On this particular weekday morning, they had a great looking selection of donuts I sadly resisted, along with some other pastries. My boyfriend had the oatmeal cookie latte and I got the ginger snap latte. While tasty, the coffee flavor itself wasn't super strong, but overall the drinks were yummy. The vibe in here is quaint and bright, with different seating options. Would be a good spot to work from! Due to its convenient location and parking lot, I will definitely visit again!

Wanted to love this place since it has such good reviews. Or maybe I just ordered the wrong things?…read more I ordered the oatmeal cookie latte and a vanilla mint matcha from their season menu for my husband. Both drinks tasted very watered down. Not to mention the matcha was not good at all. When the barista handed it to me, I could already tell by the color that it wasn't going to be good. It just tasted like watered down vanilla milk. No matcha taste at all. Pro - they do have a parking lot in the back.

The entire café is horror-themed, which makes it the perfect spot to kick off the first day of fall and spooky season. The team was so kind and welcoming -- they really took care of me and helped me pick out the best drink for my vibe. I went with the Fire Starter latte with macadamia milk, and it was amazing. The smooth espresso paired with just a hint of chili took the flavor to another level -- cozy, bold, and just the right amount of heat. If you're looking for killer coffee, spooky vibes, and wonderful service this fall as Halloween creeps closer, you NEED to check this place out.

If you want to work on your laptop, the free WIFI is good and there are charge cord plugs all along the wall. I like how spacious and bright it is inside, not to mention the high ceilings. When I get cabin fever it's nice to "escape" to a clean and friendly location like this.

There's seating for probably 50 people, if not more, and it's open till midnight most days. This is the perfect 'third space' for anyone looking to catch up with friends or looking for a new work/study area. I loved the iced mufawar because it's a perfect blend of spices like cardamon and it gives me a caffeine high. There's an assortment of sweets and a few savory items like croissants. A shared parking lot in front is a major plus, but it's also steps away from the Brown Line making it super convenient. Definitely a great place to get some work done.

There is street parking but no seating except for a small bench outside. It was hot outside so I wanted a cold drink, so I went with their Chocolate and Pistachio Iced Coffee. Unfortunately, this wasn't it for me. I couldn't even taste the chocolate and pistachio...it was like garnish on the cup more than anything. I tasted the espresso shots briefly but it was all milk afterwards. Since I got there in the afternoon, I decided on their Breakfast Sandwich for a late lunch. This one hit the spot for me! Bacon, soft scrambled eggs, caramelized onions and sriracha...delicious! For my pastry, I chose the Guava Cheese Bread. It's like a bigger and denser version of pao de queijo. Really liked how the tartness of the guava jam complimented the savoriness of the bread. A little bummed the drink wasn't a home run for me because that's mostly the reason I came but I'll give it another chance! Also, it's a dog friendly place so that's always a plus for me!
