Love this cafe. The seating area is really cozy and the cold brew is a good size and really smooth for the brew and flavor profile.

Very cute and spacious cafe.

Delicious coffee and ambiance. So happy to have a local coffee shop near home and not another chain that cares more about their bottom line.

Beautiful space, amazing backyard

Excellent cafe in this neighborhood. Also incredible amount of seating in the back (plus patio). Perplexing.

My fav cafe in the neighborhood, they offer good coffee and non-caffeinated drinks as well as high quality food. The interior is clean and cozy and the backyard is great too!

I usually go here to study and relax. The atmosphere is great and has a room in the back with lots of seating. The worker is very nice and they have great food options

Great space with friendly owner and lots of seating if you’re looking to get work done or meet a friend. Had a good chai latte and look forward to trying more of the food options!

don't come here unless you're planning to wait over 35 minutes for your food. they may also forget your order!

This review is about sustainability only!

I am so relieved that your lovely coffee shop offers reusable mugs and dishware to patrons. But it seems like this option is not being communicated very clearly to those who are enjoying their beverages in house.

Many of us who were staying there—to work, read, or meet with friends—were indeed drinking from reusable mugs. But I would say about half of the clientele there was drinking out of throwaway plastic cups, headed for the landfill, incinerator, or our oceans.

By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. As a waterfront city, I would love to see more local cafés, restaurants, and businesses honoring the land on which we live, and the waters that we border, to help work toward a healthier environment for all.

Perhaps your barista could more explicitly ask patrons if they will be enjoying their drink to stay, and you could also put a sign by the bar, encouraging people to order their drink for here, in a mug. You could also feature customers on social with the reusable mugs, to make sure that people know about them.

Again, I really love this space, and the coffee was delicious, and I so appreciate that I was able to take advantage of your reusable mugs. I just wish that more people knew to ask for the same!

Thank you for considering how to help mitigate the plastic waste crisis.

Get the Korean Street Toast and thank me later.
