My coffee was perfect, it was caramel latte. I also got a macaroon. The atmosphere is lovely here, music playing but not too loud, people were able to have a conversation. The service was excellent and attentive, but also careful prepared orders. The art on the wall is a lot of fun.

Great coffee place. All their food and drinks come always with something extra. See the amazing pickles that comes with the avocado toast.

Came in to do a some work for an hour, seemed welcoming for people to lounge around. I got a small coffee and breakfast sandwich, which were both tastey. Coffee tasted fresh and I always appreciate when cafes have glass cups/mugs for those who choose to have it there.

This is a great cafe. It has many of the attributes that I really like: a small, intimate atmosphere, good location, some outside seating, and good food & drinks. The coffee is not bad, but what I especially like is the fresh-squeezed juices available.

Pretty small shop, both in physical size and in food and drink offerings. Selection is limited, but what they do have is good stuff. If you get there in time to snag a spot in the loft at the back, it's a cozy spot to work.

The cafe is small and looks cozy and has 2 outside tables. However, the quality of their coffee is low — I ordered a cappuccino and couldn't drink it :(

Prices are not posted on board. Menu prices are not what he charges. He'll start making your coffee and then charge you a higher price and pull out a different menu with higher prices scribbled on it. Says menus are from 2012 and he doesn't have time to change them and says "it isn't a big deal" if you ask about it.
