The most amazing and adorable small cafe hidden on the edge of center city. Wonderful atmosphere and very friendly/caring staff. He was quick and polite, even gave us ideas on what we should get! And the drinks taste just as good as they look! Perfect to cool down on a hot day, will definitely go back!

From Jersey, In PA for the weekend stopped in for coffee.. amazing service and honestly the best coffee I've ever had not even lying. His shirt said a big Papi, that man was so unbelievably kind and sweet and told us where to go and things to do in the area. Next time I'm in Allentown I will be going back. Such a pleasant experience. Definitely stop in if you're in the area you won't be disappointed!!!

Writing a review after having to bop from their two locations trying to even figure out if they're…read moreopen. PLEASE update the stores Yelp, and Google hours as they differentiate from the hours listed on their door and the website. ONTO THE COFFEE First up ~ Banana pancake cold brew, with no cinnamon sprinkle on top (per my request) ~ 5.5/10 - The Cold brew itself has a great strong flavor. However there is no flavor beyond that. I did read their menu online prior to ordering and that definitely adds to my disappointment. The described maple and banana notes that the coffee "should" have are missing completely. They make a lot of their specialty syrups and flavors homemade which had me really excited, so I was quickly bummed to taste absolutely none of it. Next up ~ Black Cold brew with Vanilla ~ 7/10 - Simple, basic and what you expect. Not much to add here. Lastly, The FOOD ~ We ordered the Turkey bacon, double egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant. ~ 7.5/10 - The sandwich was good! I wouldn't order this again unless I was in a rush. The turkey bacon a little bit sweet and that was great. The Croissant was toasted well, however we were let down by the egg, it seemed to be baked? As if they cooked up a large egg bake for these specifically. Which personally, I wasn't expecting or a fan of. The Spongey texture was really a miss. I do think a bit of salt and pepper would've improved this overall. -

The best coffee spot in the area. Great flavors. Good spot to study and do work!…read moreWe got the spice spice baby and let it bee coffees, both were very well made! Highly recommend checking out this spot if you're in the area.
