Not impressed. I didn’t like the cold brew - very little taste. Overpriced, especially for how small of a cup you get and didn’t even get a lid. I love supporting local when I can, but this was poor quality all around.

I met some friends here for a team meeting. It's a great space, well-lit and comfortable. I enjoyed the coffee and the pain au chocolat.

Very overpriced coffee. Very sad, depressing decor and chairs. Compared to how it used to look with old management.

Lots of places make their coffee so hot it take an hour to be able to drink it. Here if you aren't going to drink it immediately ask them to make it extra hot or it will be cold by the time you get where you are going (even upstair the same building!)

Extremely overpriced like almost $10 for a latte if you add a different milk and a dash of vanilla. No food like salty tart used to have and not the best bakery option. The ambience is not inviting whatsoever. The quality of coffee is definitely great and top-notch though!

Good coffee, bright and sunny in the morning, good places. It’s right across the street from the stadium and farmer’s market in lower-town. Had a cortado and it was tasty. Just having a cortado on the menu is often a good sign the shop know what it is doing. Plenty of parking at the farmers market and on the street.

YOU MUST TRY THE ALMOND CROISSANT! Cold brew has a distinct flavor. I can't wait to try their unique summer drinks. The atmosphere is so chill.

I absolutely love this place. Def recommend the pourover to those who drink it black :) Atmosphere is welcoming. Barista was friendly & helpful. Looking forward to my next visit.

It has a good coffee. But something doesn't let me give it 5 stars. Might be the atmosphere that bothered me. I didn't have a feeling that I want to stay there longer and enjoy my beverage. Cafe itself is big, but doesn't have its own style.

Love the coffee and the atmosphere. I'm so shocked to see such a low review number as this place truly has high quality coffee. I've been coming here off and on for the past 3 years as it's not my local/close coffee shop but go out of my way from time to time as I get cravings for it. Big fan of the windows and plants.

Really lovely space, corner of an historical building near the farmers market, very comfortable yet also open and spacious with gallery-quality walls for art displays . Good Cortado and real croissants, and tons of electrical outlets for other types of recharge. I took a photo of the vintage steel clad exterior staircase…history and modern life. I will definitely return.

I have tried to come at around 7:30 am for several Saturday’s and they have not been open, despite it saying they open at 7 am. I have also seen several other people try the door at the same time, indicating all of us believe they open at 7 am. I then waited till after 8 am to call to see if they were open at that time and no one answered the phone. It is unfortunate because I really like this place.. when they are open.

I needed somewhere to sit and wait for my train and it was a lovely place to sit and watch the sunrise with hot chai tea! I even got in their social media!

Love the staff, the coffee is good, as are the baked goods, if just a touch on the spendy side.

Pastry was good. Coffee was not. I ordered a small plain latte and it was very bitter. The small cup was barely 3/4 full. More like a cortado...
