Great coffee and the smashed waffles are fantastic
Went for breakfast. The first round of Americanos were pretty good. We waited 25 minutes for two basic breakfast items, one was an avocado toast, and the other was a burrito wrap. The avocado toast was just one slice of bread, and my husband only ate half of the burrito saying it was just mediocre. People who came into the store after us got their food served ahead of us. On the delayed food, we gave them the benefit of doubt because there were a few people around. We decided to have another coffee and try a waffle. The place was very quiet at this time. After 10 minutes, the waffle arrived. It was no bigger than the size of the palm of a hand. It was drowned in syrup. The coffees did not show up. We inquired about the coffees and told that they would be right out. It was only when I asked when the coffees would arrive that they started making them. This second round of coffees were weak and tasteless. Definitely will not be going back, this place is over hyped. Save yourself the time and trouble and go somewhere else. You’ll have a better experience anywhere else that serves basic coffee and food items. Pity, the place has potential.
Highly unreliable online ordering system. Orders consistently don’t go through on their end. You show up at the store and then they start working on it. Ends up taking 45 min to an hour for even 2 or 3 items. Food and service is decent if you ignore the terrible online ordering system.
I really enjoyed the place and the service, but my boyfriend and I got black cold brew and a black nitro cold brew and they really tasted off. It might’ve tasted better with milk, but that wasn’t what we were after
I can’t critique the other drinks and might give it a try another time, but I wouldn’t recommend the cold brew options here
Great friendly service
Great place, with good music, food, and coffee! I will be back. And bonus for the cute bathroom artwork haha
Two complaints: 1. don’t order online and 2. this place needs better iced coffee lids. Had a pretty disappointing first experience. Placed an online order and arrived 25 minutes later. Asked the lady about our order: “yeah, we got it, it’s not ready.” Continued to wait an additional 15 minutes, watching people place orders and receive their food/drinks before us. Watched the baked goods we had ordered sell out. Finally received our drinks which were spilling all over the place because the lids are too big for the cups (and continued to make a mess in our car). Then the lady tossed one muffin on the counter and then told us she refunded us for the other one because it sold out. Didn’t bother to offer one of the other ones or anything. Very rude frustrating experience for mediocre coffee at best. Some customer service training is definitely needed for that Sunday morning shift, better lids need to be ordered, and the online order processing needs significant improvement.

Very rude staff working here. Drinks were messy and tasted awful, atmosphere not very inviting. Starbucks is down the road.

Ordered an iced chai and coffee to go. Maybe their food is what makes them stand out, but the drinks were just fine. Coffee had an off after-taste, but still edible. I appreciate their vegan options, so I will definitely be back to give those a try.

OMG this place is so cute and gorgeously done❤️‼️We stopped here after a doctor's appointment with the kids and everyone loved it! The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and super helpful. The atmosphere was like a cute coffee shop that is family friendly. And it was gorgeous on the inside. My son only eats bacon (Autism) for breakfast and they made him a whole plate! ? he was beyond ecstatic! We would definitely visit here again ❤️
Kid-friendliness: My boys loved it here. Wi-Fi was available and my Lil gamers greatly appreciated it ?!
Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible parking and I was able to use my rollator/ walker throughout the store with no problems. No automatic door opener, but the door was lightweight steel, so no difficulty getting in.

Love the waffle sandwiches!! They are so stinkin good and such a great value. It’s crazy how delicious!!
Mostly happy with the coffee. Usually a specialty latte or cappuccino hits consistently. However, the cold brew isn’t that great and I recently had a hot chai that was so clove heavy that it numbed my mouth as I drank it. Had to toss it. But the waffles keep me coming back!
