First-time visitor, and I have to say this place has some room for improvement. Upon first walking in, the place is much smaller than their online marketing makes it seem. Secondly, our coffees came out in paper/plastic cups even though we were dining in. Paper cups usually have PFAS and are environmentally wasteful, so I prefer cafes with real mugs if I am lingering for a while. Also, they were completely out of all food except one pastry and this was well before noon. Additionally, power outlets were scant and were only located near the bar. The bar was already small, and they had piled up their merch so it wasn't very inviting or spacious if you needed to stay connected to power for working on your laptop if needed.

Read moreClear light is the coffee spot! We were frequent visitors of the original West Ave store on the weekends and loved everything about it.

Did I mention they serve wine by the bottle and glass? Appropriately priced too.
Ambience is chill, good music and comfortable seating. If I could rate this place a 6 out...
