    A very small yet cute and modern coffee shop tucked into the corner of an apartment complex. We loved the super friendly baristas -- such a warm welcome right when you walk up. We tried the Ethiopian pourover (Darling Coffee Roaster) and the Vanilla Supreme Latte -- both were excellent. The blueberry hand pie (not too heavy, perfectly flaky, and just the right size) is probably the best I've had in a year. The bagel sandwich is refreshing and nicely balanced, perfect for a quick breakfast. There's basically no seating, and even pourovers are served to-go. So if you're looking for a place to sit down and work, this may not be the spot.

    Smaller space (no real seating) than the original, but same great menu and service. My latte was perfect as was the breakfast sandwich. The space is bright and cozy. Glad to have this closer to me in the neighborhood :)

    Checked out a new spot for breakfast this morning. We ordered the specialty vanilla latte and the brown sugar cardamom latte and they both were well made without being too sweet. We also ordered the bagel sandwich and a sea salt chocolate chip cookie and really enjoyed both. This place is new but so far it's very impressive with the menu and quality of food/drinks. Hope to be back soon!

    Good coffee and drinks, even if they're on the pricier side. The food has almost always been a disappointment. The breakfast sandwich is unsatisfying, especially for the price. Tried a turkey sandwich which wasn't bad, but not much to mess up there. Last straw was their scallion scone which was nothing but a fat ball of raw dough on the inside. Can't go back... which sucks.

Staff was friendly and it's always a nice little luxury to get a coffee not made from home in this economy! I had the vanilla bean latte, half sweet, oat milk And my friend had the koopa troopa, half sweet, oat milk They've had the same menu a long time so it's tried and true and then their seasonal offerings as well! Love this place. Bit of nostalgia for a different time. I remember the cereal bar. Now that I've made myself sound about a million years old it's time to sign off! Go catch up with friends here

    Not sure how Matt managed to get hired here, so I assume being rude is part of their training…read more After hearing great things about their coffee and being in town for a trip, I payed Wormhole a visit. I ordered 5 coffees one morning, and all the register guy did was write a few names on some cups and placed it down. I understand tipping culture is a divided topic of discussion, but at the end of the day, it is OPTIONAL. After pressing the skip button from what I believe to be non-tip worthy service, he threw a fit and said "Wow you're serious? After I did all that?" Meanwhile all he did was write names on cups. Now I would understand if he was the barista working hard to pump out the coffees, but two lovely ladies were in the back doing that. He shooed me and my friend out of line as we were still processing what he just said. The next customer orders and he had the audacity to talk about us to them while we're 5 feet away. Delusional as he was, he had the nerve to say we were holding up the line and made him do "all that work", and I could promise you, we knew exactly what we wanted to order the second we got up, and took no longer than 45 seconds. We also witnessed he got into it with another customer, so it seems like he's the problem here. Most wild service I have ever received, all for some milky coffees. I ended up tipping the lovely ladies in the back though. Be warned. There are much better spots.

From the moment you walk in, the space is absolutely stunning. The art, architecture, and décor make the entire experience feel special before you even sit down. There's a beautiful statue right at the entrance that immediately caught my attention--I had to take a picture. Since I was dining early, I decided to keep things light and ordered the fresh oysters and ceviche. The oysters were SO good that I ended up ordering a second round, which probably says everything you need to know! Everything tasted fresh, and the food paired perfectly with the atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting for the ambiance alone, but the oysters were easily the highlight of my meal. I'd absolutely come back.the service was 10/10. My waiter was very attentive.

I don't know what sorcery they are using to bake these scones, but they are not your average dry, flaky pastry. They are moist, gooey, huge, heavy on flavors and ingredients, and always delicious. I'm tempted to ask the owner to start texting me the scone flavors of the day so I never miss my favorites. Top 5 scones: - Peaches and cream - Cherry chocolate - Vanilla chai and/or vanilla rosemary (can't pick) - Lemon ginger - Chocolate caramel pecan Obviously I'm a sweet pastry person, but they also always have a couple of savory options like ham jalapeño cheddar, goat cheese, etc. I had one that was like blackberry habanero one time?? So good and so unique. Thank you, Ritual, for always feeding me scones :)

I took a sip. Yuck! I waited a few minutes, thinking, maybe it wasn't THAT bad, and tried another sip. Yuck! On my way out, I brought my drink back to the counter. It was still warm. I told the guy that the drink was terrible, that it tasted like warmed up Hersheys syrup. He took my drink and said, "Oh I'm sorry about that." I paused a second; he had nothing else to say. He didn't offer to make me a new drink. Didn't offer a pastry. Didn't offer a refund. I'm out $6 and I did not get to enjoy a treat. We're urged to support local, but experiences like this remind me why I like to go to the consistent chain that ALWAYS remakes my drink if there's a problem (which their rarely is), no questions asked. Totally disappointing. Would not go back because my drink was terrible and the customer service didn't exist.
