If you are looking for a place to work, while in WFH land: Pros: - Fast Wifi - $5 bottomless coffee - Food available for lunch - Ample seating - Many outlets Cons: - Required to leave the door open, so on a hot day wear shorts Happy to support local business and a great little cafe

Great place to spend your time, amazing service, and the food and drinks where on point. I have tried most of the drinks and this is the spot. The best part is that it doesn’t matter if you want to have a nice conversation or you need a place to work from if you’re doing home office. It was nice and cozy, and at the same time it made me feel at home.

Cute and cozy coffee shop. Almost seemed small, but there was ample seating. The lavender matcha latte with a cookie on side really hit the spot on a chilly Sunday. Would 100% go back!

Simple review- they have the best matcha here. I particularly love their strawberry matcha with Oat Milk. Find me a better one. Spoiler Alert.. You can’t lol. Cheers

Super cute shop, they have a nice selection of coffee and it has the perfect atmosphere to study/relax if that’s your thing! Loving the creme burlee latte

Earl grey bubble tea was solid, the chocolate croissant was great, the hopscotch was decent and the red velvet doughnut was amazing

Neighborhood coffee shop and cafe featuring some standard drink options and a good variety of pastries, bagel sandwiches, and Asian options like bahn mi & steamed buns. Decor was cozy and there are alot of two tops available for couples or working remotely. The food and drinks we got were pretty good. Was nice to see the in house "cups" just being mason jars with metal straws as well. Definitely a place worth stopping in

Their mango avocado salad is absolutely delightful! So refreshing with large chunks of avocados and mangos. The dressing was the perfect amount so it's not smuthering. I would totally order it again. It's so hard to find a fresh, healthy, good quality salad like this these days.

Our neighborhood is lucky to have this spot! The atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming, the food is good, and they have a great Vietnamese Iced Coffee.
