Neat place to work/chill. Gets busy during peak hours but always cozy, has cool music, and even has outdoor seating. Parking is weird to find first-time but there's a retail garage and street parking around the block. Menu can be pricey but is extensive with lots of great coffee, tea, sandwich, dessert, and more choices. Try their mojitos!

Phenomenal Coffee and great food. Got a ham & cheese croissant and it was really good. The lavender latte was absolutely incredible. They roast La Colombe so their coffee is great. The coffee shop is in an apartment building, has lots of seating & a great place to get work done.

Plenty of seating if you want to work alone or with a group. The coffee and lavender drinks were delicious, but some food is a hit or miss. Particular, the waffles and ice cream were delicious, but the ham and cheese bagel left something to be desired. But overall, the vibe and experience is relaxing and chill.

Great coffee, they usually have seasonal specials and a wide range of coffee. Their cold brew and lattes are unique. For chocolate lovers, they have the chocolate cake from Satura which you can’t miss. Indoor space is great, it’s cozy but yet spacious enough to accommodate an oversized stroller. Enjoy!!

I like the vibe the place generates. Casual and pretty chill. The location is excellent to attract students and working class people. The staff js helpful and is generally quick in getting your order. We had the mint cold brew latte and red velvet latte. Mint cold brew is definitely recommended. Variety of other options to choose from. Don't forget to try the pastries and the bakery items too.Recommend to head to this place during the off-peak hours for good seating. There is an outdoor seating available too. Recommend the owner to add multiple charging spots. During peak-hours suggestion for the staff to clean the tables. The ambience is pleasant and will definitely head back to try few other items on the menu.

Positives:First time visiting here! I love the whole environment being so vibey and chill. Loved how spacious it is as well so everyone feels like they're in their own pods. Workers are friendly and wears their masks the whole time that they are working here. The food and drink items are super good! Cakes are very tasteful. I tried their Strawberry shortcake and strawberry latte and they were excellent. They also have a variety of other cake options you could purchase if you are planning to purchase a customized birthday cake or any cake for any occasion I believe. They also have a minimal choices of savory food (they only offer deli sandwiches)Negatives:- Tables don't seem to be wiped down.- price is on the more pricey side- don't have much outlets to charge electronicsOrdered a drink and a cake for a total of $16. Which shouldn't be a bad price for the quality of it and how our economy is rising the prices for tax and such. That's understandable. Another big downside for students (at least) is that they don't have very many outlets to charge stuff. So this place is much preferred for individuals who just wants to come do a hangout at and chit chat with peeps. Accumulating all the downfalls, it would probably make people think twice before coming back for a consistency visit.

I ordered house coffee and a ham and egg croissant. The coffee was served hot and bold which was exactly the way I like it. The croissant was fresh and tasty as well. It tasted like a Costco croissant but the ham and cheese with the spinach was a good combo. All in all, it hit the spot and I really enjoyed the coffee.

A beautiful rustic ambiance and a perfect spot for coffee date, meetings and hangout. I really fall in love with the vibe of this place ....also they have one of the best house coffees around this area ......also yes they have some really nice assorted desserts option ....a must try with Subtle flavors, perfect amount of sweetness ...goes well with coffee

One of my favorite place to pick up pastries and coffeeThey have an elaborate menu including cookies, loaf cake slice, pastries, sandwiches and more.The pastries are always fresh and delicious.The strawberry shortcake is worth trying.

The cups were not cleaned enough!! We got two coffee in the morning. Both of the cups were dirty.
