Walking in it was a warm welcoming atmosphere. You had a lovely gentleman at the counter greeting you in song 🎵 such a fantastic attitude you could just tell he wanted to be there. My boyfriend and I ordered the breakfast pastrino and please let me tell you DO NOT SKIP OUT ON THIS! Such a flaky, buttery, savory, slightly sweet wrap 😋 I got the pumpkin spice latte, it wasn't like any other pumpkin spice I've tried not too sweet definitely for coffee lovers! My boyfriend got the Caramel Gorilla Chilla and it was so good I was sipping off his 🤭 Such amazing service, nice welcoming calm atmosphere definitely wish we could come back but we live in NH 🥲

Sadly understaffed and the coffee here is mediocre at best. My cafe latte was tepid and tasteless. They had porcelain cups but I still got mine in a paper cup. Service was slow and slap dashed. It was a waste of money and a waste of coffee and my time. I just pitched it.
The place was a tad dirty.

Came here to get a coffee given the high reviews I saw. Ordered a large Iced Latte which came out to an astounding $9.42.

After ordering and the cashier/barista going off to make the coffee another person comes to check the screen. The previous worker turns asks him “Didn’t Tip?” He replied “Yes” and they shared an annoyed glance. Her demeanor visibly changed and the interaction turned sour from there.

Aside the fact that it doesn’t make sense to tip BEFORE you receive something, talking like this about a customer in a language you don’t think they understand is poor behavior.

Will not return, there are an incredible array of coffeeshops such that you don’t have to deal with this type of behavior

Cool atmosphere for an early coffee and breakfast before the day begins. Awesome sandwiches that I asked to make without the meats and super fresh cheese. Loved it.

WiFi wasn't working and person working couldn't help. Just said well mine is working. Wouldn't have bought coffee or blueberry muffin if I knew I couldnt get it to work. So I left. I don't recall if I liked coffee or muffin

I’ve tried their pumpkin spice latte. It was delicious and not too sweet. The service was satisfactory. They don’t have that many comfortable seats which was the only minus.

The staff's attention to detail matches the kitchen's precision. Every dish was notably delicious. The team combines speed with sincere friendliness. The place succeeds with its comfort, cleanliness, and looks. I'm truly fond of this spot.

Nice, homey atmosphere and incredible coffee. I ordered the vanilla latte and enjoyed the chai I tried. The man at the counter had great energy and was very personable. Definitely recommend!
