I really liked it here overall. My drink was very good. I didn't eat food. I met a few friends here and it was pretty loud overall and I couldn't find a chair. I wound up just leaning against the wall at a table but just know you may not find a seat when you come here. I think they could use maybe a couple more stools. It looks like the configuration has changed some though so they could be in the middle of a switch. I got a small latte with flavor and my drink was about $8.

I got a picture from the outside but forgot to take any others. I'll probably try going back so maybe I'll get a picture then

I keep trying to support our local coffee shop but the last three times I have gone in the mornings, they have been out of cold brew.

I will start calling before I drive there and try to give them a fourth chance.

Weird uncomfortable atmosphere. Not friendly and not welcoming to normal people.

They are super popular and there is never much space to lounge. But the whole crew are sweethearts and they have some of the best espresso and seasonal and creative drinks I have ever had.

I had a small latte with whole milk. Half of the cup was filled with just milk foam, so I was pretty disappointed. They did not accept AMEX card. They should have put this info to the front door. Also, since this is a local coffee shop, I expect to have better coffee taste compared to franchised ones, but I don't see any better.

We went here with high hopes after reading reviews. We spent over $60 on 2 breakfast sandwiches and 3 drinks which was crazy to begin with. The coffees we got were two pumpkin pie cold brews and they were so gross we threw them away. I knew we weren’t going to be happy when they whipped out the premade whipped cream and not homemade. For $60+ it should at least be homemade whipped cream. They had a sweet flower flavor to them which was so nasty. The smoothie was good. The breakfast sandwich was okay but paying extra for bacon and getting one slice of bacon is crazy to me. We will never be back.

I really wanted to like this place since I need a go-to place close to my kids school to work on Friday mornings and this location was great. The loaded avocado toast was well seasoned but the bread tasted stale. I got a cafe au lait (light roast) which was more milk than coffee. As for a service, as a first-timer, I needed a bit more guidance on the menu. I felt like I was an inconvenience when I was asking my questions. So much so that I decided to go somewhere else to comfortably ask for water without giving a “you’re bothering me” vibe.

Decided to come here based off of today's plans. I got a breakfast sandwich and the wife got a lox bagel. I got the drip coffee ( which is a must when trying any coffee shop ) it was quite tasty. They didn't have any pastries which is why I'm knocking a point off. But I guess it's good to save on waste. Overall the atmosphere isn't the greatest and is quite small on the inside. But the Overall experience was great. Would definitely come back

Definitely get their spinach and feta croissant! A cute place - not a lot of specialty drinks, but I personally find that refreshing! They offer alternate milks and smoothies also which is awesome!
