Lovely place to drink coffee, study, or chat. Lots of church goers here but all are welcome. A good mix of students and non-students.

Really great management. Good coffee. Painting with people event is so much fun and such an amazing idea to the bring the community together. It’s a large space and has a nice ambiance.

Brian Stover

Nice. Cozy. Excellent coffee. Very friendly service. In a church basement. Small room. Lydia would approve (Breaking Bad character who wants a decent tea selection and Stevia).

Christopher Wells

Great coffee shop. Good place to relax, get work done, meet with friends. And the baristas are awesome, with the technical and artistic know how to create beautiful works of latte art.

This cozy cafe nestled in the basement of a church may be my new favorite spot. With delicious coffee incredibly sweet and friendly staff and a lot of board games to play it has just the environment I want for a Sunday afternoon coffee

I love studying at this place. It's not quiet but not too loud to work. Just right. Also love their drinks. Super out of the way which sucks, but I look for excuses to come here sometimes lol.

My daughter performed there and it was disappointing that people play board games and talk really loud while someone is trying to listen to live entertainment. It seems like the games would be fine when nothing else is going on, but some were just rude! Sorry to say the hot chocolate was like hot water.

I have been here twice now and really enjoyed it. I will say, dont expect to be able to get in and out fast as the service is a little slow here but if you're meeting someone for a cup or planning to stay and study, I would recommend this place

Good Cafe to work and meet people. Good coffee and tea too. They also seem dedicated to avoiding unnecessary plastic/packaging waste.

Brian Margosian

Great place to get a cup (or two or four) of delicious coffee. The staff is fantastic, and it was an awesome under-appreciated study spot while I was attending UofM. Highly recommended!
