I also love how connected they are to the local community, from their community board to plants from local vendors.

HORRIBLE customer service!! I went yesterday, Thursday for the first time as I was looking for…read morecoffee a little later in the day. I found this coffee shop near me so I decided to go with my sister in law. We arrived 10mins before closing time so I was excited to make it on time. Apparently the ridiculously rude young lady working there wasn't having it. She took a couple minutes to take our order since putting in the patio furniture was more important. When she finally finished, she came to the counter with a horrible attitude asking what we wanted. My sister in law wanted a hot coffee and she refused to served it since the machine was "off" already. Then she proceeded to order a banana iced coffee (don't know the name) and again the lady refused to make it since it was one of their most "complicated" drinks to make. We ended up ordering two "quick and easy" ice drinks. We asked if she was working alone... this lady only had rude comments and answers to say (smart ass). It is unfortunate to be treated that way specially when it was my first time there. It is also very unfortunate that the Spanish Latte I ordered was delicious, BUT I will never be returning or recommending this place due to the horrible customer service. I have family in the coffee business and customer service is always a priority, not at this location. Very disappointed with whoever hired her and trained her.

The order and pick up lates were close to each other so it made the store feel a lot tighter. There was wifi available and a decent amount of seating available inside and outside. Because it was busy, the noise level was loud, so it was essential to use earphones to focus. Their menu had a pour over option, so I definitely had to get it. There was a selection on the side that mentioned different beans; I decided on their Columbia. After waiting for about 10 minutes, I got my fresh pour over. Coffee is good, table spacing was a bit cramp, and noise level was high. American Express is accepted here.

I really liked the variety and how they put together their menu. It looks like they're especially known for their mascarpone cream, but I chose The Hawaiian, which comes with macadamia nuts. (Heard the biscoff is the favorite) Definitely looking forward to trying some of the other options if I'm ever back in the area. Service was a little slow, but they were pretty packed and clearly busy. The bagel itself was nice and fluffy, and the pesto cream cheese was a surprisingly good touch. Overall, a great hidden find.

Showed up looking for a coffee shop because of the high reviews to have a latte with my daughters as we're out and about shopping. I want to make that very clear, this is not a coffee shop. Not sure why it is showing as one. Very challenging ordering as you are in the door way IN THE WAY of people coming and going. You feel rushed and it is only TO GO as you are not able to sit as is not only for restaurant customers only. There is only a single size option. Then once ordering you wait outside the door in the sun melting until they text you.... The drinks were tasty HOWEVER I would never recommend going for the coffee alone.

I usually go for strong coffee, so I was pleasantly surprised by how well-balanced these drinks were. The flavors came through nicely without overpowering the coffee -- just the right amount of sweetness. They don't look super fancy or over-the-top, but the quality is there. Friendly service and unique options make this place a hidden gem. I'll definitely be back to try the Mexican Sidecar latte.

I love their cold brew here. It has depth and doesn't have a generic profile. The service here is good too. The staff here are very attentive and helpful. As for the ambiance of the place, it's like a mini gallery with minimalist decor and huge signature art pieces. It's a good place to get coffee and work. Don't let the small entrance deceive you. It's very spacious. The pricing here is very reasonable. It's also easy to find parking out. It's everything you want from a coffee shop. Although we didn't get to try the pastries, we're sure it's delicious.

Upon arrival the shop had a lot of technical issues with their payment system. No cash accepted. With the help of an employee, I was able to order 30 whopping minutes later. I ended up getting the ube latte with hazelnut syrup. It is not the same as their ube coffee. The drink didn't look like the drink from a photo I was referencing, but it tasted decent. Ice level was fine and coffee taste was strong enough. There are a few tables you can sit and study at. They have lots of other drinks so I do see myself coming back from time to time.

Instead of tossing it, they offered the butterscotch latte for free, which I really appreciated. Mistakes happen, but the way they handled it made for a great customer service experience. The banana matcha latte was really good, smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet, which is exactly how I like my matcha. The butterscotch latte wasn't my favorite because it was a bit too sweet for my taste, but if you have a sweet tooth, you'll probably enjoy it. They also have pastries and cookies, however I didn't get to The ambiance is definitely one of the highlights. The café has a cozy industrial vibe with exposed brick walls, warm lighting, and cute decor that makes it feel inviting. There are plenty of tables by the windows, a cozy back room that's quieter, and several spots that would be perfect for studying, working, catching up with friends, or even a casual coffee date. It has a relaxed atmosphere where you can easily spend a couple of hours. Overall, the drinks were solid, the customer service was thoughtful, and the space is somewhere I'd come back to try other drinks and sweets. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

I've worked at a bar and I understand having customers come in and forgetting an order but they didn't even acknowledge their mistake or apology. We got our drinks and all you taste is milk, you can't taste any coffee. They refunded the vanilla espresso and I just kept my shaken espresso. The avocado toast is delicious.
