I sat in a comfy chair to warm up from the cold outside (even tho i got a cold brew...) for a bit between screenings. Restrooms for paying customers only, and you gotta ask for the code to the door.

Our drinks were perfectly balanced and the microfoam is outstanding - I will never have foam in my latte anywhere else because this place does it right. We came on a slow holiday morning, the barista was super friendly and attentive to everyone who came in while we were there and we enjoyed the conversation with our coffee. The vibe is artsy and eclectic and the atmosphere is welcoming. They're also at the Columbia Farmers Market on Saturdays if you don't get downtown much. If you're looking for something new, the ube syrup is a must-try!

This shop has three stand outs to me. If you're Just a simple coffee drinker - try the Madagascar vanilla nut. If you like (hot) chai lattes they have my favorite out there so far! I tried a frozen lemonade recently and it's so yummy and refreshing during the summer. One location is open until late evening which I think is awesome. I find myself wanting a late coffee now and again but most importantly I respect later hours because it gives students a place to go outside of their home to get a drink and work done in a comfortable environment.

I was able to order online with ease while we finished getting gas and a car wash. By the time we were done my order was ready which was about 10 mins. Since we had to get back on the road we couldn't stay to eat especially since our pup was in the car. However, from what I could tell the inside was very inviting. The staff was also very nice. Food and coffee were both great. I got a croissant sandwich and the potatoes. My only critique would be to cook the potatoes just a touch longer so they are crispy like they look online and a little more seasoning. My wife had to go back in to get me salt and pepper for them. I had a macchiato as well which was great. If we ever drive through the area again on a road trip I'll be sure to stop by again.

My husband and I happened to waltz in during their happy hour, and must have got the roasted blend drip that was made hours before, and the most obvious reason they had it at a discount price. It's a hair above office coffee taste, and did the job to get me awake. The space is a bit small, and the customers were quietly studying, but the baristas were a bit too chatty.

Recently I ordered a sandwich and iced coffee via the mobile app at 3:30 pm. Arrived at the store at 3:40 to find a note that said "see barista". After standing in line, I was informed that they were out of lettuce and tomato. After confirming I still wanted the sandwich, they proceeded to take another 20 minutes to make it. I left the store at 4:00, realizing later I never got the side with my sandwich either. Mobile ordering is supposed to cut down on wait time in the actual store :/
