The employees were friendly and helpful as I ordered my latte and a croissant. I was pretty sure I ordered it iced, but it came out hot. (Not a big deal.) The latte was okay, I'm not sure what kind of oat milk they use but I think it wasn't my favorite. The spinach and feta croissant was flaky and tasty but I wish they had a way to warm it up (or maybe they do and I should have asked). The vibe inside for to-go orders is bright and cheery, once you go down to the main seating level it's a bit dark and cozy. The wifi was fast and reliable, and there is a decent amount of seating for the space. Metered street parking is available on the surrounding streets. It's not my go-to spot, but if you're downtown and need a caffeine pick me up, stop in!

For the description of what the drink was, it fell short from the experience. It was a seasonal Japanese style drink with undertones of anise, ginger, and cinnamon, with some smokiness and a housemade syrup. The service was wonderful and supportive with my indecisiveness haha I hope I have a better experience next time!

The new space is way bigger and brighter, with lots of natural light and space to hang out, get some work done, and enjoy a unique beverage + vegan breakfast sandwich! They also have a lot of fun art everywhere, as well as plenty of cute and irreverent items for sale. Loved the Snoopy stuff! Nate and I stopped in recently to get something from their summer menu - I tried the reaper: vegan caramel syrup, cream soda, espresso, and oat milk marshmallow vanilla cold foam. Nate ordered the sacred heart: lemon syrup, tonic, matcha, oatmilk marshmallow vanilla cold foam, with a dried lemon garnish. Phew! They were both very tasty, smooth and not too sweet. I always enjoy the opportunity to try something unique, and Morning Ritual has always provided that. Also, major points for taking our names for our drinks! Hearing "oat milk latte" and then seeing someone else take your drink is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to coffee shops. It's such a small thing that can make such a big difference and yes I will continue to write about this in every coffee shop review ever, lol. It looks like the space will serve as a music venue, and their sign also mentioned a photobooth, which wasn't there when we visited, so I'm excited to see what they will offer to the community as they continue to bloom in this new location. Parking: metered street parking is available nearby, be prepared to walk a bit!

It was a Saturday around 8:30-8:45 a.m., and the place was so busy that sending it back didn't feel worth it, so I went with it. It turned out to be their breakfast "sandwich," just made with a waffle instead of bread, featuring eggs, onions, tomatoes, and bacon. Since I don't eat bacon, that was the only element I didn't care for, but otherwise it was a very good meal. I also ordered the café miel, which was excellent. I'd definitely come back for the waffle (just without bacon next time!)

The place was pretty busy but we managed to get a table. We weren't near any outlets but I did see a few scattered along the walls. The vibe is pretty cozy with mismatched chairs and what look like church pews. I ordered a flat white with oat milk and Nate got a pour over. The prices were pretty cheap, lower than most coffee shops in the area (only $5 for a latte) which was nice. They also took my name for my drink which I loved! They also have a small food menu with bagels and spreads and sandwiches. I do wish they had some more fun seasonal options for coffee drinks, the menu is pretty basic. Some other cool features of this coffee shop include gender neutral restrooms with vacant/occupied locks (love those) and a wireless printer. It was pretty loud while we were there, but I have noise canceling headphones which helped. Definitely a busy spot, so if you need an outlet I'd recommend getting there early. I liked this coffee shop but I think I'd pick Ferris over it (which is next door). Still, if I'm in the area again I might stop by.

I live for fun specialty matcha and while they did have one on the menu, the pine flavors weren't appealing to me. Surprisingly, the real star of the show was the bagel. Not the avocado spread that was on it, that just tasted like that overly acidic stuff you get in the little cups, but the bagel itself was amazing. It was chewy but not tough to chew. I loved its soft doughy texture. They also had some vegan treats available that i'd love to try next time. The matcha was good but not my top pick in GR but that bagel would definitely bring me back.
