Not one to leave bad reviews but it’s frustrating to spend money on a coffee & sit outside for 15mins while they fill online orders that’s haven’t arrived yet, they also seemed indifferent to me when I asked about my order, I ended up asking them not to make it & leaving out my $6 bucks. My advice is to order ahead although I don’t know if this is good coffee I never got my drink!

I'm so bummed to even write this. This was my favorite spot in my neighborhood, hands down. I always loved the employees and enjoyed their attitude and work ethic compared to other coffee shops in the area. Unfortunately, some, what appear to be new hires are starting to convince me otherwise. My partner went in to buy 2 lattes and a gluten free muffin last weekend. The girl tried to charge him $27, he pressed the 15% tip button without thinking and then as it went through he realized the math couldn't have been right (The girl was very offended by him catching this for some reason). The girl then said she changed it to the correct "amount", without ever giving him a new total. Then he asked about the 15% tip he had given, since it wouldn't have been the correct amount. This was when the girl got increasingly more and more unprofessional and rude. She asked him, "if he wasn't comfortable with that tip." He was confused and was trying to explain that she wouldn't get 15% of 30 dollars, when the amount didn't cost that much and then gave in and said it didn't matter since she was making a scene. Then this same girl decided that she would make the last latte and bring it out to him to once again engage in a very strange way. She went on to say she had changed his tip amount to the correct amount (still never telling him a total and having a rude attitude like she was entitled to a large tip or something?). He told her he no longer felt comfortable and that he had asked her to stop messing with charges on his card and she did it anyways (all along, I repeat NEVER STATING A TOTAL EVEN WHEN HE ASKED). He tried to make a light hearted joke to her and her response was, "Well you dont' have to tip you know." Everything about it was just strange. That was when he put up his arms and said, I don't know what's going on here but I'm leaving.

I wasn't going to say anything about this, (I NEVER write reviews online) because we all have off days. I watched as this girl's demeanor became stranger and stranger from a distance. I thought, maybe she's having a bad day. But after going to get a latte this morning and running into the same sort of attitude (the exact opposite of the reason I like this coffee shop) I decided to say something. I hope that you all are hiring people who know how to live out your culture. Because honestly, I'm starting to think that I might have to find a new coffee shop to frequent. Not all of your employees are rude and entitled but turns out, enough of them are to lose my business.

Cute and friendly staff with good choices. I got the orange mocha but didn't get as much orange flavor ad I'd have liked, but everyone was great, it was cute, and had vegan pastries.

Amber Halse

Not a fan. My latte tasted bland and at $4 no less. Not much coffee flavor detected, plus it was served in a glass that was much too hot to hold, glad I didn't drop it on my way back to my table. My friend got drip coffee which has free refills, so that's nice, but she wasn't a fan of the flavor either and had to add creamer to make it palatable. The layout is so crowded. Once you squeeze your way to a table there is no way you're going to get back up until it's time to bump people on the way to leave.

I have been here a few times and the usually great cappuccino did not happen today. A bit too busy but it should not affect quality.
I would recommend asking and calling people's names - it's confusing when busy which of the drinks belong to whom. Grand Central does it, despite of being a chain, and it feels friendly and neighborly.

The coffee here is delicious and the staff are so attentive and nice. It feels like you are in someone's living room but there's plenty of space. And they give away their coffee grinds so you can pump up your garden.

Marissa Irish

Amazing coffee, kind staff, and good vibes. So very grateful y'all were open on Thanksgiving. Best Dirty Chai I've ever had - the perfect start to my day. Thank you so much! 😊

Joe Yandow

They do need to use a stronger blend it still tasted a bit weak after a double shot

Christian Grand

Delicious coffee, and a friendly local business owner. Currently, the street is blocked off and they're are Bunch of tables set up in the street that they share with the food carts nextdoor. Great space.

I stopped by here while visiting a nearby spice shop and their house coffee was exceptional! Not bitter or burnt at all! The service was friendly and fast and the place had a very relaxed and casual feel. Perfect for a Sunday morning!
