Bright and inviting space with friendly smiling staff and good drinks! Limited seating if busy, but if available they have window facing stools, some table/nook style as well as a child corner. Menu is not extremely large but hopeful they will eventually have seasonal/limited offerings. The Wellness Lattes were the stand out interesting options due to their uniqueness. Enjoyed their Maca Cardamom Coffee (might not be for everyone) and want to return to try the Spiced Cacao and Vanilla Skies.

SERVICE had no issues. More importantly: This is a non-tipping establishment that pays a higher wage and bakes that into the price. IT...

It tasted nothing like cardamom nor chai. I honestly couldn’t stomach it even after adding simple syrup. Tried their croissant as well which was baked well but the salt flakes were very overpowering. A very unique cafe but not like the atmosphere most people are looking for when looking for a cafe experience. I think this place has great potential but unfortunately my first time was very...
