This place is 100% about coffee. They have a small selection of expertly curated pastries both sweet and savory, but the main attraction is the selection of beverages.
Beans are expertly roasted by the owners, you won't find the dark, over-roasted burnt and bitter coffees here, their roasting techniques are perfectly tuned to bring out the complex flavors of the top quality beans they start with!
The selection of coffee drinks is significant, from a simple espresso, all the way up to the delicious and expertly crafted coffee cocktails like an espresso tonic. Their cold brew, and nitro-cold brew is the BEST in St. Charles for sure.
