Super chill spot for breakfast, and amazing prices too! $5 latte and $7 plate of biscuits and gravy (2 whole biscuits/4 halves). Really kind service, will probably come back next time I'm downtown for breakfast 😄
Stopped in on a Sunday morning for breakfast and coffee. We were the only ones dining in at the time but there were a decent amount of take out and DoorDash orders that we saw. The food was delicious and they have such a variety of options from breakfast sammies to late night snacks and bar food. Service was excellent, atmosphere was chill, and we plan to be back! Get the horchata latte, it’s delightful.
This place is awesome! Offers a casual menu with some of the most fair prices I’ve seen in years, especially downtown. The coffee is made with a lot of love and is super good. They have a great variety of things on the menu and I’ve had breakfast here too that is tasty. The staff is super nice. Everything is pretty cheap I would suggest tipping what you think because the prices are so low instead of a set percentage. Lovely place I’m excited it’s here!
