Cute, cozy coffee shop with a great atmosphere for work.

Excellent coffee, outstanding service. Murad was amazing. He knows his stuff and was so helpful, patient, and was just so great. We will definitely be back!

Good location and nice employee/manager. The coffee is good, just not noteworthy. Would go if I was in the neighborhood again.

Love the space and vibe. Low key and relaxing. Generally pretty quiet so it's great to have a nice conversation.

Really nice/thoughtful/calm/peaceful staff. Pleasant space. Much better than average coffee. Very cool t-shirts!

Coffee was pretty mediocre. Ordered the Cardamom latte, could only taste milk with a tiny bit of bitter from the coffee. Cardamom wasn’t present.

Barista w/ blue hair was rude and unfriendly. Didn’t know how to make a basic latte.

Disprectful response from Ownership regarding review. Not sure why the reference on 2nd time for my review. Try better... perhaps a more appropriate response would be- I'm sorry that was your experience. We aim to please all clients, and will work w/ our team members to make your next visit a great experience

The barista with blue hair has attitude- also please wipe down your tables - entire place is dirty.

Update: Wow! Great business response- I’m gay- so trust me there was no flirting. Good luck with your dirty coffee shop.

It’s explicably unpleasant staff. The coffee was fine and it’s totally normal to sweeten coffee with a variety of sweeteners. I’m a honey person. Added honey when picking up my drink, used a spoon to stir it in - also a totally normal coffee-preparing activity. The staff person lost their mind, screaming at me, ‘give me that spoon!’ I quickly acquiesced the spoon to them so they could officiously and loudly with great disgust throw it in a bus tub. Apparently, well-stirred honey is of great umbrage in the ‘no soup for you!’ vein. It never occurred to me using a standard utensil in a standard manner could be so problematic. I apologize for sweetening and stirring my coffee in your coffee shop. However, not enjoying being screamed at, I am hesitant to return.

Auto-machine espresso maker. Watery, flavorless americano.

The caramel latte is everything I have ever dreamed of.
Seating is excellent yet limited.
