Bad experience! Multiple special instructions and they still got my drink wrong. They admitted that it was their fault but no refund and no help in getting refund from UberEats.

I love this place. The coffee they hand craft for you is simply amazing. Pick up a gift card while you're there and share with a friend.

A Hidden Gem! I can’t get enough of the dirty chai latte. Literally the best latte I’ve ever had! Highly recommend!

Went in this Morning with the family. The guy working was super awesome and helpful. The Coffee is some of the best I've had anywhere, also ate the breakfast sandwich which was great as well.
The place was clean and had a super cool vibe, even for kids, families, and dogs!

This place is phenomenal. They have given us plenty of play time inside and out, and produced several music videos of some covers and original songs. They are always ready to help and allow us time to even sit in on open mic nights to try out some of our new material. The crowd is awesome, the new decor is upbeat and current, and their options are endless. Keep it going !!

The sound cafe is an absolute vibe. Great people, excellent coffee, and plenty of space to chill. I've gotten a lot of work done here from my laptop, so if you're looking for that spot to relax or to focus on work - look no further. This is the place. A FWB staple!

Enlightened Studios is such a blessing to the community! I was really happy when this place opened and have enjoyed it ever since. The vibe is so welcoming, cozy and fun. It's one of the only places in town for a long distance, that provide such a great space for creative minds to gather. They are so supportive of the artistic community and to add to the cool points of this place, I have heard more talented musicians perform here than I have anywhere else. 5 stars doesn't do it justice in my opinion. I am grateful Enlightened Studios came to my home town and I hope it never leaves! This place is really special and has so much to offer all walks of life. (They also have really yummy food and drink options!!! Plus, super fun events! 😍)

Update, place is still wack.
Lol, the guy behind the bar doesn’t even have the courtesy to listen to ur order and asks 4 time what was it again. Too busy chatting up other people. Do urself a fave and go to the cafe next door it’s fresh and the staff is nice. I think he’s the manager.

I have been a loyal customer of this establishment for years now. The owner has always been very open to new ideas and the variety of events that occur here are rare and meaningful. I'm so glad I found a place that brings peace to the community thru the art of expression in all forms. They also have wine so I just go there to unwind and relax. On certain nights they offer open mics too for local artists which is the breeding ground of some great talent in this area. GO!!!
