love this place, has been my fav study spot for years. plenty of seating, even when it's busy (and it gets busy!) i can usually find a seat. great food, sandwiches, coffee (although the coffee isn't the best, it's certainly good enough. nothing super special on that front though.) The vibes, however, are IMMACULATE. Decorated like a parisian bistro, super cute little fake booths, warm lighting, gorgeous windows in the front, plenty of real plants, just fantastic vibes. only complaint is that there aren't too many outlets, which i know isn't something they can do very much about. I live in ingleside and don't drive, so my commute here is almost 50 minutes- yet i come like twice a week. that should tell you how cozy this place is. I also love the late hours- closes at 6 most days, and 8 or 9 on fridays and saturdays (don't remember the exact time). just check it out if your looking for a cozy spot.

Their matcha lattes suck. No sweetner.
This place is amazing with super tasty food, drinks, and positive energy not just from the staff but from the vibe of the customers as well. I don't blame people for staying to enjoy the ambiance while working or socializing.

BLT sandwich was ok, the space is great for studying or working
This is a very cute little cafe. There are a few employees that always help me and they are so attentive and sweet. They are what kept me coming back other than the good food. The food was great and good service too however I was very turned off by what i found out was the manager/owner. He was being extremely disrespectful to one of his employees. I over heard one of the employees mention they had not gotten a break and they were almost off. This was not the first time. Another time I went in and apparently his wife was reprimanding an employee about something so small and trivial. These owners needs to take running a business 101 and learn respect for their employees before this business crashes and burns.

Such a charming atmosphere with friendly staff and always fresh, delicious coffee. It’s an amazing coworking space filled with warm and welcoming people — the perfect place to work and feel inspired.

What a quaint little find! I was in town looking for a quick lunch and I’m so glad I stumbled into this cafe. The decor and ambiance made me want to grab my laptop out and work for hours. The menu had a variety of drink options like coffee and tea, bubbly options and a lot of fresh sandwiches and salads.

Its a cool place to study but yesterday they closed earlier at 6pm instead of 10pm which was advertised and I had already purchased coffee and tea, things that I do not even drink, i just bought them cuz I wanted a place to study. The outlets suck also, the charger kept falling out on two separate outlets

This cafe has a really nice vibe, and even better tasting coffee. I highly recommend the iced caramel macchiato. There is wifi, some books, a bathroom, and even some board games to entertain yourself.

Visited again 2025 June 4. Wifi posted at cashier. No problems logging on.
This time I had a salad and coffee.
Poster said they had open mic but maybe not?
1st and 2nd Saturday are reportedly poetry and ukelele respectively according to a fellow customer.
Previous comment was:
Just dropped in for coffee. (Big mug). Nice vibe. Had some difficulty with WiFi, but I think I solved it just as we were leaving. I bathroom.
