I stopped by this coffee shop expecting caffeine, and instead got... an experience? The coffee was…read moresomehow both exactly what I needed and not at all what I thought I ordered. It tasted like focus, with subtle notes of questioning my life choices--in a good way. The atmosphere felt like a place where time either slows down or speeds up depending on how long you stare at your cup. The barista seemed to understand my order before I said it, which was comforting and mildly unsettling. I left more awake than when I arrived, but not entirely sure if it was because of the coffee or the existential clarity it provided. Either way, I'll definitely be back, unless I already am.

The area was clean and the cute interior makes for a good social media photo op. The menu has good variety and explorative flavors that encourages repeat visits. I got a Mango Milk Tea and was not disappointed. It gave a Mango Lassi vibe and was very refreshing. My only downside was the bottom of the drink tasted gritty and had a white residue left at the bottom. Also, I initially wanted the drink with light ice and this was my first encounter at a shop that charges extra for light ice (45 cents). Not a huge deal and I understand that companies incur more costs for light ice or no ice. Maybe I could justify the additional charge for getting the drink without ice, but I still wanted ice---just not a lot of it. I just would've like to have been told about it or seen some signage about the additional charge since the toppings and other add ons are listed out. I could've missed where it was listed out, but I don't think I saw anything written out. Nonetheless, after a few healthy gulps, I was sad that the drink was gone. I would come back to try other items.

Stopped by here after searching for a coffee place I haven't been to yet…read more It was 9:30-ish am on a Sunday and had a decent amount of customers. Some working, some ordering to go, some hanging out with friends. The playlist was jamming! Was my first time here and was easy to order. The menu is on the wall and they have the seasonal menu there as well. I got the brown sugar cinnamon latte, warmed. It was good but not super strong in flavor. A hint but not milky if that makes sense. I'd order jt again. And it's reasonably priced. A little over $6 for a 16. oz. THEY DO NOT CHARGE EXTRA FOR MILK SUBSTITUTES!!!! I love that concept and wish all places did the same.

Plentiful seating outside. As mentioned in other reviews, parking was sparse. Half of the parking lot is reserved for residents of the apartment complex.

For the egg bites, we ordered, then they forgot the order. Once my wife went and asked, they got them. Didn't apologize. Then we tried them, and they were cold in the middle. Very annoying. Once we ate them, they were okay, nothing special. I got drip coffee and it was also just okay. Wasn't as hot as it could be. Wife got a vanilla latte and she said it was again, just average. We wanted a pastry but they had ZERO. On a Saturday morning. I don't know how that's even possible. We had to drive to Publix just to get something. Disappointing. As far as customer service, there isn't much. The young lady taking orders is very nice. However she isn't the most outgoing or talkative. The other two workers don't say anything and mostly just talked between themselves. Ambiance was okay. The place is very small so not tons of places to sit. This made our morning more of an annoyance than anything else. We drove out of the way to go here based on reviews and photos and it didn't meet our expectations, which are very basic.

The seasonal drinks are genuinely incredible and the coffee itself is some of my favorite in the area. The staff is always friendly which makes the place feel relaxed and welcoming. There are books and board games for anyone who wants to hang out and I believe there is a coworking space upstairs for members though I have not used it myself. If you are looking for a place with personality and great coffee, this is it.

I was super excited to check out this coffee spot! Figuring out parking was a little interesting,…read morebut I really appreciate them putting up signs about one specific lot. They have a sign on their back door warning you about being towed, so I was able to move my car immediately. Thanks so much for that!! The inside is super cute, they have a good amount of tables and fun decor. They also have tables out back for warmer months. I ordered the Calm latte which is just a vanilla lavender latte with oat milk. It was just okay. I'll have to try a different one if I go back sometime soon. I really enjoyed the french toast muffin I ordered though!! The staff was super nice and kind. I'll definitely try this spot again.

It has such a calm vibe with plenty of seating inside and some outdoors as well. I loved that they offer seasonal drinks alongside their classics and food options. We opted for a cortado, a vanilla lavender matcha, and a chicken chorizo breakfast burrito. Everything tasted delicious and was served fast. We sat for around an hour working on our laptops and weren't interrupted. There were people chatting as well, so it's a great space to do both. I absolutely loved the fact that you can get other drinks too, since they have a large selection of wines and seltzers. Everyone we talked with was super sweet--I can't wait to visit again!

The espresso was very tasty, and their espresso machine setup is genuinely fun to see. I also tried the tamago sando, which is a Japanese-inspired egg salad sandwich on Hawaiian shokupan. It was flavorful and pretty good overall, but $13 for an egg sandwich is a little hard to justify. The coffee is also on the pricier side, so this feels more like a treat than an everyday stop. That said, the staff was super nice, the ambiance is great, and it's definitely worth checking out if you want a cool coffee shop to work from or hang out in.

Love this place!!! Decided to meet up with a friend for coffee (well tea for me) and she suggested…read morethis place as 'the perfect spot'. And it was. I read through some of the other reviews and I want to set the record straight. Yes, it's inside a church but there is a separate entrance. Yes, there are Christian books but also other genres. Yes, the coffee is very affordable BECAUSE all the staff are volunteers. No one is getting paid and they LOVE what they do. All smiles and great service. The proceeds go to local and global missions of the church. Win, win all the way around. The place itself is very spacious. Two levels. The seating areas are comfortable and far enough apart you can have some semiprivacy if you need it. My friend who brought me says she comes here all the time to study (she's in college). All of the staff knew her by name. (love places like that) I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't really speak to the coffee (although my friend says it's pretty good). I am a tea drinker though and they have a variety of flavors, some refresher juice drinks, a few pastries. Please support. Every now and again if you're thinking of getting coffee or a pastry, choose them. Why not? Do some good for the community through others who are committed to giving back.
