I'm not sure if they serve food since I'm currently fasting, but everything else I experienced made the trip and drive more than worth it. My only wish is that they had longer hours, though I completely understand the challenges that independently owned and family-run businesses can face. Nevertheless, this is a phenomenal coffee shop that perfectly fits my needs. The ambiance is both inspiring and warm, creating a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. I'll definitely be adding this spot into my regular coffee shop rotation, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great atmosphere and experience.

There were two employees working and they were both so kind. The young man who made my iced matcha latte was so proficient and he made a helluva drink.

I cannot wait to see their calendar to come out and patronize. I love Black-owned businesses being this close to home. The service was good, the prices were good, and so are the drinks.

What I found out later was that they close for a little in the afternoon, but open up again in the evening to become a cocktail bar.

It is one of those hidden gem places and one of my favorite spots to go to. Highly recommend.
