For any remote workers however, there is no available wifi, and no outlets, so I would not recommend this as a space to work on your computer, especially because the acoustics make the space a bit loud.

It has easily become my go to neighborhood ritual. ​The Coffee & Eats: Their coffee is wonderfully hearty, and the variety they bring to the table is impressive. Whether I'm sticking to a classic, comforting cup of their house blend or opting for one of their rotating specials, like a perfectly dialed in Ethiopian drip or their unique orangeinfused specialties, it never disappoints. Yes, the serving sizes are a bit smaller than your average corporate chain, but the rich flavor and high quality roast make up for it entirely. ​And whatever you do, do not skip the pastries. Their freshly baked almond croissants are easily the best around, insanely flaky and perfectly crispy on the outside, while remaining beautifully soft and pillowy on the inside. ​The Atmosphere: The vibe inside is cozy, lively, and full of character, heavily anchored by a beautiful collection of thriving houseplants (though I did recently offer to water a struggling pothos back to life, fingers crossed it makes a comeback!). Once a plant Mom, there's no going back.When the weather is nice, sitting outside in the evening is absolutely beautiful and the perfect way to unwind. ​It's the ultimate spot to grab a treat, catch your breath, and enjoy top tier local coffee. Sharing photos of the day I took a friend and she loved it too

They were out of matcha, so we didn't get to try it, but hopefully we will on another visit. The place was charming both inside and out.

Omg!!! I this this place outdid some of my favorite matcha places. I went in not expecting too much…read morebut was SO SO satisfied. My friend and I ordered the guava matcha (with cream) and strawberry matcha and both the drinks were delicious. Most places I do to I usually like only 1 drinks and not both that I get but both of them were extremely delicious. For the guava matcha, I was slightly disappointed and taken aback that they charge more for the guava cream but usually most places include it in the drink already but I def recommend getting it. It is definitely on the pricier side with my drink being close to $10 but it's sooo worth the try. The cream was so thick and creamy and their matcha is incredibly smooth. My friend got the strawberry matcha and that was so flavorful as well. Most times when I order starberry matcha the flavor is bland but hers was reallly good. It was a little hard to sip it through the straw though because of the syrup. The server there was extremely sweet as well. I didn't catch her name but I think she had an eyebrow piercing (?? Maybe??) but she was extremely helpful and made conversation. Loved the customer service. I also saw the workers who were making my drink take their time and care with it and measure everything properly with scales and everything which was great to see. And it's a cute small spot there which was so pretty. I RECOMMEND I need to go again once I get my money up tho

Wanted to give a special shout out to our server Chloe - who went above and beyond in accommodating our group with our special needs/requests. Thank you for the steller service! The bad: The second we left our large table (our party consisted of 3 people), a solo laptop camper (who had been sitting next to us before we even arrived) immediately jumped to claim our table. It may have even been the same individual as last time. I feel as though they should put signs that large tables are reserved for parties of 3 or more people. There's nothing wrong with working from such a delightful spot, but hogging a large table for yourself is really inconsiderate.

The baristas and workers have a great system in place to keep moving orders along. There is plenty of seating inside, but it does get pretty cramped with the large crowd rush. I decided to try the mazapan peanut frappe as I love mazapan and was intrigued by how it would taste in a drink. I was pleasantly surprised by how creamy and sweet it was! The peanut gives a slight salty and nutty flavor profile to the drink. I really enjoyed it! Overall, I would love to come back and try more of their drinks!
