Love love love this place. A great place to pop in, study, or meet a friend. The coffee is amazing and the chocolate is somehow even better?? Only qualm is the lack of food options since they seem to sell out of pastries and such super early.The employees are AMAZING! All the baristas are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, especially Aidan who helped us choose what to order. Loved the coffee, music, and vibes??

Was there to print something out at PrintWithMe kiosk, something didn’t work and baristas were more than helpful and we figured it all out together. Very nice people and patient! Thank you :)

Get your latte to stay — VERY cool upstairs area with velvet couches!

Nice little coffee shop, no complaints about the drink or the atmosphere. I stayed for a while and did some work, looked like there were some writers and other creatives working from here as well.

Very loud!!! Fun and cute ambience, the service is friendly however the music is VERY loud! It’s not suitable for working, reading or studying. Other than that, the place is fun to hang out. Their second floor is offering couches and a pool table, walls are designed with murals which makes it really interesting.Another disappointment was a $1 up charge for a non dairy option. I think it’s getting out of control and is not a fair add on to the bill. The price of soy milk is the same if not cheaper than the price of a regular milk, with so many having lactose intolerance, offering a non dairy option is a service that increases the consumer rich, instead, the option is being treated like a luxury add on. My Wi-Fi never worked but I saw others connected. I won’t be back.

nvr bn more impressed & enamored with any other coffee spot in my life; they're the most epitomic in every possible way...words don't even suffice, this is absolutely a must-visit! <3 ... (tried the 2 most adventurous lattes we could find on their menu, & were both pleasantly surprised with how much we loved them!)

I have been steady going here for almost two years now. I really love the staff. I see a lot of people on here complaining about the internet but at the end of the day this is a coffee shop, not an office. They won’t have internet for an office, get yourself a hotspot like most other wfh people have.The environment is warm and welcoming. There is a nice back outdoor area with picnic tables, and some covered seating out there as well (limited) I like the couches upstairs. It’s also nice having a pool table somewhere that isn’t a bar! Great space to hang out for all ages essentially.The coffee is good, I enjoy the tea as well. Efficient staff who all enjoys what they do and knows what they do. You can tell they appreciate the craft. Decent selection of food for a coffee shop, I cannot speak on the breakfast tacos personally, as I am not a morning person myself. I have tried most things on the menu I stick with primarily drip and steamed milk now though.

I enjoy coming here but it's really loud on the second floor. Music is cranked all the way up. Kind of distracting if you're trying to focus on something.

It's a small neighborhood coffeehouse that is relaxed and energetic at the same time. Staff is welcoming, and the drinks are no frills and deliscious.

Pleasing to the eye and taste buds, the Mayan mocha! I personally like the taste of black coffee also, so I ordered LIGHT syrup. Made it perfect. ?
