What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Been going here for about 4 years and the overall vibe has been perfect from the start. The staff and locals are always friendly and great to talk to. It's also nice to just come in, put on some headphones, and work or play games on your laptop/tablet/phone. This is my local coffee place and even though I don't come in everyday, the staff still recognize me and my regular (boring) coffee and food order."

I wish more places were like this — where hospitality feels effortless and sincere."

We waited for about 20 minutes and checked a few times, but it was taking too long, so we ended up leaving. The staff did offer a refund, but we didn’t take it. I think they just need to pay a little more attention to customers who have been waiting. Hopefully, they can improve, because the place seems nice otherwise."
"The staff was really friendly, the service was good, the food (bagel breakfast sandwich) was tasty, and the coffee was delicious. Enjoyed our first time here by relaxing outside with our coffee. Will return for sure!"
