Cute little shop, I wish the coffee shop part were a little bigger but it is fine as it is, the morning tea with ginger coco is my favorite. The store itself offers nice items, some very overpriced like a $40 pen, some a little more affordable. The vibe of it all though is fun.

Great staff and beautiful space. Coffee is great, and so we the almond croissant. I've tried the morning bun before too. Not sure if you can sit around the space as I was picking up, but would love to shop there

A very interesting mix between a home goods / clothing boutique and a cafe. I felt like I was having tea inside an Anthropology Home catalogue. Which wasn’t a bad thing! I had a Thai Tea while chatting with a friend on their long couch. Their cafe has limited options, but every milk/milk alternative you could hope for. It was empty when we visited and served as a lovely place to catch up with someone or browse.

Store/coffee shop with a very limited menu. Sitting in the middle of a store with our coffee felt odd. I'd much rather go to a cafe. We were there for an hour and didn't see anyone buy anything. The store doesn't feel welcoming, it feels a little gallery-like and I was afraid to break anything. There is security outside for parked vehicles so that's nice. I have no need to go back

This is listed as a "store" but it needs to be clear that there is a lovely cafe inside the store and you don't need to buy any products other than a coffee, tea, or pastry to enjoy your time here. I got a masala chai and sat in the comfortable arm chairs for about 2 hours while I got some work done. The ambiance is quiet conversation, a little louder than a library but not obtrusive. The lighting is great. I did browse some of the products for sale (kitchen wares, skincare products, clothes, books/journals) but didn't buy anything.

Stop 2 of my Date Day Friday . We were welcome . The store had a nice vibe to it with some really nice items . The cafe was nice and the Masala Chai Tea was delicious. The temperature was perfect. I would highly recommend and return .

A lovely place to sit and have coffee or maybe just look at lots of pretty things. There are so many nice gems in here like candles and pillows and tableware. I bought some pheromone oil as a birthday gift for a friend here. The bathroom is super nice and the smell in there was so lovely that I asked them if they sold the scent and they did! The only downside that messed up the vibe for me was a full-time security guard standing there I guess to protect the merchandise and artwork. Feels weird. Other than that this place is wonderful.

We were looking for a cafe to get some drinks and work out of. We stumbled across this cafe+shop which happens to be owned by Ayesha Curry. I love that the store features her brands as well as other women/black owned businesses. My partner got an iced Masala Chai latte which was super reasonably priced around $3 and it was delicious. There's plenty of seating and it felt so homey with a couch, long table, and clean restroom - we were there for a few hours. Only thing I will say is the outlets aren't that close to the seating areas.Props to Ayesha, beautiful shop/cafe and great music!

What a gem, corner coffee bar inside a boutique store that carries home goods. A great place to find unique handmade gift items such as leather bags, throws, jewelry, and more by local artists. Comfortable seating area and simple menu with drip coffee & some baked goods. Tried the chai tea with specialty syrup & their bread pudding. Great service by the barista.

This is an Ayesha Curry store that features a cafe to the left, and a retail store to the right. They carry a small selection of elegant but expensive books, home decor, kitchenware and skin care products. The aesthetics are beautiful and calming, and the staff do a really good job of maintaining the cleanliness and visual appeal of the shop. The cafe has a very limited selection, so we just opted to go with an iced coffee. It was a bit weak and didn't really stand out. Staff here however are extremely friendly and very nice to interact with.

Peaceful and spacious spot for coffee and lifestyle products. Really liked the choice of earth tones for interior decor, the ambiance is very relaxing. The cold brew was pretty good too.

This is Aisha Curry's place. The decor is so cute. I love that they work with black artists in different fields. They have several flavored coffees, teas and wonderful danishes and cookies. It's a nice place to relax and chill with a couple of friends or to get out of the house amongst others to do some work. I was sincerely impressed with the place. Can't wait to go back.I also wanted to add that, we were there on Mother's day. The real treat was that our drinks were free. So very thankful for that!
