This is going to be my new spot!
Came in around 7pm and studied on a comfy couch until midnight. I got the açaí bowl, and ended up ordering another one a few hours later! It was delicious, the picture does not do it justice. Service was great, friendly and fast!
The reviews complaining about price are clearly coming from people who have no idea how much it costs to run a restaurant. For the quality of the food and drinks, you are definitely getting what you pay for. Portions are generous, ingredients are great quality, food is delicious and filling. Prices are no different from what I see literally everywhere in GR.
I cannot study at home even if my life depended on it, so finding a place that is open 7am-1am every day is going to be a LIFESAVER this semester. Just having found another place that serves food late at night in general is fantastic, you don’t really see that anymore after Covid.
My only recommendation would be to bring headphones if music and talking distracts you, but that’s the case with any cafe really. I put my white noise on and was able to get so much done.
Overall 10/10 experience!
Parking: There are plenty of side streets if you want free parking (people seem to forget that walking a block or two when parking in the city is normal)
Otherwise there is street parking that is paid, but it’s free after 7pm.

Looking for afternoon coffee options can be somewhat limiting. Midnight Express Cafe is an excellent options. The barista was friendly and efficient. Got my caffeine fix to go, but glanced around while I waited for coffee.
Plenty of tables for dine in options. The cafe was clean. And best there were a few places for coffee doctoring. Sugar packets, stir sticks, and sleeves were all stock in no less than three places.
I would recommend. Thinking I'll come back to try the food.

Cute interior, nice staff, but food was very overpriced and nothing crazy. Grilled cheese "panini" is just slices of cheese melted between some bread, worth like $2 that you can easily make at home, and costs $9.50. Hot honey sandwich is $13.50 and on the small side, not the most flavorful. Overall, not the worst place I've been but certainly overpriced.

Ordered an egg bagel morning sandwich and a latte. Latte came out in 10 min and the sandwich took +20 min, which is ridiculously too long for a cafe. While the sandwich looked good, the eggs were freezing cold, which means those eggs are premade and stored in freezer/fridge so it makes no sense as to why it took 20 min to make. Not happy with the price of this sandwich for the quality. Atmosphere was nice, but many flies inside the establishment. Just overall not impressed by this place.

I really loved this place! Open late and tons of great menu options.
The food here is really nice, service is great, and the overall atmosphere is quite welcoming. It's also a great place to study, while having some food here.

The ladies working behind the counter were kept busy with our large group. They served with a smile ?. Clean bathrooms, cool atmosphere and decor.

The muffin was dry and the smoothie runny. Not worth the money

super cute place & easy going vibe. can imagine it’d be a great place to study since there’s lots of seating options and they’re open late! definitely pricey but super good açaí bowl that was filling! Iced coffee was decent.
Food isn't bad but I have ordered there three times and every time they don't have something in stock. It was three days, and
they were out of chocolate muffins, and they are still out! Now they are out of panini bread.. so I have an untoasted panini with cibatta and blueberry instead of chocolate. Nothing is what I wanted... I know first world problems, but this is the last order from there I will EVER do.
40 bucks for the wrong sandwich and muffin delivered.

Not much free parking. Lots of seating. Coffee and food, but very expensive. Open late!

Extremely overpriced. Smoothie wasn't anything special and the goat cheese sandwich was super thin (thin bread and not layered much on the inside). 3 of the 4 walls of the coffeeshop have giant windows which doesn't help the glare for computers, screens etc. which you'd think they'd have thought of for the design when they created this for students/professionals to study and work. I'm sure it's not a problem at night though which is good.
I probably won't be here again but at least I checked it out to find out.
