I work in social services, so I meet a lot of people at coffee shops. This is the ONLY place I’ve been to that:
- Doesn’t give you the wifi unless you buy something
- Doesn’t let you use the bathroom unless you buy something
- The owner comes and talks to you every few minutes until you buy something
- The owner lies claiming “the health inspector doesn’t allow outside drinks”
- They don’t serve you water, even if you do buy something, again with this “health inspector” lie
This could be such a cool place! The owner is comically bad at his job
Love this place, super local, and locally owned. It’s a house so expect house vibes/size. YET WHO CARESSS it’s gorgeous and I love it. GO HERE.
This is my place!!! Just wish it was closer to home!
Tried to go but parking is garbage.
Great little spot. Love the chai. The owner and staff are very kind people.
A really pleasant and cool spot, especially for reading and hanging out with friends.
Relaxing place to enjoy a coffee. A great late in the day coffee spot.
Happen to come across this adorable little coffee house by chance. I had the iced chai and it was amazing. The service was top-notch. Our barista was so friendly and personable. And then to the top it off, we met the owner, Dale and he was so welcoming and interesting to talk to! He told us all about the history of his place. It is so unique and charming. Definitely will be coming back to this little gem!
Ordered a scone and a dirty chai. The beverage was hot and the flavors were well put together. The scone broke apart easily with a fork and the icing was to die for. There was only one person working the counter and making drinks, but the food and drink were ready inside 10 mins. Smallish tables but quiet, some outside seating in the front as well as the back. Would recommend.

Delicious coffee and chai, space to sit and chill, good sized tables, etc. what a real coffee shop should be like. Plus there's great pastry.

I'm really disappointed in the owner. I was visiting this coffee shop with my friends, and I got a slice of cake to share. I had a great interaction with the barista in the front, but when we sat back down, the owner said that we all needed to purchase something individually. We mentioned the fact that we're going to share the cake, and he just scoffed and replied with snarky comments. Then, he continued to check up on us and pressure us to leave or buy something. This isn't uncommon with coffee shops, but the general negative attitude and possible prejudice that was perceived was really unnecessary. I wanted to like this place, but the owner and apparently his history of this was disheartening.

Beautiful, unique coffee shop with a lot of coziness and charm. Lots of cozy seating, perfect for a fall or autumn visit. The chai latte I had was incredible, and I can't wait to come back to try their other flavors!

I will Always remember how I was discriminated against in this coffee shop when I was 20. I was with yt boys who were all from a 2nd ring suburb. We all ordered, got our drinks, and sat down. 10 minutes later A yt male coffee maker comes up and told me that they seen in camera that I finished my drink and either I order again or I have to leave. I hadn't even gotten halfway in my drink and showed the person. They told me I switched drinks with one of the people in my group. Most of the group had finished their coffees. I left and never went back.
