Always stop in here when I’m visiting Dayton. Menu is straight forward no frills but executed well! Espresso based drinks are top notch! My only complaint would be the lack of transparency on their whole bean pouches. When your spending $20+ a bag their should be more transparency for customers to base a decision on. Other than that love stopping through here!

My husband and I drove from the Columbus area because someone recommended this place to us and while the drinks were GREAT, we ended up chugging our drinks down quickly due to the atmosphere. One of the Barista’s friends came in and they started talking LOUDLY in this small coffee shop and were gossiping about other local coffee establishments in the area and people. Really awkward and really unprofessional… don’t usually make reviews but we were just really shocked about how loud they were being, especially with talking about others and other places nearby. Also really unfortunate that we couldn’t sit there and enjoy our drinks in this beautiful shop because we couldn’t enjoy our time, let alone even hear each other over them. :(

You have to like your coffee with a lot of bit to it. Tell they to add the sweet first. It's a good place to have a cup of joe. I wish they opened earlier.

Loved stopping by this coffee shop! It’s small and cozy. Well lit, lots of beautiful decor and greenery. Friendly and helpful staff. Had a chai latte that was foamed to perfection and a little spicy, which was a nice twist! Will definitely come back if I’m in the area.

They don’t have Wi-Fi in case you were wanting to study or do work, which is the main reason I tend to go to coffee shops, so it really defeated the purpose for me.They also only have three syrup flavors— chocolate, vanilla, and honey and only one size of drink.All the seats in the place are stools, which were nice but also eventually hurt my back after a while.Really nice staff though!

Wow. What a great coffee. Foam was perfect, flavour of my cappuccino was perfect, atmosphere was perfect, service was perfect.They pay attention to every detail and it is felt.I wish I would live close by.

Great cappuccino and americano, good coffee art, clean and fresh atmosphere.

Excellent coffee. Stuffy atmosphere.

Five stars because it’s a local coffee shop that’s not a corporate chain. Honest review because it really needs to be said…You can cut the pretension in this joint with a knife. I am unsure if the baristas want certain customers indoors because I’ve received condescending stares every time I’ve stopped in. Maybe if I worked for Pitchfork, or arrived on a steampunk-themed unicycle — it would be different?It’s not just stares… yes, I know my macchiato isn’t going to look like Starbucks.’ That’s literally why I’m here. And why are you preparing my orders to-go for me when it’s empty indoors, and I look like I want to stay a while… is that normal for everyone?Anyway, more warmth would be appreciated in a hospitality joint. I fully get nihilism but I’m here for caffeine and chill. Maybe put on some music to soften the atmosphere. I dunno, it wouldn’t hurt.
