I love this coffee shop! It is affordable and the atmosphere is so relaxing. Plus they have plug ins so it’s a great spot to get some work done!

Such a cute little coffee shop! Delicious drinks and FINALLY a place that doesn't charge an outrageous amount for avocado toast! I'll definitely be back!

This is a very nice locally-owned coffee shop. They make a very good cortado here and a pretty good avocado toast. I just wished they would use freshly sliced avocados. At any rate, the toast is still tasty.

The service was super friendly. They have good, comfortable seating.

3.50 avocado toast that's good. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW everywhere else charges like 10+. Places down the block charge 16!

there have this sign above the register, it says "ALWAYS" on the left and "FRESH!" on the right. but, when installing the individual letters, it seems that they mixed up the S's of those words... so, the S in "alwayS" is a little larger than the other letters, and the S in "freSh" is a little smaller... just thought it was funny. anyways, good coffee!

Unfortunately, for a walkable neighborhood spot the inconsistencies around your opening hours makes me choose your shop second vs first.

I’ve visited now three times and your hours on the door even say you’re supposed to be open the doors are locked and you’re closed.

I understand small business might have staffing issues - but inconsistent operating hours really hurt your business.

The drinks are crafted very well, I enjoy the eco-friendly approach and the dog friendly cafe is amazing. The staff are also very very kind.

Fairly new cafe to the North Park area! This place isn't crowded like the other nearby cafes on the weekend and is perfect for knocking out some work.Things you should know:I. PARKINGStreet parking is the move. There's also a nearby parking garage at the intersection of 29th St and N Park Way ~ close walking distance.II. SERVICETopped off the experience here for me. The cafe barista I spoke with was extremely helpful and personable.III. QUALITYThe PINKY signature latte was delicious. Subtle hints of rose and natural sweetness added by the honey ~ highly recommend.IV. CAPACITYFair amount of available seating on the weekend. This cafe hasn't gotten a lot of clout yet because of how new it is, keeping it hidden for the locals.! No lines!

I love my weekend routine with this matcha latte. Not too strong or weak and it's not pre-sweetened. The baristas here are genuine and chill.North Park has a lot of coffee shops, but this one really stands out and I don't mind spending my hard earned money on coffee/tea here ?
