Bought a Toast Flight and Coffee flight. Both were amazing and perfect to share. I'm not usually a huge coffee fan but Blue Bean may convert me. Staff was very kind and helpful ☺️

Tried this for the first time with a colleague, and we definitely will be back! We each got a toast and coffee flight and both were delicious! Both the girls working were super kind. Basic seating area was a little smaller than I expected, and can imagine it fills up pretty quickly when busy. We definitely will be back! :)

Took 35 minutes to receive one flight of coffee and only liked 2 of the 4. Basic mocha not very good. Multiple people who ordered after us got their things before us.

$7.50 for a very basic medium iced latte.
Coffee is really really good and atmosphere is decent but prices are pretty high
Breakfast selection was light. not much for carb free options

This was our first visit, based on a friend's recommendation. We had a flight of coffee and toast. Both were amazing!

This is a nice little spot. We stopped in for a coffee and toast flight mid morning. The coffees were all really tasty and it was fun getting to try different flavors. None of the toasts were something I couldn’t easily make at home, but they tasted fine. They have a nice outdoor area and a clean interior. We sat inside and there were two larger groups and still plenty of room for additional 2-4 person groups. We had our baby and didn’t feel crowded or like we were disrupting anyone. I would come back for the coffee.

-Feel productive without being productive-
I wanted to enjoy this cafe as a productive workspace, but it under delivers on practicality. On the bright side, the space was chic, latte was excellent, and the staff were friendly. However, the final landing is ornamental. In the main area, where no fee is required, you’re confined to small tables with scarce access to only three wall outlets—spreading out or charging electronics becomes a logistical puzzle. The Wi-Fi, free to this area, competes fiercely for the title of “slowest ever” (proof attached).
It seems that the paid coworking spaces may insulate you from these problems, as I noticed a separate, presumably faster Wi-Fi network there. Still, the notion of dangling basic workspace necessities behind unreasonably high paywalls feels a tad exploitative. I wouldn't be surprised to learn these areas go unused much of the time. So if you're a working-class party of 1-2, you'll be left feeling underwhelmed and better served at the library down the street or any other coffee shop.

The flights are fantastic. Ask questions if you’re unsure.
