"A very cozy place. Love, the decorations and vibes… I came here to do a business meeting and meet with some people and drink coffee and chat. Had some avocado toast. Everything was delicious. Very nice Place."
"I love it! I first started out only going for the coffee drinks, then I branched out into lunch, and now have made it to happy hour….i highly recommend that chocolate raspberry martini, I almost want to lick the glass clean (ok who am I fooling, I have) 🤷🏻♀️. It’s a small place, they do have a back patio when the weather is nice."
"A lovely coffee/tea/cafe plus food. We stopped here for a light breakfast. Everything we had was delicious, everything bagel/sandwich, toasted marshmallow latte, Benjamin Tea, berry banana bowl. Staff were attentive and friendly. A lovely place to sit for a meal, not loud. Us oldsters will be back when we are in the area for my frequent doctor appointments."
"This place is such a cute spot for a coffee or even a nice adult beverage! Can it get better than that?! The decor give coffee shop vibes and the back patio is super chill for a nice date or even working on some homework while you munch on those tastey donuts! I have gotten the house coffee, which had free refills! What a treat! As well as hot tea. That came in a very adorable tea pot. I have also gotten the cold hibiscus blueberry tea. That was okay, I rather get the hot beverages anyway. Great place to go with a group of friends or just alone. Definitely recommend!"
"It's a super cute space, but they've been slowly becoming less welcoming to students. They used to be such a good spot for my friends and me to study for..."
