Great coffee and excellent ambience for studying or working.
The staff always greet us warmly, the perfect balance of leaving you alone and making you feel welcome. Great place to work remotely. Great place to get a cup of coffee.
Love this local spot! Great coffee, quiet shop to work, and quick service.
Decent coffee but they literally never have food beyond pastries. I've been here morning and afternoon and they have never had the other stuff on their menus like tacos or empanadas, they're always out. Either someone is coming in and buying these in bulk before noon or they don't actually have them.
Also, the wifi is pretty spotty.
Great to work from home in. Tons of space, outlets and password protected wifi. Good coffee too!
10/10 iced matcha! Lovely staff. They also have a cool record collection and art by local artists. Also great nooks if you need to get some work done.
Coffee is tasty, selection is good. Some complaints from me (but maybe it’s your thing): room temperature runs cold and it’s drafty by the windows, service is not hostile but also not warm, and the EDM bouncing out of the speakers overhead is too many beats per minute.
Tables are full of folks on their laptops and tablets, often with headphones on. Are they keeping the place in business?
I want this place to stay as it’s great to have a locally owned coffee shop in the neighborhood. Sadly, it doesn’t have a friendly feel that encourages me to frequently return. I’ve visited a few times to get a Do-Rite donut and drip coffee, but find myself merely tolerating the cold room and equally chilly demeanor.
