they should definitely stop selling coffee. literally selling hot black water as coffee. but the atmosphere and banana bread is 10/10.

I’m done with this place. Yes, the food is good. That’s literally the only reason I kept coming back for years. But the owner, who also works here, is consistently rude, dismissive, and acts like customers are an inconvenience. The attitude is nasty, the social skills are nonexistent, and it ruins the entire experience. And for what? The food and drinks are overpriced for this area, so you’d expect at least basic respect and decent service. Instead you get treated like you should be grateful they’re taking your money. What really sealed it for me was overhearing another customer complaining about the same terrible treatment from the owner. So it’s not a bad day, it’s a pattern. After being a loyal customer for 10 years, I won’t be back. If you care about being treated like a human being

Cosy friendly cafe with the best coffee I've had anywhere in the Bay Area. Very laid back relaxed atmosphere. I felt welcomed in a quiet and accepting way. Fresh delicious food. Not only kid friendly, but dog friendly and people friendly. My kind of place.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Christopher Lew · Oct 2022

What a cute cafe! I really enjoyed the local vibe here. Everyone is asked to bus their own tables, and the drinks were very good. I ordered an Americano. I would say that the breakfasts are not exactly worth the cost. We ordered an egg, toast, and sausage breakfast and that was something easily made at home for like 1/10 the cost lol. I'd come here to hangout and get drinks though!
