So I'm not from the area but I have about an hour to burn and decide to check this place out. I walk in and sit at the bar, the bartender immediately walks away from the bar, never greets me, never says someone will be right with you, nothing. So I sit for about 10 minutes and now I'm thinking maybe they aren't serving drinks at this time (12 pm) and as I'm thinking let me just get out of here, I see the bartender whispering to a coworker and looking at me. Now I feel super uncomfortable as they just look at me and talk amongst themselves but I still did not leave. A few moments later the other coworker comes up to me and doesn't say a thing, so I ask... "are you guys not serving drinks at this time?" And she just says yeah we are... at this moment I can tell what is going on but I order the drink anyway. Not an ounce of conversation after that just weird energy, clearly I wasn't welcome in this establishment and I won't ever walk back in again. Oh and by the way I'm a Hispanic male, take that as you will

Very cute, quaint, chill spot for all ages. Depends on what you’re looking for. Saw a few mothers on “play dates” or shall I say “Mommy & Me dates,” all very accommodating. If you’re going for a drink or coffee, it’s a great spot. Have several outlets in some of the seating areas, which allows ease for working remotely as well. I just put my headphones to be able to concentrate more. Not a rowdy place at all, as I mentioned super chill. Staff doesn’t bother you and you can stay as long as you want. Had the matcha latte, and it was unsweetened, which I appreciated as it’s more natural and I can sweeten to my own liking. Love the ambiance and decor, would go back! Oh, and I saw they have live music on Friday evenings, would love to check that out.Parking: 1-2 hr lotted and street parking

As I scrolled through some of the other reviews, I noticed they all pretty much hit it on the head with this place. It's cozy, the atmosphere and decor are welcoming, and from the second you walk in you feel like this is a place where they want you to sit down and relax. I haven't tried the food yet (other than the marble crumb cake which is good, though I'd love to see a plain, traditional crumb cake on the menu!)... but the drinks are worth the trip. Every coffee beverage I've tried has been creative and delicious, and you really can't go wrong with any selection. It's maybe a little pricier than like a Dunkin (think city Starbucks prices), but for the quality of the drinks and the incredible staff (plus the fully stocked bar for evening cocktails) it's definitely worth a visit!

The ambiance, the food, the staff were all wonderful. I just found it a little odd that there are no prices listed anywhere. Not on the menu online, not in the store, nowhere. You order blindly and then pay what they ask. It wasn't overly priced but it would be nice to know what I'm paying BEFORE I order. My apologies if I missed it but I thought I looked pretty close.

Just stopped in for a coffee and mushroom barley soup . If you're a local you know this used to be RS Jones . The cool vibe continues ! As you step in there is a variety of seating including : booths , high tops , couches and tables! the decor is eclectic and fun . The lighting provides enough to do some work , but not too much to feel like it's bright . If you would prefer or are dropping in for a drink , you can sit at the bar! Yes ...coffee , liquor and food. Service was attentive and polite . They offer savory and sweet options . I tried the mushroom barley soup which was thick , hot and mushroomy! Very satisfying on a cold day . ! I also chose the crème brûlée hot latte. Creamy , light and yummy This is a stop i would certainly factor into my work day !

Great atmosphere, excellent coffee, and friendly staff -- would highly
Came here with a friend, and I must say, while the coffee was amazing, the little cake that I ordered wasn’t exactly…. fresh, to say the least. Everything was great, minus the cake. WiFi good, and great atmosphere.

Really love the atmosphere and ambience here..the coffee and sandwiches are good and the ambiance is super cozy. Can’t help but notice that they are very friendly to certain people and cold to others. We are always super nice to them but feels like the women there don’t like us for some reason. Going to give hard bean and the spot in bellmore more run moving forward

I’ve driven by a few times and finally stopped in - so glad I did. They made the best iced latte I’ve had in a long time. The pastry case was too tempting and didn’t disappoint. I’ll be back!
Dog friendly coffee shop. Love the vibe.
