And absolutely joy and delight. I was impressed by the staff, the atmosphere and of course the drinks. Just amazing and I will be back 3/27/23 Still superior espresso, new faces and still great customer service and friendly courteous staff 5/29/23::: Still a great hangout for an afternoon pick me up. Great Espresso. The Green Tea Spritzer is on the sweeter side but still extremely delicious
I worked for this place for 2 weeks. BATHROOMS. In that time I took it upon myself to improve cleanliness and sanitation. The bathrooms were horribly neglected. I had to use acidic cleaner to remove bacteria infested deposits. Mid shift I would walk in and trash, and once actual blood was on floor as well as the state of the toilets were appalling. Once having to plunge s backed up toilet. No cleaning by owner was being implemented and monitored. The employees said there was just no system in place.

This place is so cute! Pros: 1. Great atmosphere. A good spot to work from. Lots of outlets for your computer and the music isn’t too loud. 2. Coffee is great. Just skip all the options and get the white chocolate latte. They also have a coffee flight here which is awesome. Cons: 1. There aren’t too many food options. I wanted a bagel with butter and they did not have butter. Then I asked for peanut butter on it and they said they can’t take peanut butter from their other menu options. 2. You cannot make your own coffee flight 3. Parking is always full and you will typically have to walk. I didn’t mind this part as I like getting the exercise.
I live just down the street, so I stop in almost every morning for coffee. The coffee drinks are fun and delicious, but the real thing that keeps me coming back is the staff. Everyone who works here is so friendly and warm. Kirsten is incredible and always works hard on making sure everyone feels welcome while being a master barista at the same time! Best place around for coffee, highly recommended!
Cute local coffee shop. Met owner who was very nice. Dog friendly too!
Their cold brew is so good
My mom was visiting from out of town and saw the Latte Flights online. She was excited to try them so I was a good daughter and took her to get her flavored coffee. Eric was manning the front counter and he was awesome. Great customer service. We got the March St. Patrick's Day flavors. We loved most of them. Grasshopper was not our favorite but we know the piont of flights is to find the one you love. My favorite was lucky charm and my mom's was pot o gold. Definitely will be back.
I actually love the blend but this was the first unsatisfactory visit that I've had
Too many great options to choose from was my only complaint. JK! Great spot for coffee or other beverages!
Coffee is good but the place is filthy because of all the dogs. I get it if you want to be dog friendly, but then someone needs to clean more often.
Big and spacious. I went in on a busy Saturday morning and the service was Good and fast. Had a bagel and chai tea and both were good.
Fairly large cafe with good coffee, and good service. Pros: 1) Lots of seating capacity (probably close to 75). 2) VERY lively. I've been here a few times, and the place is always at least 1/2 filled with lots of conversations going on. It also seems that 75% of the occupants are women - for what that's worth. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 3) There's a variety of seating, from minimalist counter stools to metal chairs to thinly upholstered chairs and two couches. There are also 3- 4 metal lawnchairs at the back door that are shaded in the afternoon, and sheltered from the busy street. 4) I think music plays, but is so quiet compared to the convos that I couldn't hear it. 5) All the usual suspects when comes to coffee drinks (including a 32 oz. size for about $5 - 7.25) plus a number of seasonal coffee mixes, teas, hot chocolate, smoothies etc. 6) They also serve a limited number of alcoholic drinks (see the menus) and "flights" of coffees and mixed drinks. VERY UNUSUAL! 7) Their internet is reasonably fast 45 Mbps/11 Mbps. Cons: 1) The sociable nature of this cafe is great unless you want to Skype or work in relative quiet. Just sayin'. 2) An adequate selection of pastries and a few breakfast sandwiches, but not much else. 3) Stucco and brick walls. Pergola flooring. Minimal artwork. A bit stark. 4) Most of the chairs would become uncomfortable after an hour or so. 5) There are electrical outlets available to only about 1/2 of the seating. Overall, I would rate it as a very popular cafe that is well suited to brief social meets, but not the best for those who need to do some work or are looking for a quiet respite.
Nice, bright and clean. Very comfortable atmosphere. Lots of great choices. Loved being able to have a flight of coffees to try new ones.
The food is good, I usually get the pastries and they're almost always on point. I had the red velvet cookie it was a bit dry but I don't know if it was because it wasn't a fresh cookie or they're usually like that. Service is A1 the people there are so friendly and inviting. The atmosphere is quiet with music playing on low in the background. Good place to meet up with someone and have a little coffee date.
I ordered a chai latte and specifically asked them for less water, they gave me all milk. Literally I’m drinking warm Milk to work. DONT ORDER A LATTE!
Cool vibe! Great meeting place and place to do a bit of work. Great drinks and snacks as well!!
Solid co-working space and Cafe. Only issue I have is it gets quite loud. A lot of people use it as a meet up spot so background noise is intense. That's why I can't give it 5 stars because I was there to do a bit of work. Anything else I'd definitely recommend this place.
I enjoy this spot and trying out their season beverages. My only complaint is the parking. It’s just a small lot so not sure what can even be done but there’s been a few occasions I have to just drive away because I can’t park, it’s a bummer
The baristas were so nice! They had my coffee ready before I finished checking out. Definitely would recommend and will be back!
