Not a bad place. Decent prices, however the espresso (doppio) had coffee grounds in it. The siphon coffee had decent flavor for a dark roast. It would be nice if they didn't shy away from lighter roasts. I understand it's easier to brew dark roasts but light roasts have such great flavor profiles with different notes that could compliment some of their food dishes.
Don't see where I said I was confused.
Super cute, cozy, creative, and modern cafe. The drinks were super good, and the food was really fresh. I loved looking at the local art, and they even have a little gaming system that you can try and beat everyone else’s high score in. This super awesome horse mural was also nearby.
Tasty treats with a unique flair. A great place to start your day downtown. Serving both coffee concoctions and some meals this place will give you the feels. The staff is fun and engaging. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.
I love the coffee the food and the workers are so sweet and fun. All the coffee drinks are amazing and the food is awesome and the quality and quantity of the food is worth the cost. If you haven't tried it yet then you have no idea what you are missing out on!!!
Third day in a row and very happy with the service and friendly atmosphere. They make you feel very welcome. Also the food art is fun and abstract. They worked with my new found allergy as well and I had a matcha and oat milk since I can’t have cow. Definitely recommend trying them out, they also have a couple other shops near by for a perfect date setup, a little restaurant, and ice cream shop is in the same shop! First time I got a Carmel iceberg and asked for it to be blended twice and it came out super smooth, second one tasted good as well which was matcha over ice with oat milk to accommodate my new allergy. Look forward to them being a staple in the community :) boyfriend thinks so too lol
It's definitely a cool environment. But you can see in my photo of the menu that I also accidentally captured an employee with no mask on at all. He was also going up to tables and asking how they were doing without it. I mention covid practices in many of my posts so I'm for sure way more sensitive to it than I think many people are. This is because I am myself recovered from covid. If you are worried about safe practices I would and will go somewhere else. I have to say though that the outdoor seating is fun and there was live music on Saturday. I sat there for a while enjoying my time.
I went there this morning for a coffee and bagel with cream cheese. I ordered my coffee and then tried to order my bagel, the girl behind the counter said, “we aren’t serving food today, I’m the only one working.” I mean she was sitting down when I walked in, and I was the only customer. She was not busy at all. I guess I will not be going there anymore, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Just bad service all around.
Great local coffee shop! Definitely recommend. I got the Girlmore Girl. It wasnt very sweet but they nicely added some extra syrup for me.
