Lots of seating, light, and super airy. Great place to grab a coffee and relax. Parking wasn't an issue.

We'll come back and give it another chance, maybe it was an off day. Lots of cute merchandise available. Some seating outside as well.

Natural banana has to be my favorite flavor! So swing that this place makes coffee, smoothies,…read morepastries with the natural banana flavor brings my heart so much joy. I hate the taste of artificial banana syrup and finally having the option to not have that in my drinks is so nice. My co-worker introduced me to this place and I could've sworn that I had a matcha latte with banana foam? I'm not so sure because I ended up going on my own and was told that they don't do banana foam. Which is pretty sad if that's the case :( maybe it should be considered :) (hence the -1 star) regardless I have tried most of the drinks on their menu and have fallen in love with the Golden Chai. I would say it's a pretty acquired taste and at first some getting used to. Another recommendation I have would be their banana loaf!! So worth it!! The banana chunks make this loaf stand out from any other place.

I checked this place out with my boyfriend since he got a gift card from a neighbor. It's a cute…read moreneighborhood cafe with beautiful desserts. The service was friendly. We ordered the large honeydew with brown sugar boba and this peach dessert to share. The honeydew boba was marked as one of their most popular options, so I was disappointed that the boba was very over cooked and too soft. It was also served with crushed ice, so occasionally I would also get small pieces of ice coming through the straw, which I did not care for. The peach dessert was gorgeous in the case but I think the way it was served in an oversized plastic container that I'm guessing they also use to sandwiches did make the experience feel a little less luxe. I think for $15 it could have been in an appropriately sized container. It was nice tasting, but I'm not sure I would come here again.

I ordered the caramel brulee with 20 percent sugar, but it was not for me. The coffee itself tasted a little burnt and somehow was still overly syrupy sweet. I was hoping the lower sugar level would let more of the coffee flavor come through, but the drink just felt unbalanced. The staff was friendly and the service was good, so I appreciated that. Unfortunately the drink was enough that I do not see myself coming back.

Most of the baristas are really nice and will chat with you while making your drink. The biggest tip I can give is to pay in cash so it's a flat rate and you always know how much it will cost. My only issue is they put bare straws in your drink for you with the same hands that touch money and credit cards.

I was in the area so I was looking for a place to grab some coffee…read more I came across this place and it looked interesting so I wanted to check it out. Half of the shop is sectioned off for their non profit for cats that are looking for a home. It's got glass windows so you can watch the cats while post up and work. I wanted to get two drinks cause everything looked so good lol I got the salted caramel latte and the Love Cloud Cold Brew. I really liked the Love Cloud Cold Brew. It's a vanilla cold brew with strawberry foam on top. It's a great strawberries and cream cold brew. It was nicely balanced. Not too sweet and you can taste the coffee in it. The salted caramel latte was okay. It has an interesting aftertaste to it. Kinda like a butterscotch taste vs. salted caramel. If I'm back in the area, I would come back for that Love Cloud Cold Brew

The CRT TV playing VHS tapes, along with the selection of comics and decorations makes this feel like a portal to a different place. The coffee and tea selection is good, with everything they serve being made with attention to care and quality. The service is really welcoming. Employees are warm and kind and always down to help and chat. The space is small with seating inside and outside. Highly recommend to stop by if you're in the area!

It was actually one of the few coffee shops open on Memorial Day, which I truly appreciated. I got there around 10am and it was still pretty quiet, so I had plenty of seating choices. I ended up grabbing the table bar by the window with a street view and honestly loved it (10/10). I ordered a latte, which was decent. By around noon the place was booming and there was even a line to order, so I'm glad I came earlier. Overall, it's a really cute retro-style café with lots of fun little details and decor that give it a lot of character.
