I stopped in yesterday as they have had excellent coffee in the past. An Americano was $3.96 which was reasonable and aligned with other coffee shops. Yesterday a 12oz Americano was $5.50! She told me they just had a 30% price increase. My opinion is this is too much for a cup of coffee! I won’t be back.

Went for coffee and was surprised when it came time to pay. The cost on the board said 4.50$ for an iced 16 Ounce latte and 4.50$ for an 8 Oz latte with flavor but I was charged 6$ for each! Couldn't find it marked anywhere that that was the new price and was astounded it was a 30% increase which they hadn't bothered to make it clear when ordering. When I realized the difference and asked about it, I was told it was written on the board that prices are subject to change.
Price increases are of course at the discretion of the business but current prices should be clearly indicated or told at the time of ordering.
The coffee was good but not that good.

Absolute vibe. The wrap was delicious, PNW Mocha really great, nice staff, chill music, good WiFi. Tons of cool local art on wall and tasty looking pastries. Can’t ask for anything else.

Came here to meet a friend and ordered a wrap sandwich. It was so awful I took two bites and that was all I could eat. There was one thing slice of turkey, some cheese that was supposed to be cream cheese but tasted like some spoiled cheese and it looked like white silly puffy. In the middle was a large amount of ice berg lettuce. $ 14.50 for this inside a tortilla.
It took the sandwiche up to the counter where I ordered and paid for it and the woman who worked there told me if she were to refund for for the sandwiche she would be fired. Her exact words. Did not offer something else and walked away.
I am not a person who takes writing a horrible review like this lightly but my experience was not only surprising but memorable that left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

Great atmosphere! Very good coffee they use. The only small problem - for such a great place - barista could be more professional!
Adding milk resided from making previous cup to a Macchiato coffee and even asking how much milk I want is such a dummy tone. Macchiato coffee should only have a spoon of milk foam on top of espresso and should not be mixed with milk like cappuccino. Professional must know the difference!
Also it could be very nice to have really tiny cups for ristretto, espresso and macchiato. Besides, they have a good choice of pastries. Though the counter lady suggested to heat them. So sorry she didn’t understand that heating puff pastry products could only spoil them. Also please, please - not suggest adding flavors like caramel to people who just want to appreciate a good coffee. Just leave this option on your blackboard for those who miss starbucks.:(

Super cute little place. It's usually really busy when I've been in, which makes it a bit cramped, but the food and drinks are great!

I only order my latte plain, so there is no hiding the use of subpar beans or poor techniques. This cafe used beans that have a mature and creamy taste all on their own. The barista who made the cup did not scald the milk, was able to get a good amount of foam without turning it into a cappuccino, and left a beautiful design on top.

Was looking for a comfortable spot to flip open my laptop while waiting - was pleased and surprised with the cool atmosphere but then blown away by the goat-cheese croissant and tasty pour-over coffee. Highly recommend. Well laid out for a solo stopover or for a lunch w friends.
