What People Are Saying
from Google"I love this little cafe! I teach remotely and am not in MHK often, but when I'm here, I'm thankful to have this cafe. I pop in for afternoon snacks--including the delicious & well-priced fruit cup (thanks for having fresh fruit and avoiding the bland melons), cheese sticks, and chips. There are also a lot of quick snacks that I can purchase for my students when I want to surprise them! The space is also great for studying & convo."
"Never again. I didn't mind the wait, line moves fast. You can trust you will get to class on time. The $5+ coffee may have been the worst I've ever had. I ordered Mint... I received mediocre in a cup with a leaky lid. No mint to be found Radina's is my safe bet."
"Charging for a cup of ice. Cool stuff. No thanks."
"Not really at the corner of anything, but that's OK."
