I bought a "pothead" hat to take back home, I love it. I got the bourbon maple latte with oat milk. I always forget that I don't love bourbon flavoring in my coffee, but it was still good. The other two in my party loved their drinks. The atmosphere was friendly and also nice for a workspace. Also cute merch!

They play classic coffeehouse music playing while you're sitting and sipping. And my favorite part is if you're staying in with your coffee, they will give you a ceramic/glass mug/cup for your coffee instead of automatically giving plastic. All the baked goods are delicious and they have fun and interesting beans for purchase. The owner Jackie is so kind and wonderful to chit chat with while she's making drinks. Highly recommend

Fantastic coffee but better owners highly recommend the baked goods are the best always fresh and…read morehot

We recently had Cathy's Creative Catering cater my daughter's second birthday. We had a breakfast…read moretheme and decided on breakfast for dinner! We chose a waffle bar, sausages, hashbrowns and a fruit salad. The staff was so kind and came right in time to set everything up. They served about 40 of our guests, and the food was all delicious!! They took out trash for us from time to time and cleared dirty plates. We had a birthday cake which they kindly cut for us even though I did not purchase it from the company. (We have had their cupcakes and peanut butter pie for our wedding a few years ago and they both were delicious!!) We had such a wonderful experience with them and were able to relax and enjoy our daughter's birthday with family and friends. We will be returning customers for other parties in the future!

Parking was decent here and they had a food truck, which was great. Couple reasons I liked this spot: - Live music (the guy playing was talented) - Very cozy (just one room with tables and a bar plus nice Christmas decorations) - Late 30s to 60s aged crowd - Flights available I wasn't impressed, though, with the strawberry milkshake IPA I had and unfortunately I was the DD, so couldn't drink anything else. They were top heavy on their IPAs. I do wish I had been able to check out their cocktails. I'd recommend this spot to take a date and for atmosphere. I'd come back again if I were in the area.

The selection of coffee is always rotating and updating so you never get tired of their choices. You can request the beans roasted to your preference. I've never been disappointed. They're so solid I pay to ship coffee from PA to the West Coast because I know the quality of the coffee and roast are both spot on. Do yourself a favor and give them a try.

Our system glitched a few times but he was patient and was able to get us back online with no issues. We would've been upset for losing time due to glitches onmy side but his personality and service made up for it. He made my bfs birthday a blast and made a excellent latte as well! Our first experience was so memorable by him that we can't wait to come back. It was worth it for us to drive an hour out! Thanks Dakota!

Their equipment is top notch. I as a 49 year old had a blast. Yesterday I took my son and 3 of his friends here for his birthday. They had such a great time doing cooperative play. The staff is so knowledgeable and friendly. Something that really blew my mind was how good their coffee was as well. I'm kind of a coffee snob as I have an amazing "superautomatic" espresso machine at home. The VR Cafe coffee is probably the best in the mall and quite reasonably priced. If your at the mall and need a good coffee, look for this place. You won't be disappointed. If you want to have some fun while you're at the mall, play a game or two here. This old man had a blast. The kids can't wait to go back (me too). Worth every Penny.

It's open Sunday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and Friday and Saturday until 7:00 PM. Even though it was the middle of the day, I still couldn't resist ordering breakfast. This time around I went with the Bacon Strip Wrap, packed with crispy bacon, American cheese, onion, and jalapeños. They were out of home fries, so I opted for hash browns instead. My friend ordered an egg and cheese sandwich on a buttery-crisp croissant, served with hot, golden-brown French fries. All the food was well prepared, the staff was friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. I'm happy to see this place back in action.

Because of that alone, it attracts a great mix of local regulars, even on weeknights, which gives it a lively but comfortable vibe. The décor is modern and fun without trying too hard, exactly the kind of place you want to settle into for a relaxed late-night meal. It feels welcoming, not rushed, and perfect for lingering over a bowl of ramen. The service matches that energy: friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to have you there, which makes a big difference late at night. Given the other reviews, the ramen wasn't horrible. Not sure why the complaints are expressed. In real honesty, unless the bowl of ramens (is that plural?) are teleported straight from Japan - not going to expect a lot. Which is even more noteworthy to mention that food-wise, there's a nice variety to choose from, whether you're craving something rich and comforting or lighter and more balanced. Ramen does not have to be the one, all the time. (Even though the winter season makes it more satiating to have ramen.) Everything feels thoughtfully put together, and it's clear this is a place that takes pride in both flavor and experience. We had a variety of apps, bubble teas, and there was dessert at the end, too. For versatility, this is a definitely a good spot. If comparing to cuisines from Japan, um... I think we should lower our standards a bit and just enjoy the ambience, and night out. Overall, I'm so glad this spot exists for us night owls. It fills a much-needed gap in the local food scene and has quickly become the kind of place you're grateful to know about when everything else is closed. Please support your local businesses!

There was a funky smell in the cup (but I would never send anything back). The restaurant was close the hospital that we were visiting so it was convenient & open till 10. The waitress was nice enough but was overwhelmed with other customers so we barely saw her. The food itself took about 30 min before it was on our table. I don't think we'll be back. There were so many choices in the area.
