It's a very cute cafe. I had the horachata steamer which was great. Super friendly staff.

Coffee is pretty good but if you want to go here you better have at least 30 minutes to kill. I walked in last Thursday at 7:45am for a small iced coffee, nobody else in line, majority of people had received their orders, I didn’t leave until 7:58. Thank goodness my work is right above them but the service is extremely slow and does not match the quality of their coffee

Overall a good place! Latte was standard and Strawberry White Chocolate Mocha special was better. Breakfast was good, bacon was chewy (not cooked long enough). Biscuit was good but more of a cornbread texture. Service was good, although when I had to go back up the lady I asked for preserves for my biscuit was a bit rude.Overall good place to eat and pick up a quick coffee, very busy on a Sunday morning. But they handled it well.

Atmosphere was cool. First time I’ve had a mocha that doesn’t taste like coffee, milk, or chocolate, such an odd taste. Plus they only filled the cup up 2/3 way. Got a cinnamon roll that was okay, but it was pretty tough. I saw this place recommended everywhere, a little disappointed but it was cheap plus the river is right across the street so it’s easy to forget about.

Fantastic coffee in an awesome location. Staff was super friendly and they roast their own. I tried the Guatemala beans and purchased the Java beans that were a slightly darker roast. Incredible. Great menu selection and it also looked like a great place to work or study.

Been coming here for years since it opened. Has always been the best price for fresh, locally roasted beans in town. Since moving away, I made a trip to return for nostalgia sake mostly since I already had a cup this morning. I ordered a cappuccino for here. It came out a little slow, but that's all good. The problem was once it came. It was just like any other mediocre coffee place that doesn't know how to make a cappuccino. The milk/air ratio was way off, then not poured/combined properly. A cappuccino isn't supposed to be slightly watered milk with super airy milk on top, but that's what I got. It should be fairly homogeneous when made properly, which the trained baristas here used to deliver. Maybe I got a trainee or someone who just didn't care. Really sad.

30 mins and counting to get 4 toasted bagels. Girl said they don’t have a system where shorter duration things get put to the front, which I totally understand but we saw 30 other people get their stuff before us. End of the day, shouldn’t take 35 mins to get 4 bagels.

Great taste! As vegan/vegetarian a very good place to eat! Breakfast is my recommendation ??

Wow they are incredible!!! The place was so busy and they had everything moving so quickly and were also so so kind! The blueberry fritter bread was amazing. Atmosphere is great. People are great. Food is great. Coffee is great. Highly recommend!

A great cafe to visit. They work hard to make great meals. Especially breakfast!
