Kanna and Botanical Tea

One of the best kava bars in the nation. We've seen our fair share and this is on the short list. Big shout to Ben and the team.

I've heard about kava for years but never experienced it until visiting here. Super chill ambiance, wonderful service and superb products! I was rooted and will be back for more with all my friends

This place is definitely different. I don't even know if I understand what it is exactly and I actually was here and had a drink. Lol. The guy behind the bar was super friendly and explained everything to me. Did I understand it? Maybe not, but it was an experience. From what I gathered from it, is that it is LIKE alcohol, but with out the negative effects. It chills you out, can make you happy. The cup of drink I had straight up tasted like dirt. He did say that kava tasted VERY earthy. It definitely did. Do I want another cup? Probably not. After I drank it my tongue did get numb. Guess that is what is expected. It can also make your face tingly which isn't bad at all. When he gives you the cup he gives it with some pineapple. He said to chug it and then to eat the pineapple. I can't chug so I had to just tough it out. There is also a plethora of teas to choose from. Non alcoholic wines. Some kava that is supposed to taste better. On the weekends there is live music, stand up. Seems like a super chill place to go to and chill. There is even a hammock outside.

I looked up local coffee joints by me and luckily Push and Pour was by me. I took that as a sign and headed in. Plus this Push and Pour has been on my to go list so it was meant to be! I love that Garden City is starting to revamp and flourish. It's been great seeing all these new local businesses and homes growing. I didn't realize a couple restaurants that I was by to hit up are close to this shop so it will be a must to do a coffee and food run one afternoon. The vibe of this shop is chill. I love the outdoor seating. I look forward to cooler weather when the big garage doors are open. Inside is beautifully decorated. The art on the walls are just stunning. Enough seating to chill and enjoy your drink. I ordered an iced cold brew with sugar free vanilla and cream. I usually order an americano when I try a new spot out. I wanted a richer coffee taste today so the ice brew was a must. The gal behind the counter was super sweet. I told her about my new kidney and asked her to put the cream in my drink for me. I can't use communal creams or waters. Without hesitation she said yes. I appreciate her so much! My drink was perfect. The cold brew was rich in taste. I did add an extra pack of sweetner and it wad perfectly sweet. It did have the right amount of half and half of it. The sweet barista made a great drink for me today. I'm happy that I got to come in and peep this joint out. I kicked it inside for a bit and checked out the patio. It was nice enjoying my drink here. The venue is very unique and different. It makes it incomparable to the other shops in town. I am going to do a food and drink run sometime soon! I look forward to another round of cold brew from this joint and I grab some tacos next door.

I've been excited for this place to open, although I'll admit I'll always miss Mel and Coffee &…read moreSupply, so coming here felt a little bittersweet at first. That said, Form & Function really does bring something fresh to Eagle. The vibe is modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed without feeling cold. I also think they have the biggest alt milk selection of any local coffee shop I've been to, and I've tried basically all of them around here. Their seasonal drinks are consistently good too. One underrated thing? They're one of the only coffee shops in Eagle actually open on Sundays and open later into the afternoon. That's surprisingly rare around here. (Yes, Eagle Coffee & Bakery is open too, but their coffee always tastes burnt to me.) This place clearly thought about how people actually use coffee shops. Tons of seating options, lots of outlets, side tables that work well for laptops, a big upstairs group table, plus a little play kitchen and games for kiddos. The downstairs can get a little loud because of the high ceilings, but it's still way calmer than most busy cafés. Everything is super clean, including the bathrooms, which honestly matters more when you have kids. One of my favorite little routines now is grabbing a coffee here and taking my daughter over to Stephen Guerber Park afterward.

I have had the pleasure of checking out their downtown locations, especially their location at the Sparrow. It's such a great vibe down there! After finding out that this location is right down the road from me, you know I had to make my way in. I came in later in the morning so it was pretty chill. The venue is bright and simple. I love the simplicity of everything. The walls aren't over decorated. The tables and chairs and nicely spaced, the big windows give such great bright lightening and there's wonderful outdoor seating available too. I initially was on the wrong end of the counter. I finally realized and made my way to the register. I wasn't greeted by a barista. She wasn't the friendliest but she wasn't rude, she was there. She got my order squared away and I just hung out till it was ready. While waiting, I did notice all the goodies they had available. The baked goods looked fresh and yummy. I do believe they have a chia seed pudding in the little refrigerated case, it looked good. I'll have to grab some chia seed pudding the next time I'm in! I got myself something different from my normal americano. Today's drink was an iced matcha with almond milk. I did ask for some sugar free syrup. The few couple drinks I have gotten from the two other locations were Chai so it's good to know about not having sugar free syrups as an option. The barista did offer me honey or maple syrup as an alternative. I took up on her suggestion for the honey. My drink looked fabulous. It was rich in color. I really like the ice they serve here, it's great ice to chew on. I do like my coffee/tea to be slightly sweeter so I did end up adding a couple packets of blue sugar to my drink. I did a good few sips before I added the extra sweetner. It was hearty in matcha and you can taste the creaminess of the almond milk. The honey was there but the added sweetener did help enhance the honey. I enjoyed the nice weather today and had my drink outside. They have quite a few options for outdoor seating. Picnic tables, a few andorak chairs and a pint size picnic table for kids were available. I appreciate the big umbrellas at the picnic tables. It gave nice shade. In the space between the coffee shop and the boutique next door is where a lot of the seating is. It's quite charming and relaxing. I adore the strung up lights. I couldn't really enjoy them today since it was so bright out but I can imagine it being a great way to end day in a fall day. A hot cup of coffee, sitting in a huge andorak chair under the lights. It's great to know this local coffee joint is right down the road from me. I have always gotten great drinks from the other Form and Functions so it's nice to have this location as an option. My drink was good and it was nice being able to enjoy it under a huge umbrella today. I do wish the staff was a little friendlier. I came later in the day so my mood is already set. I couldn't imagine having the people working today start my day. I wouldn't be in the best mood. Hopefully the customer service will be a pleasant as my drink the next time around.

Okay, so I'm REALLY glad I came here.

Very cool space and great ambience. My only suggestion would be to add a bit of lighting. I was trying to read under the sign and it was quite dark.

I would have never known about this shop if it wasn't for Google or Yelp. I had an hour before closing so I headed in real quick for a caffeinated beverage. Pulling up to the joint, it doesn't look like your basic coffee shop. It honestly looks like an office building. I love that they had Disciples in big bold letters on the door. It was a nice sign that I am in the right place. Walking in, this place is cool. Cool in mood, cool in atmosphere and cool in vibe. It's really quiet and chill. A great place to have an intimate coffee date or work. I was instantly greeted by a gentleman behind the counter. He grabbed my order and got my drink started. I ordered my usual drink today. A small iced americano with cream. They didn't have any sugar free syrup options which is a bummer. He did ask if I want monk fruit or stevia sweetner, I passed on both. He did offer raw honey so I took up on that offer! He finished my drink and I noticed there wasn't any cream. It was filled to the top so it was pretty watered down. He did pour some of the coffee out and added the cream. The raw honey was nice but it still wasn't sweet enough for me so I added a packet of blue sweetner. It's a drinkable cup of coffee but it does lack flavor cause it was so watered down. I had really high hopes for this joint. After reading the reviews, I had high expectations. It looked like they pushed out great coffee! The venue and the gentleman were on point today but my drink was a flop. While waiting for my drink, I noticed all the cool patches from different police departments. Supporting our police departments is so important to me! They protect and serve us so they have my highest respect. I appreciate the different badges on display. I feel bad that I didn't really like my drink. I do want to come back and try again! I don't know if our addition of raw honey threw of dude while he was making my drink. This place is too cool not to come back. If I'm down Chinden again and I'm in need of a caffeinated beverage, I'll be stopping in here again.

It has a very local, community feel that's getting harder to find. The coffee itself is fine -- not terrible, not "drive across town for it" amazing either. I usually just get the unlimited refill cup and drink from one of their mugs while I work for a bit. Where this place really shines is the baked goods and breakfast food. You can smell everything being made from their little kitchen, and it feels genuinely homemade in a way most coffee shops don't anymore. Their molasses cookies are somehow available year-round and I'm not exaggerating when I say if they're sold out, my day takes a turn. The quiche Lorraine is also legitimately excellent with a buttery crust, and they usually have a surprisingly good variety of gluten-free baked goods too. One thing I oddly appreciate: no music and no giant café chaos. Also no plugs, so this isn't the place to camp for 6 hours on a laptop. But if I need a quiet spot to answer emails or get 1-1.5 hours of work done without distraction, this is actually one of my favorite places to go.

I remember they have baked goodies that my husband would be interested in. He's doesn't like all the frilly stuff, just the good ol classics and Eagle Coffee has plenty of that! We came in around 12:30. It was pretty chill. A few guests outside enjoying the September weather and a couple guests inside. We checked out the food cases and found what we wanted. In my last review I had the keto quiche. It was a little overwhelming for me. The Mediterranean quiche was suggested so of course I had to try it. And it looked good in the food case. We were instantly greeted by a bunch a happy faces. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant for my husband. My Mediterranean quiche was ordered. I snagged a small iced cinnamon honey dirty chai with almond milk and a huckleberry lemonade for the husband. I believe everything we got is going to be so good! The ham and cheese croissant looked mighty tasty! It was nicely heated. You can tell it was nice and hot cause the ham and cheese was starting to slide out of the croissant. Husband smashed the whole thing and I wasn't even offered a bite. My quiche had beautiful pieces of zucchini and cheese on top. I really enjoyed the sun dried tomatoes in it. The filling was fluffy and soft. It was a great suggestion from the manager! I might have them heat it up just a hair longer next time, it could have been warmer. The huckleberry lemonade was killer!! It was tart, sweet and bubbly. I was only allowed one sip and I made sure it was big! My first round of chai did not look like normal and it didn't taste good. It was so dark and bitter. I did ask the barista if there was chai in my drink cause it didn't taste like chai. After we got it figured out, a new drink was made. My first one was not what I had ordered, I don't know what it was. My second round was almost perfect. The honey cinnamon chai was so good! It was sweet and spicy. I love the added cinnamon in there. It tastes like it should be cold and holiday season outside. I did pay for a shot of espresso to make it dirty which I never got. It was almost a cup of perfection. I really enjoyed our little coffee date here today. The food was good. Our drinks were tasty. The staff was nice. And it's conveniently down the road from us. I'm happy we stopped in today for our Sunday goodies. I look forward to another round of food and drinks from this joint.

It's been a while since I have been in. The shop was still being worked on the last time I grabbed a drink. Now that it's finally completed, it's just absolutely stunning.

So kind with the prettiest smile! I got a 24oz iced americano with sugar free vanilla and room for cream. I checked out the joint while it was being made. There was a guest before me so it gave me a chance to look at the merch and decor. My drink looked nice and rich before I added the cream. I asked the sweet gal for a straw that wasn't communal. Baby girl obliged with a smile and got me one from the back. I appreciate her so much! And let me tell you, I had the best iced americano to get me through the rest of my day! It was perfectly made. You can taste the espresso, it wasn't watered down. The vanilla was present and since I added the half and half, it was perfect! I appreciate that that she used cold water that had been chilled to make me americano. It made a big difference not melting the ice and watering down the espresso. It was a nice jolly of caffeine! I adore the barista that helped me today. She was gorgeous inside and out. And she killed it with my fabulous drink! I look forward to coming back soon and having another 24ozer.
