Always a great time coming here. The staff is friendly and the cafe is clean. Food is great and they have a mini shop where you can grab a few odds and ends like coffe creamer.

Great music, food and drinks. Love the vibe. It’s in a beautiful old building with huge windows and high ceilings. Great place to grab a coffee and bite to eat and work remote.

This barista has no idea how much he just made my day!!! I've been searching for a lavender latte in the city for the last month and a half ever since I had the most amazing one in Kauai. I've finally found my match! And not only that but he did it with a smile on his face and totally mirrored my excitement. Thank you for a great experience!!

Delightful staff… lovely space…

Ok i really like their lattes but they are expensive.The other day i decided to be cheap (so i thought) and do an iced coffee instead and it came out to $6 for a medium. Plus $1 tip which came out to $7 for an iced coffee. I was unaware it was pretty much the same price as a latte. Apparently its cold brew but still, imo its less work than a latte & should be cheaper.Can only justify going here when im feeing bougie.

Spacious yet cozy. Friendly staff with a wide variety of coffee and food. Great place to plop down and get some work done.

Good food, good coffee, great staff!

This was my favorite cafe until an hour ago. I never thought I would encounter x e n o p h o b i c behavior for the first time after living for 2.5 years in the US in a seemingly “cool” cafe.My partner and I visited this place at 1:40 pm on Thursday, Jan 6th. My partner ordered and then I asked him to add another item to the order, and this is where the guy at the counter got annoyed. English is not our first language. Are we clear when speaking all the time? No. Masks make it even harder to communicate perfectly. Is it ok if someone gets mad and intolerant because of not speaking English the way they do? NO, IT IS NOT. That is 100% the duty and responsibility of anyone who is providing services to stay calm and politely ask us to repeat what we said. The guy instead acted as if we were causing problems for him.Besides, he was staring at us all the time were at the table. After about 15 mins, the guy asked whether we had proof of vaccination. I understand that it is the requirement, but what stopped him from asking that question at the very beginning if it is law? I bet he was wishing badly that we don’t have our cards so that he could ask us to leave immediately.What a day. I absolutely expected more!

Rude xenophobic service.Nice local place with good coffee. But some employees are very rude. And it happened a few times so far.
