What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"I love going here on my way to work. They have such good service and options and the pastries are always so so good. It’s also just a great place to work on stuff or read or catch up with a friend I really love the vibe and energy there and with good coffee too? It’s one of my favorites"
"If you’re looking for a cozy spot with incredible coffee and warm, genuine service, this coffee house is an absolute gem!! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the friendly energy of the staff. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the outstanding service. Every member of the team goes above and beyond to make you feel at home, but Anne deserves a special mention. Her welcoming smile and caring nature instantly brighten your day. She takes the time to remember regulars names and favorite drinks, and her attention to detail makes each visit feel personal and memorable. In short, this isn’t just a coffee house, it’s a place that warms your heart as much as your cup. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great coffee, friendly people, and genuine hospitality."
"My favorite spot for a cup of coffee. Great to sit outside or take for a walk around one of my favorite neighborhoods. WiFi login on the receipt allows you three hours of internet."
"I am a regular here for almost 2 years. So here's my two cents: Amazing space to relax and work or leisurely read. Staff are very friendly and hard working. I love their pastries and cookies and their sandwiches are pretty solid. So here's the rub: The latte coffee is often really bad so it's unfortunatelt 3 stars for me. It sometimes tastes so burnt (the setting on the frothing/steamer machine must be too high often, it tastes burnt a lot). I also think maybe they should try a different supplier for their coffee beans. If I absolutely have to get caffeine here I usually just order a cortado. It's usually made well. If they up their game in the coffee grind, I'll delete this and make it 5 stars. I do love coming here to relax, and intend to continue but sadly don't get coffee at "the perfect cup" anymore. 🙁"
"Loved my Americano. Not all coffee is the same and this is place centeainly better than Starbucks. Not sure how they compare to Ground Swell coffee which is in the same neighborhood."
"amazing local coffee shop my lil guy knows there are "nanas" past the door where mum and dad enjoy a great cup of coffee and some tasty sweet/savory..."
