    Nice ambiance. Good place to do some work. Latte was decent. Had a good selection of pastries from nearby bakeries and a solid food menu. Staff was all really helpful and friendly. Would go back when in the area.

    Good coffee and bakery, espresso drinks are hit or miss, last time I got a cappuccino it was a cup of off tasting foam with some espresso at the bottom. They need a much better system for service. Maybe instead of everyone trying to do everything, one person should just man the register, so orders get paid for and served in order. Doesn't make sense to get my coffee and then have to wait to pay behind the person who ordered after me. 2019 update - changing it from 2 stars to 1, service has not improved at all.

    There isn't the place that I enjoy stopping more! They have the world's best chai tea. The people there are incredible. It just makes me so darn happy!

    Made my first stop..why, OH WHY, did I wait so long? Casual-cool place, friendly & efficient service and the breakfast sandwich on brioche was EXCEPTIONAL. I don't make the claim lightly as I know my breakfast sandwiches well..from fast-food to homemade and everything in-between. **2nd visit 10.5.18** got a bacon, egg n cheese sand to go, A is for awesome. Love that brioche roll. **back again and tried the biscuits n gravy, not bad..a grade of B. A good value.

    The chill and laid back atmosphere is great and the drinks feel much more homemade when they come in the mugs. My only complaint was that I had to wait a little while for the customer in front of me to finally pay because she had been standing off to the side chatting with an employee. Otherwise it's a nice quiet place to talk with friends or get work done.
