I love coming here during the work week, the coffee is great, the atmosphere is very relaxed, its decorated so nicely. I love the avocado toast, vegan scones are delicious and my son says they have great bagels!

Good food, good customer service, great drinks. It's often busy on weekends or later in the day from college students.

The staff here are incredibly kind and super, super helpful. They're happy to answer questions and when I ordered a growler, the employee (who's name I didn't get, I'm sorry!) was super informative and patient with me! The food is delicious and tastes fresh each time I come, and there's always an open spot. I really like it here and I appreciate the help I was given today!

The coffee is DEEE-LICIOUS every time. I can taste the coffee in the lattes, which isn't always the case elsewhere.And if you're not sure what you want, they def have some great suggestions. The staff knows their stuff. They are patient and friendly, and willing to help. They offer a small selection of vegan options, which is why I return often.This place is a Valpo treasure!!Vegetarian options: They have Vegan, not vegetarian, offerings. I'd love to have a bigger selection but that's for everywhere! LolKid-friendliness: This spot is def kid friendly!

Bacon Swiss chicken sandwich was good. I was disappointed that the kettle chips were just Ruffles potato

Been going to this café for years: before and after I went vegan. They have plenty of options on their menu, which I explain below. The menu has maybe changed once in the 2.5 years I've been vegan, but where this café excels is in its variety of signatures drinks, rotating soups, and fresh, day-made pastries. They source their coffee from roasters in NWI - one of which used to work at Uptown. The staff is welcoming and accommodating for people of all walks of life. If there's something on the menu that isn't quite what you want, they'll work with you on adjusting ingredients. You can order sandwich and soup btw! Favorite café in all of NWI.Vegan Menu Options:Breakfast: N/A :(Toasts:Mediterranean (no feta)BalsamicAvocadoBowls:Mediterranean (no feta)Thai Peanut(I've had one of these as a side!)Sandwiches:Chickpea SunflowerSide Kettle ChipsSide Salad(Side Soup)Salads:Voodoo (no feta)The Big VeganBBQ (no mozzarella, jalapeño ranch dressing)Soups:Soup of The DayPastries:Scone of The DayChocolate Chip CookieMuffin of The DayDietary restrictions: Offers the full gamut of diets, imho

Hubby and I come here all the time for day dates. Staff is very sweet and friendly and everything is delicious! Coffee syrups are made in house which is hard to find and they also make fancy all natural craft sodas. So far all the food items we've tried are tasty. Give the daily homemade soup a try and get sriracha for your chips.

I absolutely loved their lavender coffee! The staff were wonderful.

I love the chocolate chip scones, biscuits and gravy, turkey avocado sandwich, and BBQ chicken salad. The environment is relaxing and peaceful. The lattes are really good as well. Everything is made fresh daily. I definitely recommend.

Everything about this place is wonderful and today I learned they make their own chai. Best muffins in town, they're always friendly. I've literally never had a bad experience. My only complaint is that they don't have online ordering but honestly they're so good it really doesn't matter.
