    Ham panini
    Cheri P.

    A great little coffee spot located very close to Purdue University Northwest. Not sure what to order? Just ask one of the friendly baristas. We shared a ham panini sandwich, which was absolutely outstanding and very highly recommended. I had the Spanish latte and it was refreshing.

    Skimpy Panani  90% lettuce

    The Coffee is good. The Panini used to actually have a good amount of Turkey and avocado but is now mostly lettuce. Definitely noticeable decrease in portion size and meat. (See pics on Googles review). If you are looking to dine in be ready to sweat as most of the dinning area has no shade. Is hot inside no matter the season

    Working hard and fast!

    This place is clean, fast and friendly with a wonderful variety of drinks. There's so much more than coffee here: flavored lemonades, ice cream, baked goods, paninis and some perfect looking crepes. The place was full of young adults when we stopped in at 3:00, everyone happy and social. We stopped here on the way through town between Maryland and Wisconsin. We would absolutely stop again.

    For the first time, I went to a place where I can drink my tea and enjoy. The environment and the music. I recommend anyone if you in town.Come by here, the service was great.

    Delicious iced vanilla latte and crepe
    Ruth D.

    We stopped in here yesterday for coffee and a crepe and so glad we did! I had an iced vanilla latte with oat milk. Seriously one of the best I've had. It was so good I purchased a bag of their beans to take home. I also ordered a strawberry banana crepe with whipped cream. Delicious as well. The three women working were so friendly and the location is great across from Purdue. I wish I lived in the area and could come more often! Definitely recommend

    Caramel latte

    Amazing! Loved my drink, the staff were very friendly . The worker helped me order and suggested the latte. I had no idea they had flavored cold foams. It's also very cozy and comfy inside.

    A salted carmel cold brew,  the coffee is delicious,  the menu has a lot to choose from reasonable prices, the employees are so welcoming.

    Coffee and ice cream were great! The staff was very friendly. There was a good amount of space for multiple tables and a relaxing ambiance.

    It's right across the street from Purdue Northwest, so it's a really convenient stop if you're in the area.

    I was excited about this new local ice cream shop downtown. Finally, a charming spot worth…read moresupporting instead of another trip to the corporate chains. What a disappointment it turned out to be..I doubt this place will last the summer. The concept is cute, but the execution is a sloppy, strangely toxic little operation run by a high-strung pick me owner and her rotating crew of indifferent young workers. I waited more than twenty minutes for two simple orders, only for them to come out half-wrong: incorrect flavors, missing toppings, and sloppy scoops thrown together carelessly. When I gently pointed out the flavor mistake, the owner's response wasn't to fix it but to get immediately defensive and nasty. Zero grace, zero accountability. just brittle attitude instead of basic service. I didn't say another word and just left. I ended up throwing out the order that was wrong because of allergies. There was a gross atmosphere among the staff. You could almost hear the echo of high school hallways. A favored circle lounged around exchanging smirks, whispered barbs about customers, and idle gossip, while the few conscientious ones scrambled to pick up the slack. The owner's selective blindness was obvious. It created a clear undercurrent of favoritism, pettiness, and low key bullying that made the whole place feel cliquey and mean spirited. A business that prioritizes goofing off to fit in with teens, over consistent quality and basic courtesy isn't built to last. Between the long waits, constant errors, and thoroughly unpleasant energy, I won't be returning. and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. For the few kids hustling, I hope you find a better gig. You deserve respect. If you value professionalism, competence, and a warm welcome, take your money elsewhere. For all its aspirations, this spot is a disaster and not worth the wait.

We were not greeted & taken care of until a few minutes later. Pro tip for next time don't come inside go through the drive thru. Your order will be prioritized. If you come inside your order will be handled last. There were several customers in there waiting for their order. Mom ordered the original rainbow cone and I ordered an ice cream birthday cake slice. We sat down to wait for our order. We waited for about 35 minutes. By this time they are closed. The girl with the brown hair dramatically said sorry to all of us in the lobby and that she would get to our orders now. Mind you it is 9:17 PM they haven't locked the doors yet and more people are walking into the establishment. The workers did not tell the new coming people that they were closed. They were all waiting in line as if they were going to get their order placed. One of the men in lion spoke up because he was ready to place his order and the girl with the brown hair said "oh I didn't know you wanted to place an order. We are closed." those people waited in line for about a good 10 minutes. very unprofessional. Aside from that, there was no way you could forget that the lobby has a whole bunch of us just waiting for our ice cream. We were not sitting in there for fun. All in all the service is terrible. They need more workers in there and they need workers with confidence because there's no way you're gonna ignore people who are coming in the door and prioritizing people who are in the drive-through. There needs to be some sort of balance. Along with making DoorDash orders and stuff they need to make them when the Dasher gets there because there were so many banana splits sitting on the table melting away. The ambience is very trendy. It does not have that old-school feel like the original location in Chicago. I wouldn't want to go back. The ice cream was good but there's no way I'm waiting over half an hour just for them to scoop some ice cream for me.

The service provided was not very good. We waited for 40 minutes prior to receiving our order. After the 40 minutes I had to go to the counter to check on the order. The lady at the register said she totally forgot about our order and would make it now. I would recommend a better system for the workers to follow and to hire more staff to handle the load of customers.
