This place ABSOLUTELY stuck with me for so many reasons!!! Firstly, when you open the door and step in, you will see how pretty and charming this spot is. We were greeted by this lovely beautiful lady and had a conversation about kids getting into The Beatles. We sat on the backyard and waited for our orders which were The Best Egg Sandwich with Sausage and Black Bean burger with a bean soup which Im not sure what it’s called (Maybe: Tuscan Bean soup). The food blew our minds!! It was an orchestra of taste. So yummy that we went back the very next day as well, where I got the breakfast burrito and of-course, the soup again, DID NOT DISAPPOINT AT ALL!! People who work here are incredible!!!! They also have art and craft corner and board games upstairs which is beautiful too!

The espresso is sublime, multilayered in notes, not over or under extracted. Food was beautiful, fresh, and well prepared. Vibe was attractive and comfortable.

Found this local spot when we were looking for a quick coffee. That quick coffee turned into a lovely experience as we sat down to enjoy it in home style mugs. The barista/server (Ryan?) provided a witty and hilarious dynamic to the experience. He gave great local recommendations. Not to mention, the mocha latte was probably the best one I’ve ever had. Please give this coffee shop the business they deserve!

One of the few places where everything tastes amazing. All the food is made with the freshest ingredients, and there are specials daily. Everybody I have brought here loves it too; from hard to please adults to picky kids.

My friends and I visited this spot for the first time with the intention of supporting a local small business — unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing. We ordered two coffees and an iced tea/lemonade drink, which turned out to be nothing more than a cup of water with a black tea bag tossed in. At $8.50 per drink, I expected far more — especially when the tea wasn’t even steeped. I also ordered a black bean burger, which was decent, but definitely not worth a 40-minute wait, especially with the kind of service we received. After waiting 20 minutes for three very simple drinks, I approached the pickup window to check on the order. The staff looked directly at me but ignored me completely for another five minutes before eventually placing the drinks on the counter withou
