Ridiculously overpriced. Two breakfast burritos came out to $26! They werent even that big and the quality was just meh. Coffee was pretty good, and I used to go here but man the price is outrageous.

I love this place but sometimes they have overcharged me a couple times. When I've gotten a sunny d, on the machine it said freshly squeezed orange juice and it was 5$ for one. Thought it was strange. Happened again next time. Then one time I got charged for an actual sunny d, which it said on the machine and it was either 2$ or 2.50$ this time. Thought it was strange why sometimes they overcharged.

Wow I cannot say enough good things about this coffee shop! First it is is so so so adorable from the outside and the inside. The service is excellent! The people working inside are so sweet. The coffee is made perfectly and they serve the best coffee cake bread I’ve ever had in my life! I will be dreaming of that coffee cake bread for ages!

Came here for coffee-- 2 of the 3 self-serve coffee thermoses were empty, one of them was warm but not hot. I know it was busy since it was the few places open early the day after Thanksgiving. I waited a bit, my BF ate his food, and another customer mentioned the empty coffee situation. The person behind the counter rebrewed the coffee, and by then time they put the new pots out, the coffee was cold. I know I could've just asked them to make em an Americano, but I didn't want to make a big deal because it was busy. Overall, waiting for the new batch of coffee just for it to also be cold was very, very disappointing.

Very cute cafe in a great location. But the prices and serving size of breakfast leaves very much to be desired……Got a breakfast burrito with avocado added on extra, a breakfast sandwich, hot tea (so pretty much hot water and a 50 cent tea packet) and an iced mocha and somehow it comes out to $45 absolutely blows my mind. I burrito I ate in like 7 bites…. When I go to a breakfast place I expect to not be hungry after buying something but that burrito was the smallest most expensive burrito I ever purchased…Very disappointing, that they have no prices on any food items. Food was good but just not worth the price at all. If you love cute little cafes this is it! But be warned it will cost and arm and leg. Great place but really needs to work on the prices. Literally took to small bites out of my burrito in the picture and you can see how small it is. Normally not one to leave a bad review but I was extremely disappointed

I think the atmosphere kind of influenced my review. Seemed cramped for inside seating. Pricey.

What is with the trend of no prices listed?How much is a burrito?How can i place a value to cost for beans & cheese?The only prices listed are fornon-edible merchandiseThe place offers too much on the menu for their ability to serve coffee,In a time.The place is filthy.The hidden business of online ordering fails to benefit the humans standing in line.Jen & Glenn were nowhere in sight,Just 3 Hispanic women working nonstop at minimum wage;i gather?

We were so happy to find a place that opened up at 6am! The coffee drinks were delicious and the service was fast. The sandwiches they serve are premade and cold, but they have two microwaves for heating.Vegetarian options: The veggie burrito was delicious.
