First time here. We were on our way up north and stopped in for a hot beverage. It's part of a…read moresmall strip mall on the west side, with a few metal café tables for outdoor seating. Inside is a large area with plenty of seating, plus some additional rooms for groups to meet. We received a friendly greeting and helpful service at the counter. I ordered my usual London Fog (little lavender, little vanilla, extra foam), and they did a great job preparing it. I also ordered a Cranberry Orange Scone, which they warmed up. After a few minutes (to allow the tea to steep), both items were ready. The London Fog was excellent -- flavorful, balanced, and not overly sweet. The scone, however, was disappointing; though warmed, it tasted dry and stale. Two other issues detracted from the visit. Much of the furniture looked worn and past its prime, and there were flies throughout the space that were a constant distraction. Overall, the experience was underwhelming. While the beverage was very good, the food quality and atmosphere would keep us from recommending or returning.

Interior is modern industrial with exposed raw woods, concrete floors and ceilings with heavily industrial seating and fixtures offset with modern colors and even a neon sign. It's a larger space than you initially think. There is a small seating space up front, a long window counter near the counter, another space in the back and then an upstairs area. So even when busy, you should be able to find a spot. I popped in for a coffee, cold brew with almond milk to be exact, and they delivered. $6-ish after tip for a medium tap cold brew plus milk of choice. Not bad. The coffee itself was decent. Nothing special, but nothing terrible. From counter to pickup bottlenecks pretty easily as the ordering line, people already sitting, pickup orders and folks waiting on their newly placed order all converge in the same space. Gets pretty hectic fairly quickly. Service was solid. Barista who took my order was friendly and helpful. My name wasn't called when my order was ready, but I was luckily watching the counter before I went and sat. Overall, cool space in a great location with a chill vibe and decent coffee.

When you walk in you're welcomed with a bright pink interior and cute decorations. I was a bit disappointed by the service, they were not very friendly and although we were seated immediately, it took about 15 minutes to be greeted at our table. This was redeemed by the appetizer we ordered, FAVS which is sautéed shrimp in garlic butter. This was the best part of the meal, the shrimp was perfect. We also ordered an iced mocha and a coffee which were decent but nothing special. The entree we ordered was the chilaquiles with birria and scrambled eggs, which were unfortunately another let down. The chips and salsa were cold and the meat was room temperature. The only warm thing was the eggs, it seemed like maybe they realized they forgot to make the eggs scrambled and left everything else sitting while they remade the eggs. For a total of $31 we got fed and cute decorations, but I can't give pink flamingo anything higher than a 3/5 and I will not be visiting again.
