We were on our way to thrifting, so we just grabbed some beverages to go. My niece got one of her faves, Cookies and Cream Latte, and I tried the Iced Passion Green Tea. Mine was delicious and I would definitely get it again.

They offer a great variety of drinks, and while Iām a big fan of their non-coffee options (Chai or Matcha), my friends who love coffee rave about their brews. The owner and staff are always friendly and create an inviting atmosphere. Itās also an ideal spot for hosting eventsāwell-organized, and the space has such a great energy.
