What People Are Saying
from Google"Really fun place for coffee and pastries with sandwiches. Lots of funny plaques and bags for sale. A big bunch of gluten-free and vegan options. Friendly and helpful staff and lots of comfy places to sit."
"I absolutely love this place. Me and my husband hit up this spot couple days ago and we're still thinking about it. May be a Sunday morning spot for us. The atmosphere is phenomenal and customer service is great. Everything we ate was fresh and beautiful. Made my foodie of a husband excited. The place was clean and while it had upbeat music, it wasn't overly loud. In fact it was quite cozy. Definitely will be back to try more and I know my husband will be tagging along as he raved about the basic black coffee he had all day."
"Outdoor seating which I love. Not too many places have that. The place is clean. Staff is wonderful, helpful & hospitable. I would highly recommend & WILL be bringing all my friends here! We had the breakfast plate (2 eggs w/ home fries (actual fries 😁) bacon (very thin sliced) with rye toast & an everything bagel (better than bagel man) w/egg whites & turkey sausage. Both were very good. The only thing I could say is the everything seasoning was a little light, could have used more but overall Molto gustoso!!!"
"I ordered a cortado, to get a baseline on their coffee. I enjoyed it, though their espresso leans fruity. Not sure if the cashier was having an off day/was sick, but felt she was a bit short and acted bothered when I asked questions. The atmosphere is where this coffee shop lacks. It feels cold and industrial, with coolers in the middle of the dining room that make it feel more like a gas station than a cozy coffee shop. Stacks of cardboard boxes in plain sight. Meh. Likely wouldn't return based on atmosphere alone, though the coffee was solid."
"Nice cafe that supports local businesses and artists. They have a variety of drinks and foods to choose from. I ordered the drink of the month, the honeysuckle latte. It could have used more coffee taste or less sugar, but I still enjoyed it! I would come here again and recommend it to anyone. They have indoor and outdoor seating and non-coffee drink options."
