What a great space Gia and Sarah have here, it hits all the right notes. Service is fast and friendly, the design and details are impeccable, and the cortado, dare I say, is the best and most consistent in town. When they're not highlighting other small businesses with baked goods, they offer old fashioned donuts - the perfect compliment to any espresso drink!

(+) Cool vibes. I love the bar.(+) Great service, super friendly.(+) The Basic.(+) The Giddyup.I'll say it's definitely on the pricier side, paying $7 for a coffee drink makes me cringe a bit, such that I wouldn't go like everyday, but for a nice elevated coffee drink every now and then I would absolutely come again.

My new favorite coffee shop! The coffee is amazing, the owners are extremely personable, and the atmosphere is sweet and energetic. I’m so grateful for this little gem right by my yoga studio.

Best drinks ever. I don’t drink caffeine because I have anxiety and I love that they have Zero proof drinks or they always offer to make your drink decaf . They are in fact very welcoming, Super friendly I don’t really know why there’s a review saying they’re not. Anyways, you need to try their seasonal drinks they are AWESOME !! So much creativity in these folks .

Best coffee in town. The drinks are incredible thoughtful and so full of flavor. I've had the seasonal drinks last fall, christmas and winter and none has been short of excellent. Do yourself a favor and try them, you won't be dissapointed.Dietary restrictions: All milk is plant basedWheelchair accessibility: Street level

Such a rad new coffee shop! The vibe is awesome, the baristas were super welcoming, and the oat cortado was probably the best I've had in SD. Will be back!

This place is a vibe. Great decor and wonderful funk music playing while I was there. Both baristas were lovely and coffee came out quickly. I got The Basic (Vanilla Latte) and it was fantastic and looks like they use real vanilla bean in their vanilla flavor. It was delicious. They may have mistaken sawdust for flour with the shortbread cookie this particular day. Not great. It happens. Pretty solid experience, will definitely be back.

Love love love it here so much!! It's always such a vibe. The cutest addition to Bankers Hill. The baristas are so knowledgeable and you can just tell they love making coffee and know what they're doing. The menu options are great. It can get busy but it's worth your time to enjoy a cup at the bar if you can get a seat. The best morning golden hours are here.

This is a great local spot - the vanilla latte is perfection! I love that they serve everything with oat milk as that is a nice touch and something I haven't seen often. The space inside is smaller but it's charming and cute and fun.
