We got an iced coffee and 2 different types of iced chai tea, the coffee was good but the teas were so light that you only tasted milk. I'd wouldn't be back specifically for that but I'd stop by if I was in the area just because I like their space. It's located inside of a apartment complex and office park. Conveniently located in the lobby area along with a bar and a small kitchen restaurant. It offers space for working or socializing while you sip your drink. They had books but seems to be for sale so I don't know if you could read them there.

Had an appointment in the area and needed a coffee shop nearby to work for the day. I am SO glad that I found this little gem!! I had a lavender matcha and it was fantastic. I recommend getting lunch from Silvie’s, attached to the same lobby area (try the pastor quesadilla). Great service, excellent vibes, strong WiFi, and outlets everywhere. If I lived in the area, this would be my new spot!!

The chai was delicious, but Josh, the barista, was the star of the show. He remembered me and my order even though it had been a month since I'd been there and I've only visited three times prior!! I felt seen and cared for. Five stars for Josh! It's a great place to study, work or have a one on one meeting. Lots of outlets and fast wifi.

Coffee tasted great with good ratio however there was no latte art which was sad considering we’re in the art district. Breakfast burrito would have tasted better if the cheese was slightly melted but it was still cold when delivered to us. Interesting choice of music played. Very hip location but also confusing to get to since it’s attached to an apartment complex.
