Customers frequently praise the shop's calm atmosphere, friendly staff, and diverse menu of house-made syrups, lattes, and teas. They also appreciate the availability of pistachio milk, fresh pastries, and live music. However, low-star reviews cite issues with outdated operating hours, inconsistent opening times, and occasional cleanliness problems. Some patrons also noted that specific flavored drinks were overly sweet or that background noise from live performances was too loud for a quiet environment.

Hi Barbara,
Thank you for the kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the coffee and tea and had a friendly experience with our team. We love that you noticed the Wi-Fi and our little book-sharing collection too. Thanks for stopping in!
I stopped in here for coffee a few years ago and I still remember it as being one of the most wholesome coffee shops I've visited. The vibe was something special and the coffee was made with personal care, which isn't something you see that often these days. It was one of the best coffees I've had in my travels across the country.

Drove past this coffee place multiple times until I finally realized it was tucked in this small plaza beside Crave. It’s such a cute place and their vanilla chai was delicious!
