I highly recommend this place! I went for a quick snack and latte and was so pleased with the experience!
The girl at the register was so nice! She recommended all kinds of pastries and we ended up getting a lot!
We sampled them each and they all tasted amazing! You can see the bakery behind the coffee area so you know they make these pastries fresh and it really shows! The almond croissant was one of the best croissants I've ever had!
The latte was so adorable! They top it off and let you put a lid on yourself!
They also had a little jam area and a very small seating area with plants all over!
This is the cutest little spot and they give you a very personal experience!
New favorite spot! We will definitely be back!

In town from NYC and this is the cutest coffee shop we’ve found in the area. Super friendly owners with lots of seating inside and out. Can’t normally do caffeine cause of anxiety but their decaf was FIRE. Got an iced oat milk latte with lavender syrup and a chocolate croissant. 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent food and granola. Doors open on a 50 degree day, so dress warm. Loud music vibe.

I had a tasty little maple walnut scone with a hot chocolate almond milk drink. The vibe was super cute, the staff was really nice, and food/drink was tasty! Perfect for a little coffee date!

Very cute location. Go there before 9 am. After 9 is crowded. The coffee i tried was raspberry chocolate with espresso, best coffee ever. Outdoor’s super cute.
Their card reader doesnt work, so either venmo or cash.

A good selection of pastries both savory and sweet, and completely customizable beverages. The food menu is not available currently and seating is outside, but they're located next to a very nice little courtyard. Staff is friendly and for a light breakfast this can't be beat.

Great coffee. The rich roasted taste! Fantastic options. The delivery is slow but it’s worth it

Great cappuccinos and lattes, for sure would recommend.
Update: I've gone to this place a few times since I've moved to the area and this place has consistently impressed with it's baked goods. Always a different variety and all delicious.

If I could, I would give 0 stars. The girl who works here is ALWAYS dismissive and rude. I do enjoy their vegan desserts though, which probably keeps me coming back and getting treated like cr@p. With that being said, they’re always closed and Im pretty sure they've been closed for the last two weeks.
*side note. I am truly sorry you are having health problems, but my review was only based on my past experiences coming in. This is not to tear you down, but in hopes that you can review with your staff some light customer service etiquette. The woman working WAS incredibly rude to me, and also ignored me for 15 minutes while she talked to her friend. You were not busy. I guess she decided that day I was not worth her time, who knows? I have never been treated like this anywhere before, and my family and I eat out a lot. It’s a shame, because your pastries and coffee really are delicious, and your shop is warm and cute.
