Great coffee from an Aussie perspective.

Every time I walk in, the baristas act as if I'm bothering them by wanting to give them my money. It's incredibly uncomfortable how pretentious this place is. This place would be as cool and hip as they thought it is if the coffee was actually good. Bad vibes and bad coffee.

You actually don't like it there.

I was looking for a specialty coffee shop and found this place based on travel guide recommendations. Their Google profile even shows photos of them serving breakfast. I found parking, paid for it, and headed over to enjoy a nice breakfast and some great coffee… but that didn’t happen!

They actually stopped serving breakfast a long time ago! Then why on earth haven’t you, as business owners, updated your Google Business profile? I was hungry, so I grabbed one of the few things they had — a croissant — and paid for it. Only after they handed it to me along with the coffee did they tell me they don’t have an oven or any way to warm it up! What is going on?

The coffee was mediocre, and they don’t listen to their customers. I asked for a ristretto — they gave me an espresso. This is not specialty coffee; they don’t know how to prepare it properly. Also, be ready to choke down cold pastries!

My favorite coffee in the city. So freakin good. Recommend lavender coffee.

It’s cute little coffee shop on a great spot on the corner. It has a small menu of the classic coffee options like latte and cortado, and they have 3 syrup options of lavender, vanilla, or mocha (nope, no caramel!). I forget how small the 8oz is it fits so cutely in my hand but it was a good amount of coffee for my walk home. A bit higher prices but it’s a small business supporting our community! Plenty of seating and space to study, work, or chill!

Good coffee and nice relaxing spot

Always a good sign when they're serving espresso and tonic. The barista was super helpful and engaged with my random questions about the shop. Thanks :)

Grabbed a cup of the tonic and even got a free drip cup with my bag of Songwe, Tanzania. Happy with it all 👌

Well known spot that services the area with their roasting.

The one downside for me is the location. It's a little rough and there's graffiti all over the windows.

Small batch craft roaster with a lovely cafe. Matcha latte is well balanced and made there with almond milk so ask if you have a different preference. Good place to get work done or meet with a friend. Most seating is for two. Would definitely recommend!

Good coffee, vibe and staff.

My only feedback would be on the food offerings: something low-carb.. (i can suggest café Tola's buffalo chicken empanadas down the road 😋)
