Great service, great coffee and food. All around it's a good coffee shop. There is parking spaces on the street, outside seating, and there are plenty of seats inside.

Dropped by to get a cup of coffee and work. Such a cute place! They have great indoor seating and cute outdoor space (can get a bit pout if cars are driving by). They use Sweetbloom Roasters for drip and tasted so good. Would love to come back and try other drinks and food!

This is a wonderful place to spend some time, read a book, get some work done or meet with friends. I would give the vibe 6 stars if I could. The staff is friendly and efficient. There is a little lack of knowledge about their beans but the coffee is tasty. I had a good espresso, a golden chai and a pastry. All were good and worth the calories. This place is definitely worth going out of your way to accomplish that slow start to your day.

Excellent drinks in a fun ambiance. Much better to go alone or in a small group as seating is spaced for 1:1 style chats.
