Terrible coffee.
I love the ambiance and the food here! It’s so cute!
With that being said, I would not recommend going here if you have a bit allergy. I understand that it is an open kitchen and subject to contamination. But I asked the worker there if the carrot and zucchini muffin had nuts, and she confidently said no. After eating it, I couldn’t taste the nuts but I had an allergic reaction! I then called the place after, and noticed this was the owner on the phone this time, & double checked & asked if there was nuts, and the owner said yes.
Not criticizing the place at all because I love the grocery store, but this is for sure a learning moment for everyone just to be a bit more careful.
Owner is an old rude lady and this is my 2nd experience with her. Won’t be supporting again! It costs $0 to be nice
Was excited to try this place; however, the cashier at the register had terrible customer service. We inquired what flavor cookies were available for purchase, as nothing was labeled, and the cashier literally said “I don’t know…you could ask him over there”. Was not helpful nor courteous at all, needless to say we will not be returning nor recommending this place. Also the coffee was mid, tables were dirty, and chairs were also dirty with hair strands of previous customers on every seat. Additionally, it was not busy so she could have taken the time to offer us assistance.
Wow I just cannot speak highly enough of this place. We regularly stock up our freezer with their frozen dinners which is a huge help with a hungry family. All made from scratch, quality, healthy ingredients. The vibe when you visit makes you feel good too. I pop them in the oven frozen around 400-425F and they are ready within 90-120mins.
Soo disappointed drove 30 minutes for their coffee. I asked one of the workers for their most popular latte and was recommended “the signature latte” with no description of the drink whatsoever. I ended up hating the drink and wanting to exchange for something else and was not allowed to do so. Do not recommend.
8.9 - potato egg and cheese breakfast taco with the sauce was really good, turkey sandwich was good.
Food is over the top with salt! There are better ways to season food than salt. Use garlic powder, onion powder, herbs and spices. The food would be much better without all the salt which is not healthy.
Everything they have is fantastic. I love the cases of grab-and-go items. The food quality is so good.
Went because of the hype on TikTok. Wanted to grab a pastry and when I was standing looking at the uncovered pastries (they were on the side and not on the shelf), water dripped on us, we look up and it’s from an ac vent that is clearly moldy. The three in the right side of the store were. We informed one of the staff and they said “yeah, it leaks there, we’ve tried to get it fix 🤷♂” and that was it. That’s so gross. I can’t imagine onto what food that’s dripped into 🤢. I left without getting anything.

HAIR IN MY FOOD!! - I purchased a fresh entree- the pasta and meatballs. Finally after 45 in the oven I go to take a bite and second bite I see a massive hair! So gross!!!
One of the best neighborhood spots. Staff are always welcoming and kind. The owner is super friendly. It's a cozy little spot with delicious food. I love coming here for a morning coffee and get some work done.
Love the signature latte 10/10
The variety of food and flavors are awesome! The parking can be challenging because the area is small (hence Cottage)
They are trying to pass off Trader Joe’s rice in their own packaging. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Everything here is way overpriced and the amount of plastic they use is wild! nothing blew me away and not really ‘gourmet’. Also had their latte and it was the worst coffee.
