Nice place to chill, enjoy the music and eat delicious breakfast sandwiches.
We loved sweet pocket (toasted croissant with nutella and strawberries) and ultimate bagel (bacon, turkey, cheese, tomato and pesto) and washed down all that delicious food with black coffee.
Staff was friendly and welcoming.

Vegetarian options: There are a few options like sweet pocket, toasted bagel, croissant.

I love coming here for my morning coffee when I’m in SPI. It’s always good, and I usually end up adding a title or two to my home library as well. I introduced my wife to this place on my latest trip here, and she bought four books and said that the chai latte was wonderful!

Much better place than that place up the road (rhymes with Kylo’s) where the coffee isn’t bad, but you have to listen to the owner’s political ramblings while you wait for your drinks. Today, in just three minutes, he disparaged all Californians (for ruining Texas), vaxxers & maskers, Trump non-fans, and extolled his 2nd amendment rights (which he never took advantage of until Biden became president), and more about his life story. I’m sure he has a book on sale inside his little shop that you can purchase, or maybe an audiotape so you can play it at home while making your own coffee… You know, for the experience.

Very good coffee! We got some excellent suggestions from the barista as well. The coffee with the eclectic book collection makes this a great place to relax or meet friends.

I had the house coffee and breakfast croissant. Both the coffee and croissant were slightly burnt. I asked for my order for here but was given it to-go. I came to work for a few hours, and while they do have tables and electric outlets, the WIFI was terrible at barely 2Mbps. I don't think I'll be back. I should also add, the doorbell rings 3 times every time someone enters or leaves and should be tuned.

Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options available.

Parking: Parking is on the north side of the building, accessible from the side street.

Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly. Do not bring your kids to a coffee shop.

We stopped in here for breakfast and coffee. Good assortment of food and great coffee. Everything was great and we even perused the books and ended up buying a couple. Recommend stopping in for a great cup of coffee either hot or cold!

A true gem in SPI! Excellent coffee drinks and a good selection of books. We also tried their croissant sandwiches and really enjoyed them. I want to go back for the boba next :)

Vegetarian options: You can order any of their sandwiches without the meat.

Used to come here a lot, good boba tea. The last four or five times I’ve come, they say they have run out of boba. Probably won’t come back. Make sure to call ahead if you want boba. Otherwise, it’s great.

cutest place, great vibe, decent coffee and food. Ive been coming here for a couple of years. My only complaint is in my most recent visit, 11/9/2024 when I walked in the store it had an overpowering smell of Fabuloso cleaner. Call me biased because I don't like fabuloso, but I feel a coffee shop/book store should smell like idk coffee?books? I do appreciate that it was very clean.
