I bought a "pothead" hat to take back home, I love it. I got the bourbon maple latte with oat milk. I always forget that I don't love bourbon flavoring in my coffee, but it was still good. The other two in my party loved their drinks. The atmosphere was friendly and also nice for a workspace. Also cute merch!

Not a really strong matcha flavor but still flavorful nonetheless.

It's like grandma's house (grandma was in there teaching her granddaughter to clean up - so cute!). The day we went, they had little specials in each corner. They had a gardening educational table for those interested in it, and They might have partnered with another eatery that advertised mango with sticky rice and boba. **They also serve Mary Ann Donut Kitchen Fridays and Saturdays, so two yumminess in one! They don't have all the flavors though... We all ordered a latte, almond milk and oat milk. Not bad. My friend and I ordered from the children's menu (LOL) and got a biscuit with egg and cheese, whilst her husband ordered the 610. We shared the biscuit French toast. We truly enjoyed our children's item, actually, we all enjoyed everything. Nice neighborhood cafe and definitely coffee shop vibe.

Our friends, which are local, said it's usually a few to choose from. So I lucked out! We got a few varieties and I always get a maple something donut. The service was quick as there were only one other customer as the time. Small place, but warm and sugary lol. I had it when we got back and it was very satisfying until I bit into something hard. It was a piece of bacon! Thankfully I'm not a vegetarian, but maybe place the maple and maple bacon apart? My friend is a vegan and thankfully she didn't decide to try a maple one. Overall, will definitely return when I visit Allentown!
