Great coffee and atmosphere. Was able to work and focus here, but it also would be a great place to catch up with a friend!

The place is beautiful, the atmosphere is great, great music, the food is interesting and good but the service is terrible. They are not sure about the menu and distracted in the phone.

Very good mushroom coffee.

Nice selection of kava, coffee, smoothies, Gelato, lunch, and more. The Gelato flights they were bringing out look fantastic.

I had the mushroom cacao coffee with lions mane mushrooms. You have your choice of 5 different species of mushroom, and the menu explains the benefits. Anyway- delicious.

My sister had a coffee. LOL! She said it was good. Total for both drinks $13 before tip.

Loved all the plants and the fireplace area.

The gal taking orders wasn't having a great day I don't think. But that won't stop me from going again.

In and out door seating available.

Waffles with strawberry and chocolate is yummy, large and not too sweet. Atmosphere is great. They sell pre-packaged vegan meals and have so many options

The coffee and kava are good, but the people here are rude and dismissive. Sorry I haven't been here and know what I want. Went twice 2 different people same outcome. Not busy, the employees were just sitting. Idk what I did to piss in their cheerios but you dont create a welcoming atmosphere this way. Too bad because I liked the products, but the people make me want to skip this place and go down the street to Starbucks instead. First time in was 9/26 at 7pm and second 9/27 at 10am

Oof, I came by this place by chance just looking for coffee. This place is super cute when you come it so the atmosphere is nice. There was a couple already seated but otherwise I was alone in this place.
I ordered a matcha and a plain waffle. It took 15 minutes to get a matcha and I realized after minute 10 that the people on the shift had never made the waffles before. They went back and forth between the instructions, and the food safety was very much lacking. She apologized after about 20 minutes for the wait because they didn’t have the waffle mix ready, but if I had know that I wouldn’t have ordered it. A 15 minute wait for matcha is crazy but a 30 minute. Oh and the milk was far too hot, I’m not sure if they use temperature thermometers when their steam their milk but even after five minutes this drink was scorching and I drink hot coffee daily. I wanted to like this place so much more 😭

Service was horrible. Place was not even busy. Took over an hour to get a smoothie and an acai bowl. Two customers behind us in line got there food first. Waitress even said we forgot about your order. Not coming back.

Has a variety of smoothies and coffee with plant based milk options. The location is also filled with plants and has a very chill vibe. Unfortunately the teenagers working may have been a little too chill and took a bit longer than seemed necessary to take and make the orders lol just my experience, nothing major.
