Such a cute and cozy coffee shop! They have tons of seating, free Wi-Fi, great coffee with several flavors, and bakery/deli goodies. Coffee/food: 7/10 So to be fair I only tried the coconut latte with milk substitute and the strawberry cheesecake (I was prepared for the consequences of consuming dairy that day). The coffee was pretty darn good! It didn’t come out piping hot so it cooled down pretty fast, but I finished it quickly enough to avoid it getting too cold. I think they could be just a bit more generous with the flavor, but the hint of coconut was noticeable enough to enjoy it. The cheesecake itself was decent, but the strawberry compote on top was not. Part of me thinks it was ruined from sitting in their fridge without being covered. What people don’t always realize is food dries out when left uncovered in a refrigeration system and it can also absorb smells/tastes of other uncovered foods that share the refrigerator space. Not sure if this is why it came out so bad, or maybe it’s just my taste buds. Service: 10/10 Top notch! The cashier was super patient, polite, knowledgeable of the menu and allowed me to custom make my coconut latte because I don’t like mocha (the only coconut option I saw was a mocha based coffee). She was the only person I interacted with so that’s unfortunately the only comment I can provide. Environment/ambiance: 9/10 Super cozy! Lots of cushioned seats, even a couch, tables and chairs! The cushioned seats look like they could use some cleaning, but I don’t easily get grossed out and I sat on the couch without an issue. Dim lighting for a calming atmosphere but it definitely made me sleepy! I was only there for 45-mins trying to get some work done, but the late night and dim lights got me so sleepy that I decided to call it quits and head out. Next time I’m going to make my latte extra strong. Overall this is such a cute and comfy coffee shop to chat with friends and definitely a go-to study spot. I will be back for sure.
Cute coffee shop with breakfast sandwiches and paninis. Also lots of desserts that looked delicious but I didn't try. I had the egg and cheese croissant sandwich that was really good. The place is charming with lots of antiques and books to read. You can also bring your laptop and sit in a cozy corner. Atmosphere and environment is awesome, do come and visit. Finding parking can be tough however.
Atmosphere is nice, the bathroom situation isn’t great. They have a key but it leads to people having to wait either by the restroom or for the key which can be confusing. Patrons put there stuff down then get in line. When we finally got our tea/coffee is was difficult to find a spot. I suggest asking patrons to order first. My iced tea taste like perfume but that was okay too. Cute vibe though…
Really great cozy place with chill environment and service. Good food too. Gotta try the egg and cheese croissant. Heavy atmosphere on the "library" section. Felt uncomfortable to talk. But ot was separated thank God. 🤫
A super cute/cool cafe. Pastries and coffee were awesome and the ambiance was terrific. It lives up to its name.
Pretty cute place! Coffee was a little too sweet but it was a great vibe
Very warm atmosphere with affordable coffee. The owners are nice and genuine people running a small business. My teenage high school friends continue to come here as adults to either study or catch up.
perfect place to work remotely for a bit on my roadtrip! plenty of parking nearby and dog friendly inside as well, so my pup could sit with me! I enjoyed the croissant breakfast sandwich too!
