Rating steady at 4.6 stars with consistent praise for atmosphere. 23 new reviews this month.
“This place has a great atmosphere where freedom and relaxation come first. It’s perfect for hanging out with a group, and if you're lucky, you might catch some live music—like we did during our visit! The vibe is cozy, and the prices are pretty reasonable. The only downside was a mix-up with my pizza order, and while the one I received was okay, it could have been cooked a little more. However, the coffee was great, and the service was decent, though I expected my full order to arrive a bit faster. Overall, it’s a nice spot, especially if you enjoy a laid-back setting with live music!”
— Murphy Tassin“The girl on staff today was incredibly helpful and patient; very much appreciated the guidance as we were navigating the menus. Excellent setting for an early morning coffee on a hot summer day. Loved the outdoor setting an more intimate atmosphere. Will come back.”
— Cassandra Chisholm“Quaint outdoor seating. Even in the rain! Too much sugar in the matcha tho. They should use pure matcha powder instead of the premixed one where you have no option to not have extra sugar. Great staff.”
— Gary Ma“Cute cafe with lots of gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options! Service was quick, food was good! Drinks were fabulous! I recommend for a morning bite to eat with coffee.”
