A quaint little shop! It's pretty dark inside, but I think it's cozy. The espresso is good quality, and the food is good for the price point. The barista was very helpful and cheery :). The grits were a little lumpy but lumps were good because less salty. read more

DoorDash order ********* I got the breakfast burrito with angus steak & egg with cheese grits and an apple juice. Wraps could have been toasted (no option) quantity was small for price. Comes with 2 small burritos. The flavor was good and the egg was cooked to perfection. The cheese grits were salty and could have been more in the small cup. Apple juice did the job. I would go back when downtown to see the real menu and interact with staff. Didn't rate atmosphere because I door dashed. read more

This place is super cute. Located in downtown Evansville, it's accessible in an office building that has a parking lot which makes stopping in super easy! I came for breakfast and grab the vegan bagel (everything bagel with avocado and tomatoes), a side of cheesy grits (I'm clearly not a vegan), and the central perk latte! Everything was amazing and I can't wait to come back! Service was wonderful and the barista was lovely and helped me pick a flavored latte! read more

I could go here every single day and never get tired of it. The staff are so friendly it's almost criminal, and they have this uncanny ability to remember every single person (and their order) who's been here more than once. The coffee selection is on point and all their baked goods are made fresh from scratch daily (you can truly taste the difference). Both their breakfast and lunch menus are extensive but no exhausting and I have yet to taste something that I didn't enjoy immensely. If you need a good place to work, I suggest before the lunch crowd starts rolling in around 11/11:30am, but their wifi is strong and reliable (and free), the atmosphere is comfortable, and the tables are plentiful. Honestly only complaint is that there's only two available outlets, so don't show up with an uncharged laptop. All in all, this place is a local treasure and if you're in downtown Evansville for any reason, work or whatever, def check it out. read more

I had the breakfast club sandwich with cheesy grits. Delicious and filling! I'm not a coffee fan, so I opted for orange juice which they served in a handled mason jar mug! However, it looked like they had lots of flavored lattes and even loose leaf tea options. Great atmosphere, was able to have a work meeting here and there was plenty of table space to work with.

I ordered the garden salad for my next course while my husband chose the broccoli mushroom chowder. We each enjoyed our choice. For the main course I had the marinated grilled chicken with creamy spinach and artichoke, and my husband had the 16 ounce bone in ribeye. Both main dishes came with a twice baked potato and roasted vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green beans, bell pepper). My chicken was slightly overcooked, but it wasn't too noticeable with the creamy topping. My husband's steak was cooked to perfection. We both enjoyed the sides. We got dessert to go as we were so full by that point. I chose the carrot cake and he got the cheesecake. Our son was very happy we decided to bring the desserts home so he could also try them. Both were delicious, but the carrot cake was the standout. We look forward to returning to have their regular menu.
