The proprietor of the establishment himself served us two steaming cups of latte with brown sugar on the bottom and the half and half whipped just right, taste heavenly. Service even better , felt like an authentic human experience, one very much needed just then. Today happy to report that they stay true to their authenticity and serve amazing coffee, are now expanding to Columbus and 92 and I’m glad that Karma is working in their favor...
