This place is a def must visit!

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.

It changed so much that I instantly said I'm going to sit and have my coffee. I walked up to the coffee bar, not a plain counter, and ordered my coffee and a huge-sized banana nut muffin. My mind started to relax as I walked around, waiting on my order, admiring my first real authentic coffeehouse. I have never been in an intimate coffee space like Safehouse Coffee. There are two levels; the first floor is gorgeous, with plants and beautiful pictures on the wall. There are bookcases, too. I chose to go upstairs and sit in a corner in a black chair with low lights, sipping on the smoothest latte and listening to what I'm sure was the blues. I like that there are a lot of single chairs for people like me, who often come to coffeehouses alone. I scanned the room and spied a guy sitting in the corner, relaxing like me. It's such a relaxing vibe; you can tell it is a fun place, too. I can't wait to return, but this time, I'm going to check out the evening vibe of this place.

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.
