Normally I’m a big fan of the coffee (forgot my preferred flavor) but this time I went in hoping to try their matcha and I was really disappointed. The matcha looked really light and didn’t really taste like matcha. Other coffee we ordered was better but both just missed the mark.

Cute little cafe right off the interstate offering plant milks and a few vegan baked goods. I thought the coffee was a little sour and I didn’t care for the oat milk used (it was not Oatly). I’d try something else next time.

I missed their 1-hour window for a Toogoodtogo order & called ahead to see if it would be OK to still pick it up & was told that it would be... Only to arrive & for the man at the front counter & manager to start saying there's a scam associated with missing the pickup window & that I would get a refund for missing it. I'm completely unaware & confused as to why someone would scam money over day old pastries & bread?? Also, don't see why that has anything to do with me & if it wasn't OK then it should have been communicated over the phone prior to my arrival. As a POC it came off accusatory & racist. Also, to respond to the previous remark-- I haven't received a refund nor was I seeking one which is why I made the point to call to begin with.

Fantastic staff and excellent coffee. My wife and I will make it a point to visit on our way on a road trip or if I'm in the area for a haircut. Coffee is reasonably priced and they have really tasty donuts.

Normally don’t get a pumpkin spice latte but this was subtle and not too empowering so you can taste the espresso shots in the latte. The orange olive oil donut was interesting but good!

Small but excellent cafe. They roast their own coffee from a single origin. As a pinky up coffee drinker it can't get much better than that. I had a Mexican single origin drip. Black. Sweet subtle chocolate and fruit ? notes Wi-Fi ✅ Chargers for laptops ✅ Water cups ✅ Single origins ✅ Roasted locally ✅
The staff was unexpectedly friendly. I didn't catch the two girls names but both seem really nice and unstressed despite the busy location.
Stop here after the train or on your way north west. I'll mark this in my map for sure

Awesome neighborhood coffee shop. They have an awesome selection of doughnuts (the old fashioned is incredible) and baked goods, along with delicious drinks from lattes to kombucha. Easy free parking and great atmosphere inside for a nice morning chat or meetup.

A little tricky to navigate out of the area in morning traffic but they have a parking lot which is fantastic. Coffee was magnificent and customer service from all staff was excellent!
