This cozy spot hits every mark you want in a local coffee shop. The coffee is excellent – clearly crafted with care and consistently delicious. The atmosphere is wonderfully chill with perfect lighting, comfy seating, and a carefully curated playlist that sets just the right mood.
The staff creates a genuinely welcoming vibe. They’re attentive without being intrusive, and you can tell they love what they do. Whether you’re a regular or first-timer, you’ll feel right at home.
It’s ideal for everything from catching up with friends to quiet solo time with a book. The kind of place that makes you want to linger and savor both the coffee and the moment. Nevada City is lucky to have such a special little haven.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking great coffee and genuine good vibes.

Don't order the 8 dollar matcha. Taste like watered down milk.

The buttered miso sesame sourdough toast changed my life. Their chai is made in house, super savory and unique. Really cute shop, great service, chill vibes!

Anytime I am passing through the area I stop here and I will go out of my way to do so. Everything they make is divine and the energy in the shop is very cool. Their chai, cookies and goat cheese toast are my favorites!

Took my partner on a scavenger hunt around town since we are new I wanted to bring him to new places! I am SO glad we found this nook in town! Wow organic coffee tastes amazing, they make it right in house. The owner knows a lot about getting the best quality coffee. Love the CHAI 🙌🏽 Must try an ice latte as well Thank you!!

I love this little place and how close it is to my house. I wish it was more consistent and geared towards efficient service.
Improvements would be increasing barista efficiency and bar flow for quicker drinks or having a second staff member on bar during busier times. Today, went in right at opening and waited for over 20 minutes for a latte. There were 3 drinks ahead of me. As a former barista, this is excessive. Also, improving consistency between baristas on drink quality would be advantageous and appreciated.

This is the place. Perfectly brewed cold hibiscus tea and the best coffee in Nevada county! I tried to replicate both at home but I don’t even come close. Steffen makes magic happen with anything and everything he does- including the best hug ever on a morning where I really needed one.

Good people, good food

To say I frequent this spot would be an understatement. This is the definition of quality over quantity. The roaster makes the best flavor profiles from an assortment of beans, be sure to buy a bag for home. My go to is an americano with the 6 minute egg on toast or either of the scones… but I could advocate that all the menu options will satisfy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cool little expresso shoppe right next to the Onyx theatre, in addition to superb drinks there are biscuits, scones, cool decor, and a corner that has a call back to old tech on rotation. I like that they are kind enough to overlook any displays of pre-coffee flubs that occur ?
Awesome owner, super friendly, great service and solid drinks! I’ll be back

I love this place. Best coffee, best service. I can tell the owner truly delights in serving his customers the most delicious and most beautiful espresso drinks. He even served my cappuccino in his own personal handmade ceramic cup after I commented on how much I enjoyed the handmade espresso cups he had on the warming tray, and every cup has beautiful and unique latte art that elevates the experience even more. Yes, really love this place, highly recommend!!

Popped in for a quick breakfast and coffee. Incredible cappuccino. Fantastic six minute egg on buttered toast. Wonderful service. Expected California prices, got California prices- but WELL worth it. You are missing something great if you are in the area and don’t stop by❤️
