The moment I walked in the door , I knew the moment I noticed the scents of creative coffee speciality I knew …If you haven’t , you should , if you have , you loved it. If you didn’t I feel for you.If your looking for a craft coffee and traditional Cartel roaster is for you. I tried the CCL Wife had honey lavender matcha. Both beyond words.

the double shot espresso for $3.50 tastes like 17 day old cat urine that has been sitting out in the sun. it is also very small and looks to be about one shot. i worst espresso ever had in my life. also started raising prices and quality no have go down yahhh.

$5.00 for a cup of coffee... Not a latte, not a cappuccino... Not even a pour over... A regular cup of coffee... I want to be sympathetic about "inflation" but no, just no. I'm from San Francisco originally and coffee doesn't cost nearly that much at a mom and pop shop there. And the costs to do business are significantly higher, from employee pay to fuel/transport, rent/lease...etc... Fu&k I've had cheaper coffee on a airplane. That was literally the single most expensive cup of coffee anyone has tried to sell me. I wound up bikeing to the co-op and getting a cup of organic coffee for $2.00 ...on the same day ... with the same "inflation". Say what it is. Some corporate board or investment group wants to achieve record profit by jacking up prices and falling back on the "inflation" excuse. It was insulting.

My every morning coffee place, perfectly brewed and the crew here is awesome. Always a quick and happy stop for my day! Ps. Try the jalapeno popper!

We were staying about two blocks from here and wanted a midday coffee break. We walked over and the place seemed okay. It appears to be occupying a previous warehouse of some sort. The place is very large and cavernous with a little coffee bar in the middle. Strange and freaky artwork for sale is displayed on the walls with outrageous prices. One sort of room divider is composed of old bicycle rims.. yeah well, it's different. We just wanted coffee. I ordered a cappuccino and it was maybe 6 ounces at around $5. It was totally disgusting. I don't know if it was the coffee or the milk he put in it. I drank it down, but it left a really bad taste in my mouth for an hour afterward. The vibe here some may call hipster, but I call it weird.

Best employees and best baristas! Love the atmosphere and cappuccinos....very authentic...creamy like they are supposed to be and the parking is easy peasy. I only wish they had a way to warm up the food that I get sometimes....love this place!!!

We are from VA and I couldn’t wait to try different coffee shops in the area. I had a great chai/matcha drink and it was unique and so tasty! My boyfriend got a fantastic cappuccino as well. Also the baristas here are super sweet and welcoming!

I was visiting from out of town and randomly picked this coffee house o NewYears Day. There was only one girl working and she was very busy but held it together with her excellent service. Excellent coffee and even better service!

Good coffee, but I think it's too expensive. Also, they ask you for a tip when you order a single drink? Really? Other than that it's good. I just think you should keep tipping optional instead of pressuring customers!! but that's just me.The drinks are good just be prepared to pay more than you expect.

Awesome coffee and service, plentiful seating, and almost if not all pastry options are vegan. What?!? ❤️ The interior of this location is darker, lower ceilings so space wise I prefer the spot on Broadway, but did I say vegan pastries?? We tried three different ones and all excellent.
