Very nice coffee shop. Excellent espresso and por over. The batista were very knowledgeable and took time to give us a detailed introduction to pour overs. Outstanding experience!

Hands down the best latte I've ever had! We came back multiple times during our vacation to houston it was so good. I had the Maple Butter latte and the Jalapeño Ancho Chili latte. Service was really really great!

This third wave off the beaten path coffee shop run by coffee enthusists. I take my coffee pretty seriously, but these people take it to another level. The beans they serve are the same as the ones you can purchase and make at home-- Fusion Beans. The Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is one of the best examples of the cultivar that I've had. Again, this coffee shop takes its coffee seriously. If you want a frappechino, skip this place, but if you want a phenomenal pour over or spectacular espresso drinks, then this is your place.

Small local coffee shop with a quaint selection of small bites. Customer service is great. I purchased 2 chai lattes, a ham and cheese roll, and a chicken curry roll. Everything was delicious, although the rolls were lukewarm at best (hence the 4 star rating). They also support local artists by showcasing art and pottery available for purchase - I bought a really cute teacup set as a gift for a friend. Overall, would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed coffee shop with indoor/outdoor seating and you're not in a rush.

A true gem of Montrose. Some of the best espresso and pastries you can find in the city. Lovely staff. Promot service. One of if not the best coffee in Montrose. Plus they make all their syrups. Yum!

Went in for the first time to try a Yemen coffee and grab a snack. Service was awesome- friendly and helpful staff. I was told that the Yemen beans were low and was being offered as espresso. The barista was kind and recommended a Guatemalan bean instead. Appreciate the recommendation. I got to try both and compare. Loved that the espresso was offered with sparkling water, the proper way to drink. Unfortunately the water was flat. I also ordered a Ham and cheese croissant to go. It was heated in the microwave so the pastry was chewy instead of flaky. I guess I should have gotten the cookie instead. Will return again to give another try and be more specific with my order. Cute place. Variety of milks offered. Baristas were knowledgeable and welcoming. Great atmosphere. Thanks for the midday snack!

Ordered my usual…traditional macchiato. It was very sour. They remade me a new one and it was even worse. Not sure what’s going on, but if you can’t make espresso, your espresso drinks are going to suck. Also, nowhere to park now, so if you can’t walk here, skip this place.

Great coffee. Over busy staff but good coffee

Hard to judge but cappuccino was decent. I just chose wrong flavor. Honey butter was maybe not my thing. Ham cheese croissant was good. Small place but nice staff not far from hmns.

What a treat :-) decided to stop by and enjoy some delicious espresso and an honestly extremely beautiful pastry (didn’t know I could feel this way about pastries). Super sweet people, too. Thanks, guys!

Lovely coffee shop! I ordered a honey butter latte and it was perfect. They have a nice selection of fresh made foods as well. The folks behind the counter were super nice. Would definitely go back.

Really excellent third wave coffee shop with friendly service. They also sell Fusion coffee beans which are excellent.. Car parking isn't great so ride your bike!

Good local coffee shop. Super friendly staff always.

Terrible customer service. Baristas are condescending. They also have no sugar free syrups and only carry stevia because they’ve hopped on the bandwagon of originality that every other coffee shop has joined in making their “own syrups.” Here’s my bit of unsolicited advice since you all are so keen on it: It’s probably possible to make your own sugar free syrup, rather than being condescending when people ask if you have sugar free. Think of it as a stretch goal.As a note: When I’ve been here before, the coffee is just ok. Not good enough to compensate for the bad customer service.
