The place did not have the air conditioner running so I did not stick around. Pretty place though.Last week a friend brought me a chicken salad sandwich from your place.

We wound up here when The Clover and the Bee was packed, with a thirty-minute wait, on Presidents' Day. I didn't know anybody got that day off anymore, lol.Anyway, it was a lovely place for a first date, probably better suited to our bohemian natures than the other place would have been anyway. My companion ordered a hand pie/empanada, I ordered a spinach/goat cheese croissant, and we each got a chai latte. The croissant was so-so--they use whole pieces of baby spinach with the stem, and it seems to have gone through a toaster oven or something which singes the edges of the leaves. It tasted nice but I wish it had been a little daintier, first date and all. ? I greatly enjoyed the chai latte, but my companion is very picky about chai and just thought theirs was okay.I enjoyed the decor and found it easy to hear, even though the place was nearly full. The bathroom was clean and well-stocked.Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie options.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free tamales. Sugar-free syrups for lattes--a real rarity!

As I have also seen some others state here, the older woman who works there, some people on here say she is the owner, was extremely rude to me and my fiancé while attending one of their open mic night sessions. We just wanted to come and enjoy the music (while also buying some treats from the counter and spending our money) but as soon as we walked in the woman looked at us and spoke to us like we had no right being there. I was even thinking about coming back to play music sometime but now I’m not sure. She made us feel AWFUL. All we did was walk in, order food and sit down but the amount of passive aggression and arrogance she showed us in that time was insane. It’s a shame because everyone else we’ve met there was amazing but we don’t know if we’ll ever be back.Update: Ah yes, apparently based on the owners reply here, I was being “smug” haha. The weird passive aggression started as soon as we walked in the door before I would have even had a chance to say anything. And yes, my fiancé was reduced to tears based on her treatment of us. In every negative review they have they never take responsibility and instead come back with childish excuses for bad behavior. There are MULTIPLE one star reviews all based on this one lady. A bit of a pattern don’t you think lady?

It's a cute little place run by great people. The outdoor live music events are very nice. The back gently sloped hill creates an intimate venue, much nicer (and Covid safe) compared to the inside shows. In addition to their small but good food options, they have a small variety of alcoholic beverages. I took off one star because I eat vegan so their menu is limited for me, but most people will enjoy it. Coffee and tea options are very nice. Baked goods are yummy! All in all I'll keep coming back, especially for the outdoor events.

Awesome study & lunch spot. Coffee is so good I'm not an expert but I like it. Cure dogs come by so if you're an animal lover this is the spot!

A perfect spot to stay warm & cozy on a cold winter's day. This cafe is positively lovely as are the staff. Coffee came out plenty hot (an Almond Joy Mocha!) and the ham& cheese stuff croissant was so good. I don't eat eggs and it's hard to find spots with sandwiches already egg-free. I was pleasantly surprised this cafe had something delicious and filling good for the savory craving I had. I enjoyed myself for an hour or so nursing my beverage, reading a book and listening to their very relaxing live music (which is there every Saturday and Sunday). Plan your trip to give this place a visit, I'll be back!

Cozy place, has a big variety of coffee drinks. The music was nice and it wasn’t so loud that we couldn’t visit, even though we were right next to the guitarist. The staff were very friendly. I highly recommend this cute little coffee house.

Great guitar entertainment today. Delicious drip coffees that one can sample - light roast from Ethiopia, medium from Papa New Guinea, and the dark roast is from Columbia! Pastries, a limited breakfast menu and burrito’s (with a gluten-free option). See photographs!

Really quaint little place where you’ll feel comfortable.The people are really friendly and you can tell Services is their top priority. Little bit of outdoor dining space and a comfortable living room type atmosphere inside.The food is really good. I loved the peach mango smoothie.

The service is exceptional! The food is delicious and fairly priced. The wifi is great! The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy indoors and relaxing and euphoric outside. A lovely little respite from the bustle of the surrounding district. Way better than the Annex!
