Maybe the best lunch and breakfast option close to campus. Clean, quick, friendly.

I love the vibes of this place, the food is pretty good and they have a lot of options for breakfast and lunch. BUT, there drinks all have zero flavor. I have tried coffee, I have tried chai, and I have even tried there smoothies. The smoothie I got waes Green Dream and it tasted like blended up water. The consistency was good but I couldn't taste the banana, pineapple, or any of the other fruit flavors that were supposed to be here. So if you are looking for a great coffee shop this isn't the place. But if your looking for a cute study spot and great food this is the place for you.

A great place to have a beverage, study, and chat with friends! I love the atmosphere here. They even gave my baby a “little bearista” sticker which was so precious!

Food and drinks are always great, but the customer service is little to none. There too busy laughing and talking to each other and messing around making there own drinks that service takes way longer than it should. Never had a problem with this place besides what seems to be no management on the floor and college kids that don’t even want to be working in the moment. Food/drinks is awesome, service horrible.

Very disappointed google wouldn’t let me leave more than a five star review. I mean are you kidding me!? The place is to die for, talk about a welcoming feeling when you walk in the door. The staff treats everyone in such a warming way, the food is an expirence from the first bite and the coffee… tastes of bliss and nastolgia. This place is a true gem.

45 mins for a BAGLE! Every family after us got there food, my 2 friends got there drinks and finished it and when I asked the girl she was not very nice about it no apology or nothing. You would think it being over priced it would at least come fast or good neither of those standards met. I should have gotten a refund for this dank bagle. Do not come here if you know what’s good for u. All this for one bagle

I stopped in for the 1st time today to grab a pickup order. I heard from some friends that the food was really good.
I was very impressed with the panini. It had turkey, apples and fig jam (which was a nice twist).
It didn’t take long for the food to be done and was very tasty! I’ll be back!
Also, it’s right off a bike path! I ride by it often and will have to stop when I need to refuel. 😋

Pet-friendly patio! Decent menu and decent prices. Good for a quick bite or traditional coffee shop menu.
Great place!
Staff were super friendly and informative on what I could have with my gluten restrictions.
Everything was made fresh to order and was really delicious.
If there was any one thing that was frustrating… Google Maps sent me past the location and over to Dormitory for the college.
Thankfully there were students outside, who were able to point me back into the right direction.
Definitely would eat here again and have their coffee.

This is the first coffee shop that my first time experience was great not only did all three baristas take my accommodation request seriously but did it without hesitation and a smile and everyone super friendly even one of the managers made sure she got my request right there were other things lived about this place is the atmosphere love how you can sit at the coffee bar top and watch them make everything or you can just sit in a Table and relax I did both drank my toffee nut latte at a table and ate my bagel and cream cheese at the coffee bar definitely stopping in again both the coffee and bagel I had were excellent and if anyone has requests like I did this is the first cafe( besides my regular one I go to on my travels) that takes requests and accommodation everyone seriously

Small college hangout. Burger was good but nothing exciting. Rather pricey.
