This is my favorite coffee place in the area. Anytime I'm passing by or running errands I'm making it a point to stop by. The menu is very creative, staff is friendly and the coffee is superb!

I really enjoy the coffee and food at this Cafe. They also have some really cool merch; like cups,mugs,hats, and whole bean coffee for sale. Plus this new black sparkly cup I have my eyes set on getting soon! All around a great place to get food and coffee and chill. I highly recommend them.

This review is mainly for the breakfast sandwich. I ordered the sandwich with the avocado mash. That's a $2.50 up charge I'm willing to pay so long as I get it right? Well, I got my sandwich and no avocado. I had to leave for class so I didn't have time to look at my receipt before I left. After class I didn't and yes, I was charged for the avocado. By the time I figured out the discrepancy, it was too late and the cafe was already closed. From a flavor perspective, it was good. Can't go wrong with sourdough, eggs, pesto, provolone and tomatoes. But the missing avocado and knowing I just lost $2.50 (yes this is a lot to me right now), is just a downer.

I really like this coffee shop, decent in size and a nice outdoor area to enjoy. I LOVE avocado toast!!! The bread this thick and toasted to perfection. The avocado is fresh and other toppings are plentiful. The fried onions are a perfect addition. Pro tip add hot sauce. Several varieties of coffees and teas, but I always go with the ice lavender latte with oat milk. Staff is courteous and while the parking lot is shared with several other businesses I never had an issue finding a spot.

Trendy little coffee shop that has a nice variety of food for such a small spot. It's hidden in the corner behind Willys bagels. I'm not a coffee drinker but my bf has said the coffee was good. They make a really nice chai latte and sprinkle it with cinnamon for a nice added touch. I was in the mood for avocado toast and trying to be a little healthy. I saw pics on their Yelp but couldn't figure out what topping was on their toast so I decided to try it out for myself. The toast is nice and thick like a Texas toast. The avocado isn't a freshly cut avocado spread. It seemed like a pre- prepared in a tub type spread. Still good but I prefer a fresher version. It had thinly sliced radishes which gave it a nice fresh taste but the topping I was trying to figure out is actually French Onion bits. It does add a unique flavor and texture along with a strong scent but it did take away from the healthy factor I was looking for.

Excellent service with great choices of coffee drinks. Just ask the barista and they can direct you to the month special:-)

This is a good place but only in the morning. Did a pick up in the afternoon and service was aweful. The young barista is condescending and didn't make the drink properly but kept telling me how it's supposed to be. I just took my drink and left. No use of arguing with someone that just doesn't get it. Just because she works in a coffee shop doesn't mean that I don't know my coffee. Honestly, sometimes their shots taste bitter and burnt and I don't say anything. Never going again in the afternoon, I'll pull my own shots at home like I usually do. What a shame.

Hippest place in Brentwood before dinner for sure!! Coffee here is world class without the crazy "Star Blank" reserve prices. I've tried three of there grinds and am hoping to get through the lot before the year is up. My favorite after lunch desert was the "Affogato" which the last time I saw on a menu in the bay area was at boogie Italian cafe in North Beach San Francisco. There grinds are robust and pack a punch. I recommend a touch of salt to damper any bitter our sourness if you're not used to a power house coffee grind...it's a life hack that has done me wonders with my addiction to strong turkish coffee. Highly recommended; staff is awesome, specialty coffee comes quick...lots of hustle and bustle, but the ambiance is that of a proper big city coffee shop!

First time I've tried this place the coffee was bland but decided to try it again to kill time while my car was getting serviced. The coffee was much better this time! I tried the iced latte with lavender while my boyfriend got the cold brew. Service was quick with the drinks and love that we were able to bring our dog to their outdoor seating. I also like how they have food and plenty of seating so it's a good spot if you want to catch up with a friend or do some work there.

The atmosphere was lovely and the shop was well appointed, but the coffee was mediocre and barely warm. The servers were friendly, but assumed I was getting an order to go, when in fact, I was there for a sit-in service while I was waiting for my car to be repaired. I had the breakfast sandwich, which was just okay. It was moderately priced at $10. This, with my coffee, was $14. I debated between this or Willy's, but wanted the vibe of a coffee house. I wish I had chosen Willy's for a toasted bagel and a hot coffee.

I tried to give this place another try because my daughters school is right next to it & wow disappointed again. Came in and the bathrooms weren't working on a busy Monday morning. I placed my bag on a seat and people just completely ignored it and sat there; so that's the type of crowd they have. The barista was giving free drinks to her friends how cool is that for us regular people. l love the food & so does my daughter but geez every time i'm here it's not a pleasant experience.
