I used to love going here, the butterscotch latte was my to-go order. I'd read here, it was a safe oasis. The plants really brought a calm vibe with it. The previous reviews saying the owner is rude and has their own 'unwritten rules'.
My one particular experience that made me not go there anymore was the racism I experienced. I tried a drink, I didn't like it. I asked the barista if I could exchange it for another one or if there were any other troubleshooting options. She spoke to the manager for me. The barista said that the drink would be refunded and I could purchase another drink. With my credit card in my hand, I got my drink refunded and before I was able to purchase another drink, the manager said I couldn't. I was stunned and shocked, I must not have heard that right. She repeated herself, I told my co-worker and we left immediately and never returned back.
Go where you are respected.

One of my favorite cafes 🫶🏻 So cozy and beautiful 🌸

A delightful spot for coffee & brunch (or lunch!) amidst lush plants and potted flowers 🌿☕️🍳 The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and inviting. Although a bit on the pricier side, the quality of the environment, the specialty coffees, quality of food make it worthwhile. My only suggestion is to offer real porcelain cups for those enjoying their coffee inside. Check out the photos I’m uploading to see the beautiful setting!

Delicious coffee, the croissants are crusty on the outside, soft on the inside with a really delicious sweet glaze over the top, beautifully decorated and spaced for smaller groups. Although it is wheelchair accessible I do want real wheelchair users to know it is a tighter space and you could benefit from visiting during slower times as it was basically empty and my daughter with her powerchair still had yo be quite cautious in the space. The owner was very helpful in finding us a space that helped keep walkways clear while allowing us to comfortably eat. ***special note as I did not see this when I was looking but each table here has a label saying no laptops and books, which if I had known would have brought me elsewhere for my needs for this day but which is fine if you are just trying to enjoy company and atmosphere.

Came in on Mother's Day and it took 45 minutes to get our food. I of course understand that they were probably swamped with orders.
I will also say that if you pay with card, you'll get charged a 4.5% transaction fee. This isn't stated anywhere prior to paying. Not a great business practice guys come on. 4.5% is insane. They're probably passing on the fees from the credit card vendors to us.
The drinks and food were just fine when I went.

Cozy cafe with floral decor and chill vibes. The service was excellent and everything was delicious (I had the lemon curd Dutch baby and a double chocolate chip cookie). I recommend going a little earlier because it gets pretty busy by 10:30. They no longer have their dining shed but still have 2 outdoor bistro tables.

The service was fast and the cafe was well decorated, but we are not allow to read books nor use laptops (also no wifi). I recommend the salmon avocado toast and snow matcha latte but it’s a bit overpriced.

Love this place! The sweet potato latte is my favorite and the cookies are delicious. The ambience is just right because of the generous amount of plants around the entire place..
Just got kicked out because I was reading a book. Unbelievable. Thought this was a cafe and reading a book MIGHT BE OK. The owner said they would go out of business if customers read books there--literally. I paid $8.51 for an iced coffee and read a book for a little over an hour. I've been coming here since they first opened and supported them through COVID. I didn't mind when they kept adding more rules, but this was the last straw. I'll take my business elsewhere so they can stay in business. Good luck!

It’s a nice little gem close to bell boulevard. The place doesn’t have a lot of seating options but the atmosphere and the beautiful decor make up for it. Food is a bit overpriced but the food is great and the staff are genuinely very nice and courteous.

Good coffee and great atmosphere, lush plants everywhere. Pricey for what it is. Not a study spot (no wifi)

Expensive, not worthy. Very disappointed on the brunch here and will never come back again. The coffee and all drinks is decent. I order sweet potato latte is it was too sweet, my friend ordered Yuzu Matcha with less sugar and it taste better. I think the staff should ask if customer need regular sugar or less sugar, will provide better experience to customers. But the brunch was very disappointed. The menu looks fantastic since there are many options, however, the dishes I ordered were very awful. ❌Matcha crepe with ice cream is too sweet and the ice cream melt really fast, it makes me feels like I’m drinking a matcha soup with crepe. ❌The Avocado Toast is totally bland, two slide charge me $17. And the worst is the ❌pizza. I never can image they use a bagel to make a pizza, and it charged me $9 Overall, even though the atmosphere here is wonderful but I still NOT RECOMMEND TO OTHERS and won’t come back again.
⚠️⚠️⚠️After leaving this comment, the restaurant owner contacted me and framed me that I’m from other business and tried to report and remove my negative review. How can that’s how his business 4.4 review come?
