What People Are Saying
from Google"Such a great new addition to the neighborhood! Drinks and food are delicious. Staff is super welcoming. Vibe has been perfect for both for doing work solo and for spending time chatting and playing games with others."
"Very friendly local coffee place, bit of a 60/70’s hippie vibe and music. Coffee from Porto Rico. Not quite the espresso pour I am used too, maybe stick with a brewed coffee and something to eat."
"A wonderfully welcoming and comfortable space!! I was looking for a cold drink, so I got their apple cider - I was expecting something premade, but was pleasantly surprised to see that they were brewing it to order and cooling it with ice since I ordered it cold! You can definitely taste that it’s fresh, too. Looking forward to spending more quality time with my community here."
"I had an Americano that was really great. The empanada was delicious and the service was friendly. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming. I love the fact that they have a library and a big table where you can meet new people!"
"A cozy and tasty addition to the local coffee shop selection!"
