We love this place. It's our new go-to spot for delicious coffee and pastries. The almond croissant is amazing! Inside is nice and cozy but sitting outside is even better. Whether we just grab and go, or sit outside, we love the place.

Not sure I’d go back to be honest. The girl who took my order seemed annoyed that I didn’t know what I wanted right away. It was my first time there. Also very expensive. Cost us $20 for 2 drinks and a cookie that was flavorless. My coffee was ok. I ordered 2 of the same drinks and they both tasted different. Not the best but not the worst. summer moon is better in my opinion.

Nice little coffee & pastry shop. I had a Cinnamon iced latte and some kind of blueberry-filled pastry (can't remember what it was called) and they were both pretty good.

I absolutely loved this adorable coffee shop! The valentine's theme is so cute. I got an iced red velvet latte and it was delicious and so cute too. I would recommend!

These reviews about this place are obviously friends of buisnesd. We decided to try and support some local small business and see if there was a better cup of coffee somewhere. I went into the new location that had one person standing in front of me who immediately went and sat down. Myself and my companion stood at the counter looking at the barista who just stared blankly past us for about 5 or 6 minutes before she finally asked us if we needed any help As a line started to form. We Both ordered a latte and proceeded to stand there watching them make drink after drink that wasnt for us. Then both of our drinks tasted like there was no espresso. There was. 2 shots. I was just that bad.

This place was right up my alley and has been on my bucketlist for a while. They have seasonal specialty drinks that look amazing! On this, my first trip, I had a honeybee latte which is one if my go to drinks anywhere, and it was delicious, I want to get a specialty drink though in the future, truly photo worthy, and the perfect treat! I also had an apple pie danish, and it was to die for! I'll be trying one of their sandwiches next time, all of which looked appatizing to me! Ill have to work my way through the list lol! The atmosphere here was also warm and inviting a huge plus in my book! Went on a breakfast fate this time, but I could see this being versatile for a girls day, kids day, even a me day! 10 out of 10 I'll be going back!

I would definitely come back. Came from the Facebook ad of their holiday drinks. And I wasn’t disappointed. I do say if you like sweet coffee ask for sweetener

Great little place to chill and have a cup of coffee. Didn't eat anything, so I can't say anything about that, but definitely coming back. Service is great as well

Bring a blanket. Very cold inside in the winter. They hold the door open because it gets too hot behind the bar. This unfortunately makes it unpleasant to come and sit and have a cup of coffee. =\

First time there. Guy the peppermint cold brew. Better than that Seattle joint
