I really love this coffee shop!!! As a coffee enthusiast who loves exploring new spots, I was so excited to discover this gem after moving back to the area where I was born and raised. It’s so amazing to see a place like this thriving in the neighborhood.

This shop stands out not just for fantastic coffee and food BUT also for its inclusivity and diversity. It’s a welcoming space where POCs feel embraced, and seeing the diversity in my own community makes me really happy. The fact that it’s a Black-owned, female-owned business also makes it even more special to support
