Very cool coffee shop with references to many stories that we all know and love. Order your drink and spot all of your favorite characters, movie monsters, books, or quotes. In addition to the regular menu, they also have a rotating menu of specialty drinks that are very very good.

It was a really cute place! They even have a walk up window outside where you can order instead of going inside. The interior is really nice though so I recommend going in at least once. I was looking for place to get lunch but they don't serve any food from the kitchen on Thursdays, that was my fault for not checking prior to going. They did have pre made cold sandwiches though. It's in a park too so you can go for a walk after stuffing yourself. I got the Blackwatch Matcha Latte which has cardamom and vanilla unlike the regular Matcha Latte. I personally loved it because I don't like sweet beverages. It wasn't sweet at all and it had a very strong matcha flavor. You can ask to get it sweetened though

The staff were so very nice, the vibe and atmosphere were perfect for a nice weather day in the park, and the food was really delicious. Really delicious. I believe it comes from Jack's Drafthouse and they make a mean sandwich! My husband had the pork sandwich which had many tasty a bits and I was wishing I got one also!

I come here a bunch, over the many times I’ve gotten drinks here for myself and friends usually you get a solid drink. The prices are a little higher, and in all the times I have been here the drinks always seem inconsistent. Depending on who is making them they are different, sometimes I don’t think the staff listens other times I think it’s they don’t understand and don’t care to attempt to get clarification. Examples: ordered the same seasonal drink it came with peanut butter pieces in it, one time I got the candy one time I didn’t. I get a blended latte sometime there, usually it’s right sometimes it comes out just ice. One time I ordered an iced coffee got it hot (this was the time I said something and asked it to be fixed and heard the girl whisper to the other girl, “she said hot”) feel like I can’t even correct them when they were wrong now so when my order is messed up just kind of hope it still tastes good. Today I ordered the blended latte today it was just with ice, didn’t say anything..the other drink that was ordered I got the other day (another seasonal) a cinnamon sweet cream cold brew, this time it didn’t have cinnamon and tasted like raspberry? Not sure what happened but I think if the inconsistency on what you’re ordering isn’t corrected this place won’t keep the regulars for sure

Very unique cafe. Walk in to be immersed in a different time period. Victorian meets vintage gaming meets dark academic. The outdoor patio is awesome. Surprisingly spacious. My Papa and I enjoyed playing connect four until close. We both got a cold brew, ( mine house decaf) added free cinnamon liquid cane sugar as well as agave n cacao powder, tasted soo good! Pastry shown is a cream cheese puff ( amazing ) , macaroon is lavender( 10/10)!!! Hope they add veggie options possibly a sandwich or soup... More tea options , matcha would be nice as well.

After a quick appointment I was open to suggestions and came across this.. quaint, intriguing coffee shop that captivated my full attention. And although I only had gotten, what was the best Mexican hot chocolate I've had so far in my life, it was a place I can't wait to go back to.. Not only bc the wait staff was so friendly and very informative. But bc I could feel this readable energy that would make dinning with a friend and catching up so rewarding. But also enjoying a freshly prepared sandwich &specialty drink on a relaxing solo date with myself and a book a must do!!! Their aren't many places that make me pause like this but I felt so at peace and in great company. I really wasn't ready to leave. I will be returning to have the full experience. Thank you again for the great memory.

This was an amazing little cafe in the park! Parking is to the side. Had so many great books and little oddities throughout the place. Super friendly staff and amazingly delicious drinks. I got a decaf mocha latte with oat milk...yummm! Will definitely visit whenever I'm passing through Scranton again!

Very expensive. We had lunch here, the sandwiches were just ok but I could not finish my smoothie, something off putting in the taste. Over $50 for 2 sandwiches, a smoothie and a coke.
