This place is disregarding COVID regulations, to help keep people safe. They are extremely defiant to the governors orders, and continue to let their patrons decide if they want to wear a mask. The owner is completely unprofessional in his responses to criticism of this very subject. This place is a completly disrespectful towards the health and safety of others. read more

This irresponsible business owner chooses to put customers and employees in danger by flouting state mask mandate during global coronavirus pandemic. AVOID AT ALL COST!

I ordered a toasted bagel + cream cheese to go one of the days and it unfortunately was a little on the cold/lukewarm side. Not ideal but I can overlook that given the overall charm and comfort of the place. Just will be mindful to try something else besides a breakfast item next time.

LOCATION: Next to Victuals which I recommend you go to if you want a place that delivers more than expected. There's limited street parking. First come, first served. DECOR: Minimalistic and modernly clean and sleek. Mostly white with natural accents of wood and metals. DRINKS: NO KAVA do I want interested in else was there. FOOD: There was plenty of 90's era candy. Warheads, ring pops, pop rocks and sugar daddys. It was a blast from the past. STAFF: Kind, apologetic and youthful. EXPERIENCE: My partner has never had kava before and decides to stop in at this place. She's very excited about trying kava which she's heard so much about. So we walk inside and it's as quiet as a library. No music and no conversation as though everyone stopped talking when we walked in. We walked to the front counter and asked where the kava was on the menu. Then we were told how the kava house has no kava. If it weren't for the nostalgic candy and cute decor, I'd say 1 star. It's the only reason we even stopped in. That's literally false advertisement. The very kind and sweet staff told us that it wasn't even legal for them to sell kava because they were minors. So you work at a Kava House that doesn't sell kava because it employs minors or the kava house is a lie and doesn't even have kava? Either way, why would I come back? I can get candy and coffee at a candy or coffee shop.
