My friend and I decided to check out this spot since we love supporting local businesses. We both ordered plain cold brews, and I added a shot of espresso. The cold brew was great—smooth, flavorful, and not bitter at all.

Unfortunately, the service left a negative impression. The two staff members working that day came across as dismissive, though we initially brushed it off, giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Later, while sitting outside and enjoying our drinks, I politely asked where the restroom was. The barista responded, “It’s only for customers.” This was surprising, considering I was holding the very cold brew she had just prepared and handed to me.

The coffee was great, but customer service matters just as much. Because of the experience, I don’t see myself returning.

Barista was very short, almost rude in a way. Great coffee and low priced, quality cigars. 5 star experience.

A good place to work and hangout. Has different areas suitable for sitting inside and outside, also alone or with accompany.
I had a Princess Peach and loved it.

Good coffee. Laid back atmosphere. Outdoor seating and some indoor at a bar. The quiche was good but not a big breakfast menu

I couldn’t stay because they allow cigar smokers and it smelled throughout the restaurant even though they were outside. Visiting didn’t know that was a thing.

Stopped through this spot while waiting on a braiding appointment and was delighted to find reasonable prices for fantastic coffee. The chill vibe really made this into a neighborhood spot where locals felt comfortable chilling and/or getting work done (sometimes with dogs <3) on a weekday afternoon in the sun or shade. Lots of seating options and sweet staff.

If you are looking for baked good for your next party or event Quiet Storm should be your go-to. I ordered 3 dozen cookies for a women’s retreat and not only did they allow me to choose three different flavors but they were hot and individually bagged! On top of that the cookies were a huge hit with the ladies who raved about the cookies all weekend! Thank you Quiet Storm!!!!!!

I came here to study and it was just okay. The place also sells cigars and people are more than welcome to smoke them right outside in their outdoor seating area. I might beat a dead horse with this one but the smell of the smoke is often pushed into the building from the wind so keep that in mind if you're a big antismoker.
I tried to get their drip coffee but they didn't have any at the time that I went. It was okay as I just ordered one of their pour overs but I'm not a crazy fan of the Indonesian style they had, but that's not a factor in the review since that's just a personal preference. The main factor is the lack of the drip coffee in general as I could only get one size of their pour over because of it.
They have both wifi and plentiful outlets for those who need to study.
