Love Flava!! One of my go-tos for the last 2 years (don’t know why it took me so long to leave a review…). Decor is beautiful - modern yet creative - and showcases local artists. Very clean. Great music that is not blasting. Perfect place for collaboration or focus work. The butter croissants are sooo good. Staff are friendly and the owner is AMAZING.

Flava has so much space to sit (lots of comfortable seating *and* outlets, which is rare in a coffee shop). Their drinks are also some of the best in the area, straight up - most coffee shops have the same brand of weak chai, but the chai I had at Flava was stellar.

Their Bob Marley is also amazing, either hot or iced, and they have a good selection of smoothies, bowls, and sandwiches.

Always love supporting local, BIPOC businesses. If I lived in the area, this would be totally my go to coffee shop. Coffee was great. I just had a pastry but looks like there’s a food menu too. Lots of seating available when I went, although early on a weekday. Parking is in the back. Amazing music. Great book selection from Black Garnet Books. I didn’t have much time to browse the selection but it is something to do for next time.
