A hidden gem, great food & coffee at affordable prices.

Really wanted to like this local place, but the atmosphere was cold and uninviting, and the latte was a disappointment to say the least. Staff was fine but seemed to not know much beyond the basics of coffee.

Great staff. Some of the best I've ever encountered. Cool little off the grid place you may wanna check out. Great coffee. Food was awesome. And the whole place was really clean. Fairly priced. Worth stopping by.

I went here for the first time today and was blown away. To start, the staff was so friendly (shoutout Lesley and Chloe). Since it was my first time, they gave me suggestions based of my dietary restrictions (vegetarian) and my taste of coffee (sweeter). I got the Greek wrap without the chicken and added avocado based on Lesley's recommendation. It tasted great. Chloe suggested the Smores latte and it was exactly what I wanted. I sat in the Cafe for some time on my laptop (they offer wifi :)) and Chloe and Lesley were so friendly. They also had multiple regulars come in during this time and they remembered their orders; they clearly had built relationships with these customers.

Food is consistently good and fresh. Service slow and food handlers don't wear gloves while prepping

The owner was working, she was super friendly and cheerful. This is one of the best cafes in Lansing. A local joint you should certainly check out.

The coffee and food were good. However, only having one person to ring up customers and prepare orders caused such a delay in my morning when I just wanted to go in and out. I waited about 25 mins to get my coffees and food. I was a little annoyed that someone that might have been a regular customer/staff friend came after me and received their order first. Maybe they ordered online but still the wait was very long. It’s not the employees fault but, she did need help.

I love this shop! Great baristas and amazing coffee! I'm a regular and enjoy seeing the same baristas on a regular basis. Their coffee is delish!It is small and the seating can be uncomfortable after awhile because of the high tables, but I love stopping in for quick visits!

The best espresso coffee in EL is in Lansing, right here at this shop. Yes, I should know what is good coffee; I had coffee in Seattle. I would go to the end of the Earth to find good coffee. All the time that I complained why the coffee in all the hipster shops in EL taste like coffee water (read: weak), I didn't know that this gem here exists. Strongly recommend.

We loved it!!! We had tuna melts and pasta salad and they were awesome. Lady working (Said she was from Owosso) was super friendly and made great recommendations on what type of sparkling water drink to have. We are hooked and will be back.
