New in town, stopped by for a coffee. The mocha was good, but my danish pastry was moldy. When I asked for another to substitute, I was given a different type of pastry from the same display. Apple strudel was very stale and old tasting. Not impressed!

Good Food and Travel

Eclectic spot with a lounge vibe. The food was good but could be better. The chipotle sandwich and steak fries were delicious but the bacon was cold and tastes like it had been sitting out for a while. I really wanted to like the French toast but it had an eggy aftertaste although the great presentation. The staff were very friendly but don’t expect table service as that appears to be their business model (you order at the front and seat yourself). The different seating was welcoming and felt like a mix of casual and business. Overall a great vibe, I’d visit again to try their remaining menu items.

Loved the different empanadas, especially the Nutella and strawberry🤤. Cold lattes were great and so was the service and environment. Cozy place.

I thought this was going to be an actual collective\\coop given the name but that's doesn't seem the case, plus it wasn't immediately obvious to me that it's a church\\faith based business. The food and drinks are undeniably good tho.

Good quick food. I liked the Philly & mom said the empanadas were great. Togo latte was spot on

The BEST coffee and service!

I love this place. The staff are always friendly, the coffee drinks are tasty, and empanadas are delicious and perfectly cooked. They have a great variety of table sizes for varying group sizes and also some seating outside. It's not as closed in as some other coffee shops but the openness of the space has its own appeal as a well! Will definitely continue going back again and again.

Let me start out by saying this place is super cute and a nice spot to relax and just chill. But I had to wait almost 10min for someone to show up to make my pumpkin coffee and it didn't even taste like pumpkin. So that was a little disappointing. I also got a muffin, it was a little stale and it definitely wasn't made in house like they claim. I shop at Sam's Club as well. The little staff that I did see were kind of off-putting and slightly rude. Especially the larger woman that was eating and on the phone. I'm willing to give this place another go though. Maybe it was just a bad day or I ordered the wrong thing. Everyone has bad days.
