First time I went will be the last time. Breakfast taco was good, coffee was decent, service was quick but as another reviewer put it the staff/service were very much the 2008 hipster "look down on you vibe." No one on the staff so much as smiled at me the entire time I was there, and seemed to only be friendly to regulars. Great place if you're not a morning person I guess.

Great location to grab a cuppa coffee, pretty good amount of seats and finally a coffee shop that's not always freezing. Can't remember if they even have food but the coffee is always good.

Very high quality lattes, we had the iced honey lavender and the hot vanilla lattes. The syrups are delicious house made and not overly sweet like many, which makes it. Really nice atmosphere with a quiet space to talk or work. Will definitely be back.

Nice little place for coffee. They've gone a little corporate lately but it's still a nice place to sit and write.The patio is good when the weather is cooperative.

The place is so cute, the quiche was really good, we ordered the chai latte and it was so watery, possibly the worst we’ve had which is our go to. I saw another review mentioned the same thing as well. We didn’t try other drinks which I’m sure they’re good but just try the chai at your own risk. It’s also really busy which we weren’t expecting so finding a table might be hard if you’re looking for somewhere to sit inside.

Simply the best coffee, baristas, attitude and standards in the gourmet, artisan roasting space!

I live just down the street and love this cafe. Great people and great coffee. I did, however, just purchase a 5$ breakfast taco that was quite underwhelming and, if priced more appropriately, would have been less of an irritation. I’ve had much better b-fast tacos elsewhere and for half the price. I encourage the proprietor to reconsider this insanely overpriced item, or make it worth the 5$ they’re charging.

The banana bread is divine and the coffee is fine. I didn’t realize when I went though that the name was an apt description of the people working there. The vibe of the staff is similar to the 2008 look down on you hipster vibe. I asked for my banana bread warmed up and I got an eye roll and nothing more lol. Short haired girl and the dude are cool but everyone else I’ve interacted with has been terrible on the most basic level. The outside is nice though.

This is one of my favorite spots to do homework, the coffee is very good and the outside seating area is beautiful. I just wanted to write a review to warn hot tea drinkers- I ordered iced loose leaf tea in a reusable cup that I brought with me. I noticed that they accidentally made it hot, but I spaced out a few minutes later and drank it though the straw before it was done cooling. Totally my fault for not checking, but I've been having a really hard time even eating liquid foods for the past 4 days because of how badly the inside of my mouth was burned. If you do order hot tea, make sure it has cooled off before you drink it!!!!!! This is a cautionary tale and not a bad review :)

I've been coming to this cafe for a few years. I usually go once and come back after a few months since it's not close by. It seems the ownership changed a lot over the past three years. All bring different menus and services. I came in today and ordered a cappuccino. It was good. They have milk alternatives and flavors. This place is fantastic for studying or reading a good book. It has lots of seating indoors and outdoors. Parking can be scarce, so plan accordingly. The staff wasn't rude but also wasn't as welcoming.

The Almond Latte tasted like burnt water--threw it away immediately it wasn't drinkable

Such a cute cafe! I had the cortado with oat milk and a delicious plant based chocolate chip cookie. Awesome customer service and the patio outside is so cute to sit at and enjoy your coffee!

I come here often to work in the mornings. The baristas always have a smile and make awesome drinks. They also have snacks like cookies, bagels, and delicious quiche!
