Breakfast burrito is not good. Pre made egg and very strange. Just a warning for those who consider trying it.

This is my FAVORITE cafe, any time I can make it over is a special treat. They have such uniquely crafted drinks, and such kind workers. They also have really cool art and tea-esque things for sale in-store!!!! I've gotten yummy syrups from there.

Reminds me of coffee shops at research universities. Corn and cheese panini was more tasty than I expected!

This place is right across from Amtrak. We were looking for a muffin or something of that sort and a cup of coffee. A quick search in the Waze app landed us here. We were greeted with a very chipper and welcoming staff and a calming atmosphere. You can sit at the tables outside in a lobby type area. I gave the Leeche tea a try. They make and sweeten it over night. It was delicious. There is some type of fruit in the drink as well. Very refreshing fruity sweet tea. But onto the bacon breakfast burrito. I’m not a breakfast person but this was hands down the BEST breakfast burrito/dish I have ever had. My husband said the same. Highly recommended!!!!Kid-friendliness: All are welcome.Wheelchair accessibility: There are ramps to get into the sidewalk and you can stroll right in.

Cute little coffee shop. The coffee I got wasn't as sweet as I'm used to but that's just my taste buds. The atmosphere was very dim and cozy. Definitely not cheap

I've been coming here for multiple times a week for years now. This is my favorite place in town. All the staff are super friendly and accommodating. The owner obviously loves what she does and just wants to share it with everyone who walks through the door. Every food and drink item I've had have been spectacular, and I've had almost every drink off the menu. My personal favorites are the green thai tea (so unique!) and the earl rose tea. Best boba and breakfast burrito I've ever had and I've had a lot. Green goddess dressing to die for. Daily specials that'll keep you coming back for each new surprise. And to top it all of they have a gorgeous atrium sitting area filled with tropical plants and stone tables. My only complaint is that they aren't open on weekends because I want to come every day!Vegetarian options: Soyrizo and brown butter mushroom options for vegetarians at breakfast

HOLY GARLIC!!! I got a mushroom breakfast burrito today (which they're normally really good!), but whoever cooked it this morning, sure loves garlic! Vietnamese coffee is always bangin'!!! ??

A cafe in an office building, but instead of depressing food and boring drinks, they have some of my favorite breakfast burritos anywhere, an inspired rotation of specials, good coffee drinks and even better tea drinks. In my years of coming here, I have yet to fall into a typical order because so much of what they have is worth trying.

The employees of the establishment are so kind and helpful and very fast. Just seeing them smile is enough to get me through the day. The cashiers always greet me with a smile and always let's me know the items of the day.Vegetarian options: If you are vegan, they have many alternative milks ? soy, oat, coconut, etc.Wheelchair accessibility: It is very easy to access the wheelchair accessible it's user-friendly.Dietary restrictions: Just let em know what you want

not cheap but WELL worth it. quality and location definitely justifies the prices. i spent $19 for the bacon breakfast burrito and a large iced coffee. it was well worth it one of the best burritos ive had. i will definitely be coming back and recommending this coffee shop to other people. i would definitely recommend bringing a partner here as a date too as they have plenty of options other than just coffee.Kid-friendliness: there are plenty of stickers and pins that you can getParking: there is a parking garage and on-street parking meters

Huge yummy salads! Reasonable drip coffee prices and 30 second walk from the Amtrak station. Seems to be a popular lunch spot for workers in the area
