Ambience is nice and it’s great for studying. It can be pretty crowded though especially once school hours are over. Prices are pretty high tho — an 8oz coffee is almost $8. Insane. I like coming here for the study vibes but I cant justify coming often because of the prices as it adds up. I will say that I wasn’t super impressed by their coffee or matcha.

This was my first time ever going to this coffee shop.
I've always seen a lot of people go into this building with a briefcase or laptop, but I honestly thought it was an office building and not a workspace/coffee shop!! Lol.
I was rather shocked to see it was a coffee shop, and I liked all their seasonal winter drinks! I wanted to try the Nordic water, but the barista said sadly they got hit really hard on Sunday with a bunch of coffee lovers and they ran out of the mixture. I decided to get a regular latte with almond milk and a gluten-free blueberry muffin as well as a chocolate croissant!
All three items were delicious, and I was really surprised how creamy the almond milk was on the latte!! Almond milk usually taste kind of flat to me, but this almost taste like a hemp milk or perhaps a macadamia nut milk! I was very impressed!!
Not to mention the gluten-free blueberry muffin, and the giant chocolate croissant was so flaky and crunchy with the perfect amount of chocolate inside!!
Inside, there were two different work areas one could go to while the register area was towards the middle of the store. I really wish I could work from home and sit in this coffee shop all day and order lunch, a salad and maybe some avocado toast with a nice glass of wine! No joke they had all of that and more!!

The only thing I would keep from giving them five stars is the area in which you're supposed to wait/ stand as you're waiting for your drink.
Since this was my first time here and it was a Monday around 11 AM, there seem to be a lot of people coming and going by the pick up counter. I stood off to the side, but I felt as if I was getting in everyone's way either in front or behind me. Lol the restrooms are also to the right hand side, so perhaps they were all going to and from the restroom or getting a booth?! Nevertheless, I didn't want to stand in the back of the café, where you could doctor up your drink because there's a trashcan there, but | felt I would block the walkway for people coming out of that seating area as well. Lol.
I will definitely go back again, and I can't wait to try that Nordic latte!!

This place wins stars for ambience. Cold brew and energy bites were great; choc croissant is a bit on the dry side, needing more flakiness. Cafe au lait is heavy on the dairy, despite using 2%

Lots of seating but the WiFi only lets you connect for 2 hours. The drinks were average but the only option is paper cups, it would have been better to get a nice mug for a hot coffee.

I love this spot for a good cup of coffee and a snack. My favorite- Banana Bread Latte and Caprese Sandwich. Lots of space for work/studying.

$25 for a latte and avocado toast, the latter of which was meh at best.

While it's spacious and good for studying, to be honest, the coffee was worse than I expected for the price. I've never seen a $7 latte served without any latte art. The same goes for the americano. It used to have good crema, but not anymore.
