WiFi with lots of plugs, a great selection of various coffee as well as uncaffeinated drinks, pastries, delicious food selections, and even art on the walls. One side of the restaurant even has a bar I was excited to see the Lox served with herb goat cheese mousse on como bread instead of the standard cream cheese which I can't eat. With an ample serving of salmon it was just what I wanted for breakfast while visiting the Pacific Northwest. My friend got the Avocado toast which consisted of two open faced slices of bread with avocado sprinkled with flavorful herbs and chili flakes. I couldn't believe it was only 11.50 ! Both were served with arugula my favorite leafy green!! Instead of coffee, I tried a Mahsa Chai for the first time. No hemp milk, so I got almond which made it taste less spice-y than I expected. Claiming to be zero calories, zero sugar, zero jitters, it was a nice mellow, calming alternative to coffee with a ton of ingredients that I like! A great alternative to Starbucks for professionals to get work done!

Super cute neighborhood spot that we've been wanting to try, and we finally did for a Sunday…read morebrunch. Limited indoor seating so we snagged an outdoor table. Unfortunately the umbrellas do little to block late morning sun so bring your shades and hats! Lots of families and dogs around. Service was hit or miss. Even though we ordered roughly the same time, our friend's order came out immediately whereas we waited so long for ours (even checked to make sure it wasn't sitting somewhere getting cold) that she was done with her food by the time ours arrived. Not ideal. It's also the reason I didn't take photos for the first time! We were famished. Food wise, everyone was very pleased with the savory orders. She had a bowl and we had the biscuits and gravy. Both incredibly delicious and good value for the size. Unfortunately we also got the Belgian waffle which was a huge miss. It was neither fluffy, nor thick, nor crispy. Instead it was rather chewy, as if the batter had been overmixed, and instead of a berry compote as advertised it came with those Welches jelly peel packs. Usually the dessert wraps up a nice meal but in this case it was completely disappointing. Street parking only but not hard to find a spot. Would go back for a savory dish; skip the waffle!

The Loss of a True Neighborhood Anchor…read more For years, this coffee house was the primary reason I loved living in this neighborhood. Under its original stewardship, it provided a rare "third place"--a vital social anchor where writers, neighbors, and local faces created a true sense of home. It was a space where you could spend two hours writing in the morning, knowing the flow would be punctuated by the pleasant interruptions of catching up with familiar locals. When the new ownership took over, I eagerly supported them, hoping that inclusive community spirit would endure. Unfortunately, the culture has shifted toward a rigid, punitive customer service framework that completely lacks the ability to navigate human communication differences or de-escalate sensitive situations. A simple, polite morning request to lower the early morning music unexpectedly scaled into an antagonistic confrontation with young staff. Then, in a subsequent incident, instead of a calm intervention, during a conversation, I was publicly yelled at across a crowded room by another young employee. Their continued rude behavior pushed me past a breaking point out of sheer anxiety, and I uncharacteristically lost my temper, resorted to profanity, and walked out. While I take full ownership of my part--reacting defensively under that immense stress--the owners' ultimate solution was to permanently ban a long-term, 5-plus years loyal patron rather than engage in a mutual conversation about what caused the friction in the first place. For an establishment that projects an image of neighborhood inclusivity, the reality is a stark lack of grace. By prioritizing a punitive model over community care, the new management has hollowed out the very environment that made this place a longtime, beloved local fixture. It is deeply saddening and has been a great upset to lose such a meaningful part of my daily neighborhood routine, but those who value a truly inclusive, understanding neighborhood environment should be aware of how the culture here has fundamentally changed.

Their back patio is absolutely adorable and the perfect spot to sip a coffee, catch up with friends, or enjoy a quiet moment outdoors. What really sets them apart is their unique concept. During the day, it's a cozy coffee shop, but after 2pm they begin transitioning into a wine bar and stop serving coffee at 6pm I think it's such an ingenious idea - coffee by day, wine by night! It gives the space a whole new personality in the evenings. The atmosphere is charming, the concept is creative, and there's so much to love about this place. I'm excited to have them in the neighborhood and can't wait to keep coming back.

There were plenty of people working, families hanging out, business meetings going on, etc. They hosted some live music out here during the Overlook Porch Fest and it was a great venue. I got a pistachio latte. It was great. I've never had complaints about their coffee, except perhaps for the thin glasses they are served in. I might prefer a mug. I'll definitely be back for the coffee and the patio!
