The bonus here is there is a mini roaster and DJ area with two turntables and speakers. Can't wait to go back for some good vibing. My wife loved the ham and cheese danish.

UPDATE: Wow, what a speedy response, thank you. I usually…read morechat with the guy who runs this location who says he is a co-owner. I figured the limited hours had something to do with the menu. Now that you all have gotten rid of the DJ table and added more chairs, it does feel more like a standard cafe! I'm looking forward to the menu changes. Thanks for your consideration! Previous review: I really enjoy their beverages and I keep coming back. That being said, there is almost no price transparency. The only prices they have on their menu are for the THC additions. I've mentioned this to the owner twice (he's a cool guy) but he has always sort of shrugged it off. It bothers me every time I'm in. Sometimes my latte with oat milk comes out different prices. Price transparency is so important for consistency . Not including the prices is a bit elitist, especially when the average drink is $6-$8. You should want folks to come in and comfortably order what they can afford. I hope this suggestion is taken into consideration. The drinks are good and like I said, I keep coming back but this has been a sticking point for me for a year plus.

I don't think I've ever seen this many syrup flavors in one place. There's no seating inside since it's mainly a retail shop, but there's a bench outside. I also loved seeing how inclusive the space is with Pride flags throughout the shop. The Cross Cross Apple Sauce Latte (9/10) was nutty, not too bitter, and had the perfect amount of sweetness. I was expecting more apple, but it actually tasted more like vanilla with a subtle apple flavor. Still super good and honestly impressive for a latte this huge.

My favorite place to buy loose leaf teas! Highly recommend! Great variety and friendly staff! The…read moremenu of teas they sell is expansive and I found myself tempted to buy so much more than I planned. They carry a variety of herbal, green, white, black, and floral infusion teas. I love the calming sleep and immunity blends. This place gets very busy especially in the mornings since they also sell coffee/tea to go. A line up of folks happily walking out with their morning drinks. I suggest looking through their menu of teas and take a walk around to look at the jars of teas and coffees. Then make a list and head up to the counter. At the counter you can mention what you'd like to purchase and meet the employee over by the teas. You can ask about any teas you like and/or get suggestions. The staff member was very helpful in suggestions and letting me smell some of the floral teas. I walked away with a variety of lose teas and even got some matcha powder too! They store coffee beans in big barrels and can grind for you too. The shop also carries various coffee and tea accessories, mugs, T-shirts, and even vintage gum! No restroom or indoor seating. This is a gem of a place! I came back after over 15 years and it is still the same cozy welcoming shop where I could get lost in the many jars of tea, spices, and coffee beans.

The cafe is immaculate and service was very friendly. The person who took our order was patient as he explained the different pastries in the case. I wish they had signs explaining what each pastry was so I could have decided while waiting in line. We ended up sharing an iced pistachio latte (delicious and 10/10!), the pistachio cheesecake (10/10!), and the strawberry mousse cake (7/10 - a subtle sweetness, great texture, but needed more cake or crust inside as it was mostly whipped cream and the shell). The mousse cake was $12.00, which felt steep considering it was mostly whipped cream, even though it was obviously beautiful. We would definitely come back for the coffee and to try more menu items! Check this place out!

I arrived and ordered my coffee. They have different milk options which is great for people with allergies. I inquired about the sausage used in the breakfast burrito and the employee said they had no idea what kind of meat it was. A sad day for people with food allergies. I opted for a safer option. The food and pastries are not made in house. I thought it would be but that's okay. The coffee shop itself is very inviting. There are a lot of area to sit and work. The ambiance felt very comfortable. I only stayed long enough for my breakfast and coffee to be made/warmed. The coffee was floral but bitter. I had to put sugar into it to try and balance the bitter burnt flavor. But given an option between a very popular name brand or this place, I'll stick to Happy Monday. The sandwich bread was burnt. I wouldn't try the food again.
