“ I like this place. I've been going to various coffee shops in my immediate vicinity, and so far, I like this place the best. The attendant at the counter greeted me. The atmosphere seemed mixed with people. There was a customer there with two dogs. Place seemed very lively. The latte was great, and I also had a blueberry muffin, which was delicious. Finally, the foam of the latte had a little heart design ”
“ Great roaster. Nailed the acidic balance of a light-medium on the Costa Rica. The Medusa blend is also cohesive and very pleasant which can prove difficult for a blend. Only negative would be the limited parking, and expect a wait on Saturdays. ”
“ This place had very good service and although it was busy they were still quick with orders. I ordered the bagel breakfast sandwich with bacon and cheese and a matcha iced latte with vanilla flavor and it was very good. The place is also cool and they are pet friendly. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area and want to grab some coffee or even breakfast. ”
