Hands down the best chai latte in the area. It’s just such a good vibe local business to meet.

Really cute cafe with a cool atmosphere. I love the space and the big windows, and the seating is stylish and really comfy to stay there for a while to have a coffee, eat and spend time with friends or family.However, I do have to say that I am not happy with the way they answered to a small issue. And I want to share that because it’s not only here but I’ve seen things like this happen almost everywhere I go, but now it happened to me.I ordered a latte with oatmilk and a cupcake. I sat down and started drinking my coffee. It’s worth to mention that I work at a cafe too, so I was talking about that and that’s when I realized (halfway into my drink) that oatmilk doesn’t produce the same kind of foam as regular milk. So I went to the bar to tell them, mostly because they charge more for oatmilk. A lady looked at the order and said that it was made with oatmilk. I mentioned that oatmilk doesn’t foam, and showed them the drink. She just said “Oatmilk does foam” and “I don’t know what you want me to do” and turn back to what she was doing.It’s not a big deal, I know a business like this it’s hard and stressful. But it feels disingenuous when a local business asks for the community’s support and then goes and treats us like that. I don’t want to be a Karen so I just drank most of it because it was $7 (+$.50 for the oatmilk) and left with a stomach ache.

Great coffee and good pastries served in a really pleasant space. But this is consistently the slowest cup of coffee in town. If you're not in a rush it's a great spot, but if you are, consider one of the other coffee shops in town.

Was told I have to pay $10 just to use my card. Unusual for a coffee shop

Walked in on a Saturday afternoon to grab a quick drink to go. There were least 6 employees that were just standing around chatting and had a "can't be bothered" attitude to greet/help us for a few minutes while wrapping up their conversations. Overall, not a great first impression. Ordered a small vanilla latte and small matcha latte, which came out to $14 (which is very high, even for South Orange). It took awhile for the drinks to come out and we were quietly optimistic that the quality would make up for the iffy start to our visit. When they finally did come out, the drinks were unfortunately quite bad. The vanilla latte tasted like sweet milk, lacking any trace of espresso, and the matcha latte was bitter and just bad. I always try to support small, local businesses as much as possible. Great potential, but missed the mark this time. Giving 3 stars since the space was nice and the art was dope.

Every single time I walk in, I am greeted by employees and the owner if she's there. It feels so warm and welcoming. There's always a calming, warm feeling at the music is always loud enough to hear but low enough for you to hear the people you're with. The patrons are also speaking at a respectful level. You could sit next to someone and not hear their conversation. Now to the good stuff. I'd say it is a *bit* expensive but considering the area, it makes sense. "Why not go to dunkin or Starbucks which is a rock's throw away? Because the coffee is amazingly fresh. The menu is extensive yet not overwhelming. Get there early so you don't miss the best pastries even thought they're all pretty good. Breakfast sandwiches take a minute to come out but it's all handmade in the back. We love it here.

I went for a private event and found the establishment to be pleasant and comfortable. I am not a coffee nor tea drinker. However, it seemed to be ample options to choose from for coffee and tea drinkers. I did like the sweet and savory food options and the service was friendly.
Cool little coffee spot we found while out shopping!

1st time here with my wife, but my wife frequents this place when she is in the area, and I see why. Nice place and location. Atmosphere is a cafe cafeteria place that seems to attract people who want to get work done. I wouldn't call it cozy, but it's comfortable enough. Sit near the window and watch traffic, and people pass by while you do whatever it is that you do in a cafe. My latte was good, and the almond pastry was toasted and delicious. I wish the kitchen was open so I could have had their croissant sandwiches.

Lively spacious atmosphere. Minus 1 star for only 1 restroom for such a large establishmentParking: Limited parking in front. Maybe 1 Handicapped spot.
You know you got something good when you walk in and the tunes are mellow. Staff very friendly and welcoming, the manager is just amazing. This is a mother-daughter business and they roast weekly in house. I got a Cuban, OMG very flavorful, I got a 16oz with oat-milk. The coffee itself was freaking good. Not that burnt stuff that you get at other establishments. The cinnamon in this was just on point, reminded me of how I had coffee in my yester years. I have not had a decent cup of coffee like this in a Sunday in a long time. The people here were working on their laptops and having interesting conversations and the RNB music in the background, provided a mellow vibe and ambiance to the place. All the thnes I grew up listening to that were some of my favs, back then. Reminded of some good times!!
