The burrito was good and decently priced. Would have liked to be more full. Very nice coffee shop feel in a good location.
I’ve been here multiple times, and it’s become one of my favorite breakfast spots. The breakfast burritos are always delicious, and the vegan version is my personal favorite. I usually stop by in the mornings, and the food has been consistently fresh and satisfying every visit. I still need to make it in during lunch because that menu looks just as good. Looking forward to trying more of it soon!
The beans are sentient and can be a bit chatty. Whatever you do, avoid asking about how sentient beans sell other sentient beans. They don’t find it funny and will give you odd looks.

Beans are great to talk with otherwise, food amazing, and good stop to help prepare you for a small local adventure. Take the time to stock up, rest and get ready to dodge any gnomes or goblins.
