Wish I lived closer. As a first time customer I got a drink on the house, and they have a utopic pay-what-you-can model for future drinks. The cafe is spacious, and it’s the perfect place to either get work done or chat with some friends—it doesn’t seem dominated by either group. The baristas are very friendly and clearly excellent at their craft. They use high quality espresso, and the brown sugar latte was divine.
Super friendly staff easy to order

The menu features a range of drinks, including the brown sugar latte, vanilla oatmilk latte, cortado, matcha, and seasonal specialties like the key-lime matcha latte and the unique when harry met salty latte. The mocha is praised as the best many have ever had, and the espresso is well dialed, with baristas who care about quality.
