Super cute coffee spot! Stopped in on a Friday morning around 10:30. The place was popping, but we still managed to find two seats. This would be a great place for meeting up with friends or getting some work done as long as you don’t mind the noise.
Despite the crowd, my latte was made quickly. The coffee was delicious and prices were normal.

At first, everything went smooth. Went in w/ friends and Matt (bartender) declined services stating our friend was intoxicated. We did not appreciate the “assumption”, nor were we acting irrational at any point.
Matt served us drinks (4shots) until his friends came inside the bar stating my friend was intoxicated.

I ordered a maple latte, I don't like sweet drinks, but enjoy a hint of flavor and my all time fave coffee drink ever is a maple bourbon latte I get in Nashville. When ordering, I asked please go VERY light on the syrup, as again I do not like sweet drinks. The drink I received was was overpoweringly sweet and tasted nothing of maple, but instead of simple syrup mixed with too much cinnamon (I am sensitive to cinnamon and did not know it was in the drink). I hate to complain so tried to drink it, but could not stomach it. As I paid $7 for this little thing, I thought I'd would be doing myself a disservice to not just say something. I totally didn't blame the bartender for his heavy pour on the simple, but thought he'd be glad to fix it since I was clear I wanted very light syrup and perhaps there was a misunderstanding on what that meant (although to be frank, I don't know how anyone could have considered that light). I kindly asked the bartender if we could do something about the sweetness level. He indifferently said he could put cold some cold brew in it (I got a hot drink??). I said, "wouldn't that make it cold?" Him:yep. I sit back down. Try to sip some more. I just can't do it! (Ive had probably 10% and my stomach hurts). I go back, again to ask if there is anything we could do about the sweetness, even some hot water! He cooly adds hot water to my drink. It's still too sweet. I leave. I was flabbergasted that he would not want to fix the drink/make me a new one. TLDR: The drink did not come how I ordered it. I kindly asked if we could fix the issue. He was rude, dismissive, and didn't fix it. I wasted $7, and felt nauseous upon leaving.

This place used to have a great vibe, but now it seems to be falling apart.

Love this place, I live close by and we come often for coffee and drinks in the evening .
My one qualm is taller bartender with the man bun is so consistently rude for no reason. It really spoils the mood when you have to order from him.
We brought some friends here recently and we ended up leaving after the bartender was so off putting and disrespectful to all of us. Honestly whack since there’s tons of other reviews about this individual as well

I love my chipotle breakfast burrito with a hot oat latte and seat at the outdoors area. The servers are really cool and happy.

The wanna be male model who works for minimum wage didn’t want to make me a coffee. Another confused hipster lost in his ego.

Drinks are ok and affordable but wouldn’t recommend the food, the burritos are not prepared fresh. Also, personally wasn’t crazy about the extremely loud 2010s music on a Saturday morning. The interior is nice but don’t go if you’re looking for a calm place to start your day.

Avoid this place.

Came here for a friend’s birthday party and these two wasted guys tried to start a fight with our whole group because we accidentally bumped into them while taking a group photo. The guys were so drunk they could barely talk or stand but they were apparently friends with one of bartenders who refused to do anything as these drunk guys tried to start a fist fight with two of the women in our group including the birthday girl. So we left.

Even before that incident the service here was painfully slow and drink orders came with an attitude — especially from the taller bartender.
