First time here and was welcomed with such warmth and genuine hospitality. Registered for the Gay walk supporting Trans. Had a fabulous time. Danny was our walking Leader. He did fabulous, no one got lost or kidnapped by aliens.

Coffee beans are perfect. Owners and staff are always friendly and make great coffee. Dog bowl outside is always appreciated for our 4 legged friends. Great little local spot to enjoy good coffee and peaceful surroundings.

Vegetarian options: Both veggie and vegan options daily.

Manager Tonis was very rude to my daughter. Attitude for no reason. Get off your phone during work or at least while up front.

Visited this local spot for the first time in a long time! It was packed when we went on a Saturday morning. I ordered a nonfat latte and my husband ordered cold brew and a breakfast burrito. The burrito was delicious! We both enjoyed our coffee and the overall vibe of the place. I love how inclusive they are. We've definitely gone back a couple of times since to grab coffee or a burrito on the go.

I’m a huge coffee fan. But I’m from Europe and the way how we drink coffee differs from USA. This is the first place where I found coffee that tastes like at home❤️I like service and atmosphere. Thing that i didn’t like is that in americano coffee they add too much water. If you will move wrong holding your to-go cup you will spill very hot coffee all over you. And I have this problem all the time. It could be better if you guys leave some space in a cup like 0,7 inches and taste will be not that watery and coffee will not spill.

Pros: flavorful, well-made coffee; two roasts to choose from; delicious coffee cake muffin (and I am extremely picky about muffins); friendly service with a smile; plenty of seating

Cons: expensive for those on a tight budget ($3.30 for 8 oz. drip); decorating aesthetic unappealing (to me); only light roast drip coffee and no decaf drip; uncomfortably chilly; LGBTQ promotion seems almost as important as the coffee.

Bottom line: I'm increasingly against supporting businesses that don't take a neutral stance on ideology and politics--and am especially tired of secular businesses that make ideology/ politics (of any perspective) an inherent part of their vibe--so this place was a turn-off from the moment I walked through the door. In fact, I almost walked out and only stayed because I really wanted to try their highly recommended coffee. However, the bakery case, something about which tend to be extremely critical, might draw me back sometime. It was pretty impressive. The coffee was good but too light for me. It could have just been a fluke, though. Perhaps they offer medium and dark other days.

One of the best blueberry scones I’ve ever eaten. It’s perfect. Also got a salted caramel cold brew and it’s delish. Will be back!
