★★★★★ 5.0 Mira Akbar · Feb 2026

A fantastic little place! It somehow manages to have a homey cozy downstairs, AND a super classy professional feel upstairs. I feel like I could meet with friends OR get work done, and have the perfect space for each. I was amazed to find an unwashed Ethiopian Guji bean being used for espresso, and it was roasted just dark enough to work well in lattes. They roast in house, and so props to the roaster! It's hard to get Ethiopian beans to stay fruity while still being dark enough to hold up to milk. As a bonus, parking is super easy and has no hourly limit.

A very pleasant little place with good , fresh injera (from teff flour so gluten free!) and nice lentils and vegetables. It has both a food cart attached to it and a nice little sit-down cafe area. And my friend said she liked the coffee.

If you want to actually taste your coffee, go here. Ordered a Soy Dirty Chai and a Soy Latte (no sugar/syrup added). The balance was impeccable. You get the richness of the bean without it being masked by sweetness or milk. It's just a genuinely good, high-quality cup of coffee.

This is a very nice cozy spot. It also has a whole seating area and bathroom upstairs. There is also a tv. Great space for a meeting of like no more than 15 people. Also a great coffee date place. The food is good and the prices great! They even have a drink that is 4 shots of espresso and hot water that is only $4.25 all day! Starbucks can't beat that. The lady there was very nice. I will definitely be going back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Janeway Bain · Dec 2024

Lovely lil coffee shop, delicious coffee with fun flavors and high quality beverages for the refined & casual coffee enjoyers. Culturally diverse food options with delicious vegetarian & breakfast options included in the menu. Amazing and unique atmosphere with lots of cozy character. A perfect place to sit down & relax for a quick sip, bite, study session, or meet up with an old friend. A must visit small & local business with great options and good prices.
