The place is very come to sit and do work vibes, but the food is great and so is the coffee. The Mayan mocha is very good and so is the strawberry matcha. Not many employees there so it made the service slow but worth the wait.

While on a family vacation and not replanning anything we stumbled across this cafe and it was probably a highlight of the trip for me. I NEVER leave reviews but the food here was so good, plus the inside was gorgeous. I came in nauseous and lightheaded and asked for a side of fresh fruit and if i could get it before our meal. Our waitress brought it out so quick and I was very pleased it was not the typical honeydew mix most restaurants give, but had fresh raspberries, blueberries...

Cute cafe in downtown Santa Ana with eclectic vibes and cozy atmosphere. Open mic nights on Fridays are a chill place to hang out, grab some food and drinks, and listen to artists play their originals. Good vibes.
