Love this place! Indoor and outdoor seating, chill vibe and a wide selection of caffeinated beverages. Excellent matcha latte!

Nice to be back and enjoy the cozy atmosphere and friendly service! I see reports of people experiencing slow service, but we had no such problem during our early evening visit today.

Great coffee but $5 for a latte is a lot.

Parents’ weekend - very busy from the doors opened on Saturday morning - until close. We ordered : Latte, Maple Latte, albino squirrel, and Gibraltar. Espresso drinks are above average. Today only drawback was the wait. Lots of people sitting in the cafe doing work. I would definitely recommend this place.

They wouldn't even seat us since weren't college student. My money is just as green as their money. I also tip wait staff! I will be talking about this for a long time.

Good vegan options for drinks :) they usually have some vegan pastries/desserts too! I had a really good cinnamon sugar cookie the other day with my matcha latte!

Appallingly bad iced coffee. Like really bad. Probably the worst iced coffee I’ve ever had. On the plus side, cute environment and awesome pastries.

Very nice staff, good student filled atmosphere. Long line (15 wait to order) is normal during morning.

I will say, good things come to those who wait. i was a little conflicted originally about the line here, but what do you expect at 10 am on a college campus? But it is worth it. You can tell that the beans and other menu items are chosen with great care. Well worth it.

I couldn't agree more with the other review that says slow to the point of seeming spiteful. No line, 4 of them behind the counter, standing around laughing at each other's phones, no one making coffee. After a line started to form 2 of the 4 left and 1 of them decided to make my coffee.
