Really nice place to stop for a coffee and a read.
They also have a really good selection of design and architecture books.

Cafe is quaint but they could definitely put a bit more effort into making their matcha lattes. Although the matcha powder is pretty good quality its subpar preparation honestly resulted in the worst matcha latte I’ve drunk in a while. It was EXTREMELY clumpy to the point where I could feel powder all over my mouth. Considering they only put 1/2 teaspoon (max 1 teaspoon) of matcha it’s disappointing that so much of it settled at the bottom as powder. Ideally they could resolve this by sifting their matcha into the bowl and then whisking till frothy. The cafe was mostly empty when I came but the barista only whisked my matcha for about few seconds (this definitely also contributed to the clumsiness). Overall this place has good vibes but they could definitely be more detailed oriented towards their matcha as it was a bit disappointing to pay $9 for what I received.
A nice place!

This place warms my heart. We had a book launch event here and I was amazed at the turnout, the vibe, the hosting, everything. Come here and you will keep coming back. Sign up for mailing list to keep up.

I didn't want to post any bad reviews but reading the comments didn't resteain. Your barista guy IS rude and tired. I understand it's hard to find personnel but there are still plenty friendly people out there looking for job who know how to make coffee and love to read. Dude needs more rest

Not a bad place, but for a venue that is about contemplation (no laptop work, no wifi), seating is extremely uncomfortable and can’t say the music and ambience particularly inspiring. Coffee was ok if not barely warm. Overall, won’t come back.

Head Hi is a community focused shop dedicated to bringing people together to learn about music, photography, architecture, sculpture, writing, etc. Their atmosphere is beautiful and peaceful and filled with opportunities to read and explore. Staff are kind, service is thoughtful and intentional, pastries and coffee are excellent.

Went in yesterday to grab an iced coffee. I specifically ordered an Iced Vanilla Mocha with oat milk and the guy took my order and proceeded to make my drink.
Mind you the coffee was $7.89 - Very overpriced already.
I see him pouring regular milk, and I say hey is that regular milk and he says yes, and I tell him oh I wanted oat milk please. He responded to me, "That'll be extra" .... and I'm just like ok. I don't mind paying an extra .50 or .65 cent for oat milk.
At this moment I can tell he's a little flustered with me, but I'm being so nice and I know what I ordered because I’m lactose intolerance.
I then browse around the store and a min or two passes by and my "Iced coffee" is ready. but then I look at the coffee and it's hot. and now I'm replaying the ordering process in my head once again and I'm 1000% sure I ordered Iced coffee. Like there's not a doubt In my mind. I literally don't drink coffee unless it's iced.
So I politely say hey this is supposed to be Iced, and he looks at me and says maybe you should communicate that better, first the oat milk and now you want it iced.
He then tries to back track and tell me he can re-make it but also he mumbles something under his breath.
I simple tell him "You know what, it's ok" and I leave the establishment. I honestly couldn't even deal with the disrespectful attitude any longer and the thought of him for a 3rd time attempting to get my very simple order correct just baffled me.
I haven't dealt with such a rude and snobbish attitude in a while and this being my first time in the coffee shop left a horrible taste. Wasted $9 and surely will not be back.

very snobbish. a coffee shop in the 21st-century that doesn’t allow laptops or cell phones?! They even have a sign saying you can’t take pictures of any of the books they have on display because they don't want you buying them elsewhere? Just seems pretty petty and controlling to me. UPDATE: their response below is even more of the same... and yes, no duh, I will move on. I'm writing here to warn others who might not want what you do. good luck.
Cool cafe with interesting books for sale, great matcha

I’ve been here a few times since arriving in the neighborhood and it’s always great. They have a great selection of books and some nice candles etc as well. The coffee is great and so is the chai. Everyone is friendly and helpful.
