I almost didn't want to tell y'all - this place is perfect. Amazing small bites, great wine selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff, comfortable seating, music was at a reasonable volume. All of this with dedicated parking?! 10/10. I'll be back for sure!

Cute little coffee house/wine bar/hangout place we recently discovered, wish we had gone here earlier . They have small eats and amazing wine, good WiFi . We had a pleasant time hanging out and they also had live music on a Saturday evening, ambiance was great! The gluten free chocolate cake was good . And we also ordered the almonds which was decent and flavored right . Cabernet Sauvignon was the best out of the red wine we tried and definitely recommend it . Plan on coming back during a weekday to just chill and work here with some wine and eats .

Cool place to check out Texas wine. Very causal and allows you to linger for a while. Our dog could be on the patio. Great charcuterie. Wines were quite good.

Overall a gem. It’s made me rethink how communities should be built around restaurants and stores in this neighborhood. Their wine selection is awesome. Love walking my dog here for a morning cup of coffee on the patio.

This wonderful spot has become a place I frequently go to in my neighborhood for coffee and pastries. We've taken friends their for wine and conversation. And occasionally several of us in the neighborhood will meet up there. The place has an outstanding selection wine, great coffee, and comfortable atmosphere.

I recently had my birthday party here and enjoyed my experience. However, it was frustrating that half the venue had multiple “Reserved” signs on all the tables. Some of which stayed empty the entire night. I checked their website days before my party and online it says they only take reservations for special events. I felt discouraged from contacting them for that reason. It would be helpful to have a more descriptive example of what this means (ie birthdays, work events, parties of 6+). My friends and I had to hop tables throughout the evening to find enough room for our group. My friends spent hundreds of dollars here, and the reviews of their experiences seem to be dismissed by management. This is disappointing because the wine bar is a great addition to the neighborhood.

Great coffee shop in the Crestview area - the only issue, and a major issue, is they are always playing the music LOUD. It doesn't create a great environment for activities you'd typically do in coffee shops (reading, catching up with a friend, working/meeting a coworker). Will change to 5 starts if they make this adjustment!

This is one of those spots that are popular with the local area residents within the confines of this ages old strip center. There's lots of indoor and outdoor seating including a comfy spot in the middle of the room. The one thing that really got my attention was the fact that they have an extraordinary collection of eclectic wines that you would not normally ever see in most grocery stores. The selection really is remarkable and the dollar price is written directly on each bottle. Plenty of organic options to choose from. They also have a good selection of bottled ciders as well. You can buy wine by the glass, but I did not see any sake. Another plus about this place is that you can order a pizza from the "Little Deli" pizza place across the parking lot and bring it into this establishment. I have to admit if I lived close to this establishment, I'd be here more times than I could afford. And yes, this is one of those establishments that will hit you with a tip screen when you complete your order. Photos below help to fill in the blanks. ****1/2
Stopped by The Violet Crown for an afternoon of studying. The baristas were super friendly and made a delicious iced mocha. I noticed that alternative milks was included in the price which was a huge plus for me. There are large and small table options both inside and outside for any party size. Parking was very easy to find in the plaza. I loved the tiled bar area and the music playlist was top notch. Overall, vibes are immaculate. I'll be back!

Perfect spot in a quaint neighborhood. Across the street from Little Deli (arguably the best pizza in town - coming from a New York and New Haven native). Grab yourself a slice and a flight, followed by last minute groceries at Fresh Plus. Even better? If you live somewhere in the neighborhood, go ahead and take your bike for a leisure ride to fuel up. I ordered a flight for $25, 3 half pours. Marameo (White), Bifrost (Orange), and Cabernet (name is escaping me, but from Mendoza). All recommendations were made by Alex, and they did not disappoint! A pleasant surprise to be greeted by David, the manager, who we've crossed paths with before. We look forward to returning!

Can't speak to the food as I only had a glass of Brisas RoséFirst visit finally Sunday evening. Earlier in the week I stopped by the Pangea portfolio tasting.I formerly worked in a bottle shop that carried Pangea Selections and Classified Wine Imports among other fine importers/suppliers, so I had a lot of fun chatting and browsing!.Solid and thoughtful curation by the bottle and glass. Makes me wish I lived closer by (grew up decades ago in the Allandale area nearby).I hear Friday and Saturdays are busy here but Sunday is my vibe, but dang I was jonesin' for pizza and I forgot Little Deli is closed Sundays. Had a very pleasant and fun conversation with Abbie and her coworkers (forgot their names!). I'll try to stop by once a week for a glass or bottle! And I'll try to bring a wine friend next time!Cheers,Jon

Lovely wine selection and staff. Nice menu of shared and small bites. If you're carrying an appetite, grab a bottle to go here and open it up across the way at Little Deli over a pizza.

Thanks for your wine-professionals answer. Bottom line here is that you guys are not listening to your clients.FACTS:-A $100.00 bottle bill-that WAS warm.-wrong glasses-no ice bucket.-bday girl couldn't get reservations.-friend got a bill for $130 bottle - same situation.-poor first impression.-not returning.Why would anybody refuse ice bucket or a chilled champagne....pls do not respond. Learn.Poor first impression was like.... Cork fee: Pick your bottle and we'll charge you extra for opening it. Buy our champagne, but it will be warm, we don't have an ice bucket and no champagne glasses either. We don't take reservations, but tables have RESERVED metal signs everywhere. Funny fees requests.....
