Closed for no reason at noon on a Friday :/ (no signs)

The reviews are heavily inflated here. They just don’t know how to make a latte. A latte is espresso milk and foam (should be 1/2 to 1” foam on top); not milk, more milk and espresso essence. I knew walking in the coffee would suck when I saw all the pump bottles for flavor the place was empty too.

The furnishings were that of a crèche in the 90s. A hodgepodge of stuff from the goodwill it looked like.

Delicious coffee and wonderful staff and location. Well-lit, comfortable seating, good variety of food and drinks. I had a seasonal coffee (Dolce something pumpkin spice?), tiramisu in a cup, and some delicious chocolate dessert on a cup. All were fantastic and the prices were reasonable. I wish I could take this place with me when I go back home!

Hands down the best place for a quiet breakfast if you want delicious food and delicious coffee. The owner's girlfriend has been here all 3 times with a very gracious, welcoming smile. The place is very clean and kept up with the times. You won't regret stopping in.

The chai latte was excellent and so was the blueberry muffin and lemon blueberry cake slice. The staff was friendly and there was a nice ambiance. We enjoyed hanging out for a bit and listening to the jazz on the speakers.

Had a "veggy" tamal and turned out to be chicken. I am not picky or strict vegetarian/vegan or allergic, but this could be a serious issue for the PNW fragile demographics that get offended easily. I am glad it was chicken it was very good and enjoyed it.
