Felt a little crowded but overall really nice. The downtown shop is more accommodating to larger groups. We will definitely come back.

Best iced blueberry latte I’ve ever had! Joe was so hospitable and made my airport pit stop a great experience. Lots of small tables and people working.

They were super kind and had a great selection of drinks. I did drink there and would have hoped for an actual mug over a to go cup. And they never heated my refrigerated scone… but overall it was good

Not having a changing table in the bathroom, as a mom of two; is super disappointing to say the least. If you want to be known as family-friendly, then get a diaper changing table

Do you guys also set the prices for insulin? You seem to have adopted the same unethical principals towards pricing. Charging $6 for a 12oz Natalie’s lemonade that retails for $3.00 is insane, especially for a product that is already extortionately marked up at MSRP. A greedy money grab, for what? To alienate your local clients, and make yourselves appear spineless. I requested a refund for the lemonade, drinking it made me feel sick. Yet to see that refund. Second state is gross.

Marlie Miranda!

The maple cardamom syrup for lattes they have is absolutely wonderful! Friendly staff and fast service. I wish I would have gotten to enjoy more of my latte before I accidentally spilled it all over my car lol!

Not a great coffee shop. Came here to do some work with a business partner between 7:30-8:30AM. Ordered a mug of coffee (which was very bitter). Was surprised at the price for a 12oz pour, but I was more surprised when I came up about 30min later to order some food and get a refill. Thought I was just paying for a pastry, but then I learned they charge full price for a drip refill. Not sure why I said ok and didn’t just say no considering the coffee wasn’t great.

I understand paying full price for a new beverage, but full price for drip coffee in a mug was crazy to me. I haven’t been to a coffee shop before that doesn’t do refills on drip. Even Starbucks gives you free refills.

2nd time here and it’s so unremarkable I didn’t even remember I had been here before until I pulled in the parking lot.

Great coffee, a few vegan options in their pastries and breakfast options, great staff and fast service. However I regret that a somehow hip coffee shop charges extra in 2024 for non dairy cruelty free milk alternatives, especially with most non dairy milks costing the same or less than regular milk - no good reason for this practice, which ultimately discourages people from trying options that don’t involve animal exploitation.

Service was friendly and quick, espresso tasted great - not too burnt - and the gluten free waffle was delicious! The interior left a little to be desired, but overall it was a good little shop.
