What People Are Saying
from Google"This coffee shop was a great stop in San Marcos. It has an amazing vibe, and their lavender white mocha was the best coffee I’ve had in town. Plus, they’re pet-friendly!"
"There is an outside seating area with picnic tables too. There is a small stage for live music. They have some pastries and tacos available for breakfast."
"Our weekly spot for great healthy food, a cup of coffee or a delicious house special drink. Owner and staff have made a modern day “Cheers” vibe for locals, and a perfect stop over for families and students. And a great music venture outside… our fave is Monday nights for open mic night."
"Nice friendly service inside, but don’t bother going in the evenings for a coffee or any else not music related. They wanted to levy a 5$ tax just for walking in for a coffee just because there was a band outside that you couldn’t really hear inside anyway. I had a decent interaction with staff once before so we wanted to support them and got coffee to go. Never again."
"I've been coming here for ages, and it's even better since it reopened post-Covid. Staff is amazing and friendly, food is delicious and they have options for everyone (GF bread, vegan food, meats, etc.). Favorites of mine are the build your own tacos and the hummus plate. Everything is loaded up with fresh ingredients. It's a local live music venue as well, fun and sometimes family-friendly depending on the band. There's a mostly fenced-in area with lots of picnic seating and chalk is available too for kids. The maté they make is so clean-tasting. All the coffee I've had here, from drip to fancy lattes, have been the best in town. They also have a great workspace/indoor seating area that's generally quiet and a nice vibe with a selection of well-spaced tables. In the winter it does get a bit chilly if you're in the back room, so bring a sweater! It's cozy, and they feature local artists each quarter. Come support a San Marcos staple."
