The location was right where we had parked our car in the "Gallery" area and looked super cute on the outside so my husband and I tried it out. There were no other customers at the time but the staff were really kind and helpful. And extra bonus was just outside in the fake grass area, my kids immediately walked over and watched Bluey on the big screen so I can easily order our drinks without interruption. I ordered an iced mocha and my husband ordered an iced latte - we were both pleasantly surprised by how good the coffee was.

Imagine driving to Cincinnati ahead of the incoming snowstorm, ready for a fun coffee shop, because…read moremy sister is basically a coffee shop snob. We go across town (at least 20 minutes), hopes high and taste buds ready, only to land at this spot and find the energy a little more "BLAH" than "CAFFEEINE PARTY." I'm all about giving new to me places a chance, so I let them know I was from out of town, expecting an enthusiastic welcome or at least a menu breakdown. Instead, I got about as much excitement as a decaf espresso shot. I was this close to skipping the order altogether, but my inner self said keep going. The baristas making the drinks were great, and the space itself is roomy enough for laptop warriors or a catch-up with pals. The drinks, though, didn't have me doing cartwheels, but hey, maybe it was just an off day for my taste buds. I can't begin to remember the name of my drink Would I go back? Probably not. Will our Cincinnati crew give it another shot? Also unlikely. But hey, if you're nearby and feeling adventurous, maybe you'll catch them on a day when the energy is as strong as their coffee. Every coffee run has its own story, and this one just leaned a little more decaf than drama.

I am so happy with my experience - delicious, sweet, and in a space that felt so homey! Also, I'd like to point out how beautiful it is that so many folks from different walks of life were finding comfort in this same space. There was a group of construction workers on their lunch break together, a table of two having a deep discussion about something important, a woman on her laptop, a couple folks wanting a good chat at the bar, and that's just those of us who were downstairs. It's so special when a space can be safe to such a diverse set of customers. Before my lunch had even been delivered to the table I was texting specific people going "you have got to check this place out, you'd love the vibe!!" Speaking of lunch, here's what I ordered: TBS | turkey sausage, scrambled egg, cheddar & pepper jack cheese served on a croissant bun I had zero expectations for this sandwich as I didn't even comprehend how much variety would be in their meal choices. It was delicious. I did not expect it to be so massive. Holy crap. Very worth the price! Peach Cobbler Chai | listen, y'all. When most places say a drink is flavored or tastes like a pre-existing thing, it usually only hints at that original flavor. THIS TASTED LIKE A DANG PEACH COBBLER HAD BEEN MELTED AND POURED STRAIGHT INTO MY CUP. I'm blessed to have tried this. It was one of my favorite drinks I've had all year. Caramel Apple Snickerdoodle Cookie | ALL of their cookies are as big as my face, so I had to try one. I love caramel meaning this was the obvious choice. It was soooooo sweet and gooey! I thoroughly enjoyed it, though I'd probably get a different flavor next time! Iced Chai w/ Extra Cinnamon | as I was leaving, I wanted an extra drink. I asked the barista what her go to is and she hooked me up with this beauty! I have gotten chai so many times in my life. I've quite literally have had hundreds of chais. I love chai. I even was a barista for about a year and a half. Never have I ever thought to ask for extra cinnamon and now I feel like I've been doing chai wrong to all the chais of my past that I've deemed "weak" and "not flavorful enough", I'm sorry. That's on me. I should've added more cinnamon JT got the best side bagel (which he devoured, though he also underestimated its size!) and some specialty latte that was hand written on the menu to the right of the checkout. I tried a sip, it was a little less flavorful than I had expected but super smooth!

Their…read moreclassic croissant is everything you want it to be, flaky, sweet, buttery, and beautifully layered. The pecan roll is another standout. It is loaded with pecans, sticky in the best way, and easily one of the best in the city. When they're on, they're really on. One thing I noticed was that the setup could use a little refinement. With both coffee and bakery items coming from the same counter, the line gets congested fast and the shop is quite small. A separate line for coffee and tea offerings - they have a bunch - and pastries would make the experience smoother and match the quality of what they're serving. They do offer vegan options, which I personally have no interest in, but just an fyi. Overall, they deliver excellent pastries and has the potential to be even better with a few small tweaks to the flow and menu variety. Still absolutely worth a visit, especially for that croissant and pecan roll.
