I stopped by this place for brunch and really enjoyed it. It’s a pretty cool little spot — cozy but lively. I had a mimosa and a breakfast burrito, both of which were really good. The atmosphere stood out to me — they had several small vendors set up inside selling jewelry, baked goods, and even some vintage clothing. It looks like they may regularly rotate vendors and host different events throughout the week, which adds a creative and community-driven vibe. There’s also some nice outdoor seating, perfect for a relaxed morning or afternoon. Overall, it’s a fun, unique spot with good food, good drinks, and a lot of personality.

Delicious breakfast burritos and lattes! Peppermint mocha was warm and great for the cold morning. Nutella pastry was a tad dry but flavor was good Cute little place with pop-up events inside and nice workers!

What a fun little spot for a bite and cocktails! Clean, neat, and run by a very friendly and upbeat staff, the food was excellent and the drinks very creative - though I’ll skip the lavender infused one - can you say “laundry detergent”? - but no judgments for those who go for it! Fantastic waffle with blueberries and very yummy pretzel - the mustard dip was like wow! Stop in here and enjoy! You won’t be disappointed.

Went for a cocktail before dinner. Super cute. Great service and the cocktails were good. Not an extensive liquor inventory but it was fun. Also had a live guitarist who was very good. They are also a coffee bar and they have food. We will go back.
