Mendocino county hasn't had a place like this yet and it's really cool. Tap room/coffee bar and breakfast spot all combined with a cool vibe. It's a good place to hang out. Looks like a wood fireplace in the corner, hope they run it in the evenings. The coffee was more than solid and so were the bagels and scones we tried. It was an SF surfer/hipster crowd when we stopped in, def not a locals spot but it could have been the timing. The staff were brusque and short but very busy and signage was up so fair play. It seemed like a good crew. Patio was dog friendly for our boys not sure about inside we didn't ask. The mendo coast needs a place like this that has a modern take on coffee. Good job y'all.

Picture perfect cafe discreetly tucked away a block off Main Street with a small but mouth-watering selection of sweet and savory pastries, including gluten free and vegan options. The morning light was to die for, and the friendly banter with Gustavo made our morning. No stop of mine will be complete in Mendocino without a flat white here.

A cozy coffee shop with great interior representing an old house. Their service is great and they have enough place to host 20+ people at a time. We tried their matcha latte, croissants, cappuccino, and latte. I have to say they were amazing. I got the matcha and it was too good. Usually people tend to mess with matcha ending up with a bitter drink. They had a perfect balance and I loved it and the croissants were fresh, buttery, crunchy on the outside and soft inside. My family was pleased with the coffee as well. They said their coffee blend was perfect and refreshing. They have restroom access and minimum parking space. Was a bit crowded when we vacated for long weekend. Overall a good place to hangout and catch up with friends.
