I got a mocha latte and my friend got a frappe. Both were exceptional, and the service was prompt and friendly.

This is a relatively small coffee shop that is pretty full on Thursdays and Fridays (days they are serving fry bread) during the lunch hour. Great frybread taco! I really didn't think I was too hungry but ended up eating the entire taco which is the size of a personal pizza. We didn't have to wait long. The staff was very friendly and interacted with the customers even after they had gotten their food. Laughs were shared with strangers and there a quite a regulars that make it feel homey. Its a very community driven spot. I got their wifi on my phone but then couldn't connect on my laptop. There are outlets available. I would say this is a lunch spot more than sit and work on your laptop place. Plenty of street parking as I feel the parking lot was quite small and may be hard to get out of.

I love supporting local shops and love that it is for the native American community! Coffee was yummy and they have a whole bunch of fliers showing what's going on in the native community. Helping bring our culture and sponsor other natives. ❤️Dietary restrictions: Have substitutes for milk.

Food: We got the veggie garbage fry bread and it was everything I could have imagined. It was fresh and tasted amazing. I could have eaten a whole one by myself but I wanted my husband to try it too. It's better than regular pizza. I wish I could get this in California.Service: It was top-notch, the staff was super friendly and informative. They seem to know everyone walking through and I love the fact that they take care of their elders. It was super cool to hear that some of the actors from Reservation Dogs stopped by there too.Ambiance: The vibe is chill, people are eating, hanging out, and enjoying their drinks and/food. There was plenty of parking and we were fortunate enough to go look at the exhibit too.

Overall (2.7 stars composite score):Decent neighborhood joint. Drinks and food are kind of average and at standard pricing. They could put in some effort into making the place cleaner.Drinks/Food (60% of 1.5 star total): .9 Stars.Latte was kind of lukewarm and nowhere sweet enough.Burritos were pre-made and microwaved.Unfortunately, the tortilla stuck to the paper and it kind of fell apart.Service (70% of 1 star total): .7 starsEmployee vibes were pretty friendly, but not overly warm.Value (70% of 1/2 star total):All pricing was pretty standard.WiFi/Power (50% of 1/2 star total): .25 starsWifi wasn't working at all.Plenty of power outlets though.Seating (70% of 1/2 star total): .35 starsAdequate seating. I liked the abundance of rail seating, although the tables were all lopsided.Atmosphere (50% of 1 star total): .5 stars.Restrooms require a key. It smelled kind of bad and wasn't very clean. There were a lot of flies buzzing around, and the staff wasn't willing to deal with it. No music either.

A hidden gem! Pow Wow Grounds is the best. Indigenous owned, cozy and supporting the local community.Service: is always great- they are friendly, fast and supporting the community. Upholding the true Native cultural values, consider donating to their “elder cup" which allows our elders to get coffee they deserve but otherwise could not do.Food: amazing! Their coffee, frappes and drinks are the best! Fresh, tasty and leave you feeling refreshed afterwards. Just my absolute favorite and wished I lived closer. Also, their bakery is wonderful. The fry bread on Fridays is to die for- but come early to get it! I haven’t tried the soup but heard it is amazing!Atmosphere: cozy and filled with indigenous culture. You can buy shirts and at times other beading. They have free books for kids, a connected art gallery and local post guides.Highly recommend this place!!
