Love the vibe. Waft in the witchy aroma. A spicy mixture of dark roast with a hint of menses and B.O.

I loved this little cafe, it reminded me of the places I miss from the 1990s in Austin, in a good way. A good selection of random books, and LGBT+ positive vibes.

Great coffee and seems like a nice enough place for college kids to hang out and be weird, but the performative masking was absurd. Wear a mask when you order and are walking around, but when you sit down you can take it off. That's specific scenario has already been studied, especially in a place like that with no commercial high-grade ventilation, and if anyone is sick you WILL be exposed to it anywhere in the room, so it does nothing to protect you. Get vaccinated and if you are sick or suspect you are, STAY HOME.

I came in right when they opened. the person that opened was very friendly and welcoming! I got Persephone which delicious and the flavors weren't overpowering the coffee. Would definitely go again!

Queer friendly. Great coffee, socially responsible, all the good vibes. This has been my go to coffee haunt for years.

I love that this place exists, and I wish more coffee shops followed their lead in creating a truly supportive community space. We got to see their pay it forward program in action, which was a lovely ebb and flow of people donating to the fund and folks using it as needed. Their zine library is wonderful and their skull latte art is so fun. I had the Persephone latte and it was great! Oh, also: I really appreciate their Covid safety policy of requiring masks if you’re getting coffee to go and proof of vaccination for having your coffee there. It further demonstrates their commitment to caring for their community. Anyone who has an issue with it should do some soul searching on why protecting other people is so offensive to you.

Sadly, there's a vaccination requirement for this shop but hey, I get it, but I'm kinda upset because my grandmother called this place because she was planning to take me and a friend, but the woman on the phone was rude to her. I hope that this is a temporary issue and can be fixed.

First off let me say the coffee was FANTASTIC and creative.....which honestly makes the rest of it a shame. I'm not from Washington, but I am from a state with similar rates of homeless/mental health challenges in large cities so I understand. When I walked up there was a lady who I'm quite sure was homeless and had some form of mental illness struggle who was waving at the windows and messing with the doors, which was a little concerning and off putting. I went in anyway because I understand it's not the businesses issue and also, what are they do to? It's a much bigger issue, especially if they're outside the door. However. I went in and stood reading the menu for a few minutes before I was acknowledged (we're both short so I think we didn't see each other) and was told I had to put on a mask.....ok, she's the only one I see with one on but whatevs....nbd. Order my coffee, the chip had some "de-fund the police propaganda on it which I don't agree with (but pro-anarchy seems to be a thing based on some of the pamphlet things I saw in there), and after in comes someone who then orders his coffee and it isn't until he starts loudly having a "conversation" that is a complete word salad that I look closer and realize that he......likely knows the woman out front. Who then came inside as I'm sitting and is looking for her bag. Well, I happened to have a shopping bag with me so you can imagine my concern especially as she started walking directly toward me. Thankfully the barista distracted her, which I was glad for, but then by the time I'm getting my coffee the guy who ordered after me is talking to himself again and belching and the woman is bouncing around between inside and outside ranting and.....yeah....I didn't really feel comfortable anymore, even more so as I realized the man from the coffee shop proceeded to follow me almost all the way back to my car which was parked near the bus station several several blocks away. I guess what gets me is that this behavior

Political stance should have nothing to do with your service whether or not I agree or disagree with it you don't need to make it your your whole personality. Plus the coffee was not impressive. I'm all for goth stuff but they missed the mark.

Totally unique place. Inclusive and cozy (a little crampt when busy), with an awesome aesthetic. Wonderful for conversation or reading, provided you can find a seat. The drinks are okay.

Was so excite to have found a goth coffee shop but when we were about to buy our coffee and saw what was on the register we decided they were not getting pur business and when we told the cashier we changed pur minds and we leaving she had the attitude of "well what do you expect" I get coffee to relax not be bombarded with politics

Always the most variety in the coffee anywhere. I don't always like what I get but that can be the fun of it for me because there are so many options. I love the surprise and just give guidelines for what I'm looking for that day

Delicious coffee and a very inclusive giving place where everyone is welcome. They have teas as well with many cool flavors like lavender and such. I love that they have a program, where people who cannot afford a drink or food can come and have something of their choice for free. It’s funds put forward by other patrons.

This is a must visit for anyone who likes things a little spooky. Staff was helpful in picking the perfect specialty drink and the drinks tasted wonderful. The interior is interesting with a bunch of art and a lot of books to look at. There's a wall of local events/resources in the front which can be useful for locals.
