charging $30 for 2 coffees and a regular pastry. $30 !!! ????? It's madness ! I would stay away

Good coffee at steep prices. I'm happy to visit this cafe when I'm in the area. The inside is cozy and inviting, and the service is warm. The thing that stops me from stopping by on any sort of regular basis is the price. For what I typically order (drip or americano) it's around 2x what you'd expect vs a major chain, and 1.5x for an independent cafe. And to me, the taste doesn't make up for it. The food on offer is absolutely delicious -- but again, at prices that would usually get you a lunch special, not a savory pastry.

$11.50 for an oat latte and no wifi? I wont be back. Starbucks will have a cheaper latte than this.

Cool little coffee shop kind of outta the way. The people working there don't know if they were the owners or not but the customer service was up there for a coffee shop got a large caramel macchiato which was delicious and a jalapeno cheddar bagel with cream cheese could have been more cream cheese on the bagel but not going to complain it was good.

Great customer service and their Jalapeño cream cheese bagel is delicious. I also love the green tea frappe with almond milk and whipped cream.

Love this coffee shop! They have cute teapots from Japan that are kind of hard to find.

These two coffees aren't even good, they hot coffee taste like burnt espresso, and the iced one taste like Starbucks. Nice atmosphere. 1 star because my bill for 2 coffees was $30.40, no I can not make this up. The prices didn't reflect the menu prices but rather than argue with the man I'd rather just post this yelp so y'all have a heads up.
