and Brie flavor).
Honestly, best coffee shop in South side.

The atmosphere was quirky, comfortable, and sweet! My coffee and granola and yogurt were tasty. The coffee was on the acidic side for my taste. A few of the berries had molded so I asked for them to be removed and replaced… I feel like these things are pretty par for the course at local cafes though, and I value the experience overall far above the small details. Will definitely come back. ❤️
It’s a nice coffee shop for the most part. The WiFi took me a bit of time to hop on but worked pretty well once I did. Food was fine and the music is sooooo good! My only issue is that it smells like a Waffle House (that dirty rag and cleaner smell the turns your stomach) depending on where you’re sitting inside. Maybe have some essential oil fragrances throughout the shop to help with the smell? I also wish there were plugs but oh well. Outside is cute tho! I’ll be back lol :)

EDIT: IT’S BACK! Last 2 times I visited, it’s been phenomenal again: service, food, and lattes.
Jan ‘25: 5 star atmosphere and used to be my go-to and favorite cafe. The last few months of visiting has been disappointing.
- service has always been slow, but recently I’ve been finding hair in my coffee, mugs not throughly washed, and low effort lattes.
- Wifi does not work. Everyone is on their hotspot
- prices have increased, although they’ve kept their menu prices and wall menu prices the same. ex. a for-here drip coffee is $4.00, while on the wall says $2.50 - both pre tax.
This was one of my favorite coffeeshops but I will be taking my service elsewhere. Please reexamine the cafe!
In the meantime, I would recommend avoiding.

Coffee was great. I didn't eat the food but it looked and smelled great. Ambience was super cool. Wifi was janky though and not usable during my visit.

Great food and coffee. Patio is lovely, but sitting inside is suffocating. Wish the owner would install a new ventilation system.

Service was pretty unpleasant. Also, they advertise as a beer garden but don't have anything on tap (only cans/bottles).

Just what I wanted; a neighborhood place, great coffee drinks, homemade breakfast, homemade pastries, affordable.

I'm very disappointed in this establishment. The first time coming, I had a great experience and perhaps the owner was there that day.
Then, my second time also my last time ever coming. It was absolutely ridiculous. The staff this time were horrible, not aware and slow. I waited more than 35 minutes for my order of food which was long enough but I was patient. Then when I went to ask the blonde worker who by the way was literally sipping on coffee and texting on her phone at the front the entire time!!!! She said our order was taken by someone else with a "oh well" type of attitude. At least I got a refund but was not offer any incentive for making the situation better.
I would not come back here or recommend this place to anyone. They don't even make their own pastries here but charge the amount like they did.

Had a great hot chocolate and veggie sandwich. Food was fresh and tasty. The back patio seating has sunny and shaded seating and offered a little oasis to chat with my friend. The staff were very helpful. Unfortunately, they were out of kombucha, so I will have to come back soon to try it!
