June 2024 Update: my favorite coffee shop in Hyde Park ☕️ they are vegan friendly with the choice of milk already included in the price, and have vegan pastries and breakfast foods 🤍 DW is awesome, his friendly and pleasant personality are very welcome in the mornings, and it’s so nice he remembers regulars. Makes a really delicious latte too!
Original 2018 review: I can’t beleive it took me so long to come here and it’s only 3 blocks away! 🏃🏾 This is my new favorite local coffee shop and they have a rewards club which definitely adds to the icing on the cake ⭐️ ! Came for coffee early Monday morning when my usually place was closed. I love that they have vegan and gluten free options as well as many tasty things to choose from 🍩 . The guy that took my order and made my latte was super nice and he made it PERFECT 👌🏾 I don’t like the taste of coffee but I have to drink it for the caffeine, so when I ordered my honey latte extra sweet it was delicious ☕️. I love the atmosphere, they had R&B music playing softly and a tv on mute 🎶 . I also saw they sell alcoholic drinks which makes me wonder if they do happy hours 🍸 this is an awesome spot that’s more than a coffee shop, definitely recommended! 💕

Read moreFood and drink are ok. The snack selection is poor, unfortunately. The coffee are interesting and varied. The "smoothies" aren't smoothies tho they are some powdered mix: skip it. Nice selection of teas, lattes are made just fine. One con: I was offered honey and lemon in my tea which is nice but the amount of honey was overpowering! Baristas could could easy on the sweeteners.
The layout is fine. Sadly there is a poorly maintained fountain thing on the wall that just makes the whole place look shabby - they could fix or remove that it's kind of gross. One speaker was blown out so the music, while good tracks, was annoyingly staticy and garbled. Could be repaired for better ambiance.
WiFi was painfully slow tho, so doing any work was frustrating. I don't think this is the spot for working. Reading, meeting people and relaxing are best activity for this space.
Overall the space is roomy, there's outlets and my table didn't wobble! I'll come back for coffee and...
