They have a great assortment of drinks you can choose from. I decided to do a Wild Maine Blueberry Iced Tea. When they mentioned molasses as a sweetener option, I knew I had to try it. As a result, the drink had the perfect amount of sweetness, but also a nice blueberry flavor! I paired it with a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie and it was the perfect combo on a sunny fall day :) I highly recommend checking this great little spot out!! :)

My wife and I stopped in here while we waited for our flight as it was one of the few places in the…read morearea that we found serves matcha. While we didn't try the coffee, it looked like it would be delicious. I can say that the matcha was lovely. It is not sweet (which I love) but allows for you to add flavors or sweeteners of your own (which my wife loves). The service was friendly and efficient. We weren't in a hurry so we found a table and hung out for a bit. You can tell that many people use this spot for studying or working remotely so tables seem like they may be hard to come by if it's busy. The inside was super cute and it's in a great location. If we're ever in the area again, we'd definitely stop in.

After several minutes I ask the manager if anyone is working the front counter and she gives me a look and nods to the two chocolate fans, who then one of them acknowledges us in line and starts taking orders. Once order placed, it took forever. Friends who came in through (you can tell they know each other) were served immediately and walked out with drinks/food well before those of us who already ordered. The bathroom was a complete piss bowl too, urine everywhere. Nasty.
