Great coffee and great place to chill!

I can honestly say that I've never been to a more wholesome coffee shop before. I thought paying what you want to pay was out right crazy but seeing how lovely the place is, you cant help but to pay $10 easily. The service is fantastic. How many places can you think of where the barista brings you water on his own just because you've been there for more than 10 mins? I always like to pay close attention to small details and by far, this is the best coffee shop I've ever been. The only con about this shop is not knowing about it sooner.

Cute little place where you can pick your own price for your coffee!
Open space, plenty of sunlight, and just a nice place of ambiance.
The coffee is super good, hot a latte with lavender.

I love everything about this place. It has a peaceful and good atmosphere. I like the simple and minimalistic decor. The people who work there are so nice and clearly love what they do. I went there one day and found out on my phone that it happened to be National Coffee Day. I told the barista and he responded "oh really? Well I am so glad that I'm working today!" I usually sit at the bar seating so I've talked to 3 of the baristas and they are all so friendly and fun to talk to. I could also tell that this place is serious about their coffee based on the beans they use and sell, they are currently using King State. Something that really sets this coffee shop apart is their seasonal menu. They mix ingredients with coffee I have never seen done before and tastes really good! I am a huge fan of this place, and I do not mind driving from Columbus to go here! :)

This place is literally magical. I’ve never had an experience like it! I was just dumbfounded at the care and attention they show their customers. The atmosphere is so beautiful and relaxed and the barista was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Not to mention the coffee was superb! Just go here, you won’t be disappointed!

Open air environment with genuine staff and pretty good coffee. Main attraction is certainly the atmosphere, in my opinion. We just came in played some cards and enjoyed a little people watching. Free WiFi and no one rushing you out the door if you're looking for a place to start l study

one of the best cafes in opelika 🤍

Outrageously nice staff. This place is run very relaxed and laid back. It’s a donation based shop where you pay what you feel your experience has been, and what the coffee is worth. I love that the menu changes seasonally and there are so many options that are a bit “out there”. Definitely make this a stop if you’re in town!

Simple perfection. This shop LOVES coffee and Thier customers. I feel like heaven sent this amazing little coffee joint to Opelika with decadent arrangements of flavors, style and truly the most unique combinations I have ever had in the Southern States. Love this atmosphere, employee engagement and we'll EVERYTHING!! 😍 Thanks for being awesome!!

The shop has great atmosphere and you set your own price. The coffee they used tasted fine and the service I experienced was really nice. When I visited the shop was out of some ingredients and the espresso drinks follow the weaker syrup flavors.
