The guy working there served me a room temperature drip coffee because he didn't like the way I dressed

I dine in yet my order was wrong. SO MANY flies while trying to eat or drink a coffee. Probably the location is the only reason people chose to come. Other reviews are right, barista is rude

o The attitude of the barista was horrible, almost as if she did not want to take our order, my friend also noticed the attitude and wanted to leave.
o Loved the place

Was staying nearby and grabbed a quick coffee. Really nice place, friendly and quick service.
Drinks are good, and the vibe in the back room is really cozy and open with lots of natural lighting and couches to hang out on. The plants give it a good vibe. Feels alive and spacious.

Super cute coffee shop! Sat in the open air patio, surrounded by sweet plants and an amazing eclectic style. I had a Dandelion Mushroom drink which was delicious, and the service was fantastic! They also offer real cups, which makes me happy. I was not able to try their Famous South African Hand Pies, just due to timing, but I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this quaint little spot - I'm in love!

Used to be a regular, but lately the drinks haven’t been great. Today they were especially bad and we ended up tossing both. Very bitter coffee and spoiled tasting milk. Tasted nothing like what we usually get. I understand that they were very busy but having both drinks taste horrible was the final straw. Very lovely atmosphere though, but definitely not the best drinks around.

This coffee shop is so cute. It feels cozy and peaceful. We absolutely loved stopping here. The baristas were super nice and helpful.
The drinks were delicious and hand whisked. We ended up trying a pastry and it was warmed to perfection and delicious. I highly recommending!
The parking is a bit rough bc they only have a few spots up front and they stay quite busy. They had a cute small business market happening when we went.

Walk up counter, take your food and drink to the other room with a random selection of different old tables and seating options.

No, just no. Overwhelmed gal trying to do it all with no help. Used restroom and pipe to the sink was broken so — no washing hands— in a food place?! Blick. Health Dept please. Ordered two seasonal drinks that took forever because the poor gal was sending an SOS text to other staff. Then they came out with no syrups, no flavors that we paid for. Overall just kinda shaking my head.
Coffee was THE WORST.
The plants and atmosphere were great, and i didn’t have an issue with the staff as many others have expressed, but the coffee was hands down the worst i’ve ever tried, including bad Keurig and drip coffee.
I ordered an espresso with caramel flavoring, and the minimal amount of coffee I could taste had the flavor of acid water from a dirt-filled machine that hadn’t been descaled since the 70s. I couldn’t taste any caramel, so i went back in to ask for an extra shot of both espresso and caramel (at least the barista was nice and “fixed” it w no charge), and left with my coffee tasting somehow worse than it started off. It tasted like milky dirt water. Also I guess their flavoring is unsweetened which… kind of defeats the entire point of paying for flavoring in coffee??? Which should be explicitly posted somewhere, which it wasn’t. at all.
I’m sure they have good events and great atmosphere/smoothies/food or other things. But it’s rather deceiving to have “coffee” in your name and then explicitly suck at it. At the very least they should change their name to “The Stand” because coffee is not what people are there for.
