I felt so unwelcome. I did say very politely. Please fill 3/4 full so I can use milk. They wouldn’t give me regular cows milk. Filled the cup to the top with black coffee. I am willing to pay for a 3/4 filled cup. Won’t be back. I asked for milk as a personal preference.

Such a charming coffee shop! Beautiful aesthetic & vibes. Friendly barista served me an amazing oat milk latte! My partner got an oat milk hot chocolate & enjoyed it as well!

super cute place, workers are so nice (even though i was totally out of it when i was ordering), for a small business prices make sense. starbucks is more expensive, ugly, corporate, and problematic- go here instead!

My go-to place for matchas in Sq hill. I just wished they were open for longer. The baristas are always very helpful.

Was just at the Indiana location and wanted a low carb late that wasn’t made with sucralose - they were kind and accommodating and made me a delicious slightly sweet latte with stevia and vanilla bean paste that is so good ! So glad to go support local and really great quality coffee over a chain branch - also got my toddler and adorable sprinkle cookie

The two women working there are still masking in 2024 and a big sign says masks encouraged with a pile of masks. It’s time to give it up and stop living in fear.

Felt unwelcomed

This has been my favorite coffee spot since college. There’s been only one unpleasant incident: I had something bitter in their blueberry muffin — after I let the staff know I was given a one dollar voucher so it wasn’t that bad. They don’t really make the food from scratch so I don’t consider it their fault. Otherwise, it’s always been a pleasure to get a coffee and get some reading/homework done in this place. Once I placed the wrong order and upon getting my whole milk matcha and doublechecking if it’s oat milk, the barista immediately made another one for me. I also enjoy their nut and seed bar a lot, a very healthy treat when you crave sweets.

I don't normally review coffee places as they are usually all the same over roast, over extracted, burnt garbage like what's served at Starbucks. This place is amazing. It's a bit expensive compared to other coffee places, but that premium is well worth it. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and the atmosphere is very warm and cozy.I got an Ethiopian pour over "duromina" and it was fantastic. Great sweetness, and the taste of blackberry came through excellently. They had all the right equipment too, from kettle, to grinder, to pour over cone.They also have a nice succulent, +10 points.

Coffee wasn't bad - a little watery. One of the most disgusting breakfast sandwich I've eaten - was a brick of old eggs on bad toast. Interesting wall decorations, but the entire place smelled very, very bad inside. Baristas seemed nice but while I was sitting there, one of the workers came by to lower the hanging plant onto my head/shoulder. Strongly don't recommend.
