I live in the neighborhood, so come here fairly regularly. The coffee is delicious, the pastries are great and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I have made my way through all of the flavors of lattes and they are wonderful. Vanilla and caramel are my favorites, although the cardamom is also up there. I have also tried a cappuccino, which was fantastic as well. The pastries and the cookies pair nicely with the coffee and I especially recommend the Mixed Berry Scone or the Berry and Ginger Danish. This is a great place to stop in for a caffeine boost or to sit and relax for a while. Great shop, great staff and fantastic coffee!

Kinda wish the coffee shop had more comfortable seating, like couches or seating with cushions but alas, here I am, flat ass on hard surface.

I'd come back.

The Server at the counter, informed me that "the kitchen" needed a break, so I would need to wait. There were three tickets on the counter. It would have been nice to be offered a beverage. After almost ten minutes standing there, I left. I'm guessing the owners don't care, there is no Manager, and they are under staffed. I'll tell everyone I can find about my experience.

I got a breakfast burrito, which was the size of Kansas, and a large Café au Lait, also huge, and loved them both. The burrito was generously filled with eggs, beans, etc and the home fries were the perfect kind of crispy on the outside with just a little zing of spice. The folks at the counter were very friendly and the food and coffee came out amazingly quickly. A great experience and a great place to grab breakfast if you're in the neighborhood.

I called to see if they were dog friendly and they said they were so my boyfriend and I drove over with our two fur babies. Once we arrived inside, we were greeted warmly by the employees and they kindly instructed us to let them if we had any questions. My boyfriend and I first looked at their menu to see what they had and I love how their menu is themed! They also have lots of pastries both savory and sweet. I got their blackberry Faywild soda (their take on a Italian soda) and pumpkin pie macaron which was tart and delightful. My boyfriend got their white chocolate mocha was he was very pleased with, and he was browsing their TCGs and board games. They have plenty of tables and chairs to enjoy your drinks, snacks or to play board games. I cannot wait to come back to try out more of their offerings and to support a neat cafe that is dog friendly!

The cafe operates out of a cute airstream, and if you want to stay and sip there's outdoor seating. My family lives in the neighborhood, and walks to J Vein Caffé with my mom for a morning coffee is our favorite tradition. He also makes homemade whipped cream, which he tops the mocha with.
