Had high hopes for this place because the vibes and atmosphere were right up our alley. Sadly, we were disappointed with both the service and the food & coffee. Specialty coffees were bland and not hot at all. The food sounded great, but wasn’t very good. Our group had a muffin, pecan roll, bagel, and grilled cheese, but none of these were necessarily “good”. So sad. They had so much potential and did a great job with decor, merch, energy, and atmosphere. Everything else was a let down.

Fun vibe and clean environment. Good food and drinks. Went to see a friend perform at open mic. Some good talent. Place is a little small but fun to go and listen to the local talent. Very diverse music and poetry.

Super awesome place! The vibe of this little shop is amazing, very positive energy and very accepting! If you're looking for a cute joint for live music and amazing tea and coffee, definitely go here!

This place has some of the BEST lattes and breakfast in town. We always like to try a new place every time, but we came here our second day of vacation and came back every day the rest of the time we were in town. Ultimate breakfast sandwich and peach cobbler latte were FANTASTIC.

The food took an hour and a half to arrive. When it arrived it contained two coffees with two breakfast to go boxes all packaged in one bag...it was bagged the 2 Togo boxes first with the two coffee cups on top of it when we received it coffee was all in are food soaked with coffee when we called and explained the situation they said they are not responsible for the food or drinks ....I explained they sent it out the door incorrectly packaged.We are now without food and its not there problem? I don't typically leave reviews so this should tell you how mad and disappointed they left us. We will never return and will spread the word that your business don't care about your food as long as you get paid.His response backs up exactly what I said. The delivery woman explained that she never asked for that. That's how your employees typically bag to go orders. I spoke with your employee. But that's OK with the way the economy has been. Small businesses only thrive by providing good customer service. Goodluck to you sir.
