i went here during highschool. i would pretty much run to get here, since they do close early…read more what a great option for vegans & health-conscious individuals. i'm one of them!
go check out their fall menu! my favorite coffee flavor, pretty much ever, is apple spice--this place had it! it was an apple cinnamon spice coffee, and it made me believe in love again. my best friend had a blackberry matcha (very refreshing to see blackberry rather than blueberry).
the aesthetic is very homey, cottage-esque, woodsy, earthy, etc. i hope you can understand what picture i'm trying to paint here, because the atmosphere at this place is top-notch! there's a bunch of seating, cozy crannies to sit and study in, private corners, and a very pretty vibe. the tables looks like cute wood stumps, including the chairs. you can also purchase merch, homemade items, and more.
my go-to as a kid was a chai latte! i would always grab a gluten-free cupcake--only if they were available. i recommend it, if you are not a coffee drinker. it was phenomenal.
the workers are incredibly sweet. i had a whole convo with the person taking my order, haha! they are super friendly, accommodating, and have a lot of patience for all my questions.
the only thing is, i'd recommend getting there quite early. it gets packed, but the place is genuinely worth it. when my friends want to go to starbucks, i beg to go here instead. their pastries are yum! if the owner sees this, please keep the spiced apple latte and gluten-free cupcakes! they give me hope in life.
it's moderately priced. granted, coffee spots are not super cheap--but, this place is a better deal than most of these highly-rated shops. when i was a teen on a budget, and a young college student like i am now, this place is worth the penny.
i'm a big fan of vegan options, gluten-free pastries, and almond milk. i only drink almond milk, and try to only have gluten-free pastries. i don't remember if the alternative milk cost extra, but i hope it didn't. (that's my usual negative about a lot of places; up-charging for alternative milk). they have a ton of savory and sweet options to pick from, so i definitely will be coming here to study for university.
overall, do go here! worth the trip! xoxo
