The tea latte was pretty bad and wasn't made properly. I wouldn't recommend others go here.

Tried it. Wanted to like it. Didn't. The cappuccino is bad. Things are very expensive.

Terrible coffee, the food was nasty too. I was given a half frozen croissant that did not get better even after we asked fo reheat it. High prices. Feels like a rip off!

We went here after morning mass and it's actually an Urth Cafe at St. Monica's Catholic Community.The drinks were great and the pastries were awesome. What was amazing was the tamales so soft, creamy and good size too.Then the school kids started filling up the place and we left.

Loved this coffee experience and what a brilliant way for the church to make both some revenue as well as community gathering. The coffee (particularly the frappe) was delicious and the place seems to be a lovely place to spend some time and get some work done as well.

Woman locked the door two hours before they closed right as I was walking up to the door.

Excellent coffee. Almond croissants are to die for as are the strawberry banana smoothies.Lots of rosaries and good Catholic books to choose from.The staff are great people

Cozy little coffee shop with Catholic themes, which makes perfect sense given the name, location, and their mission. Love that it’s a coffee stop that gives back to the community.I came in on a Sunday morning and there were a few people in there enjoying their breakfast. I got a warm ham and cheese croissant, a chocolate espresso scone, and a pumpkin spice latte! Perfect way to kick off the fall season. The croissant was pretty oily-probably butter, but delicious nonetheless. The scone wasn’t too sweet, but a perfect match to the sweeter spiced latte.They have indoor seating, I saw one man sit a table with his lap dog.

The cafe is adorable, as are the many locals who frequent here. Today my friend and I got to hear the story of the cafe’s purpose: to provide employment and mentorship to youth who were formerly incarcerated or from the foster care system. It is a privilege to enjoy such delicious beverages and treats and contribute to this cause and community.

Just moved to the neighborhood and already love this spot! Small, friendly, local, and great matcha lattes that are cheaper than other nearby joints. Can’t wait to come back!
