Lots of LGBTQ+ propaganda so not my cup of tea when it comes to supporting businesses. Did see a handful of people there reading their Bibles and/or bible studies with a friend which was refreshing after seeing some of the other agendas in the room.

Cutest pick me up? Don't mind if I do!…read more I have to admit, I'm totally biased because I live right around the corner... but also, this truly is the cutest coffee shop in the Creston/Riverside neighborhood. It's connected to Kingma's, but also stands on its own. Their baked goods come from Lucy's, which is right down the street. Their coffee is always rich and leaves you wanting more. The prices are on the higher side, but it's our splurge every so often. Perfect place to work if you need a change of pace. A cozy, but trendy spot. And the baristas might be the friendliest in town.

It's a tiny space, way smaller than I expected, but bright with natural light and a couple of comfy couches. It's located in a new apartment building in Creston, so I expect it'll be pretty busy, like it was when we stopped by. Prices were average, $5-$6 for lattes etc. I got the red velvet latte and Nate got a cappuccino. They asked me for my name, but not Nate's, which was weird. I will shout it from the rooftops forever and ever: Baristas should always ask for your name when taking your order to avoid confusion when drinks are coming out!! Anyway, our drinks came out and were tasty. The red velvet latte had most of the flavor at the bottom which made it a bit unbalanced, but I still enjoyed it. The only food items I saw were a few pastries/cookies in a case, hopefully they can add some other food in the future. This isn't going to be a go-to stop for me, just due to the small space and limited menu, but I'm glad we checked it out and it's a good addition to the area.

I live for fun specialty matcha and while they did have one on the menu, the pine flavors weren't appealing to me. Surprisingly, the real star of the show was the bagel. Not the avocado spread that was on it, that just tasted like that overly acidic stuff you get in the little cups, but the bagel itself was amazing. It was chewy but not tough to chew. I loved its soft doughy texture. They also had some vegan treats available that i'd love to try next time. The matcha was good but not my top pick in GR but that bagel would definitely bring me back.

I realize the tiny structure is perfect for what this place is all about - honoring the stories each of us holds through connection and community. The coffee was smooth and flavorful, possibly the best drip coffee I've ever had (and I have had some really good coffee!) and I'm told by my wife that the chai was absolutely delightful. A small menu of drinks and treats may make this spot slip off of your radar - but you would be missing out on a magical little place that, as the name implies, truly has heart... and plenty of it.

I told my barista it was my first time so she said I had to try the chai latte, so I got that for my wife. I also saw they had ube syrup so I ordered an Ube Egg Nog Latte. It was so good. The ube syrup they use is high quality, as a Filipino American I approve. As an American latte snob I approve of the flavors in the egg nog. The spices were rich but not overpowering and the ube syrup complimented it so well.

The employees were friendly and helpful as I ordered my latte and a croissant. I was pretty sure I ordered it iced, but it came out hot. (Not a big deal.) The latte was okay, I'm not sure what kind of oat milk they use but I think it wasn't my favorite. The spinach and feta croissant was flaky and tasty but I wish they had a way to warm it up (or maybe they do and I should have asked). The vibe inside for to-go orders is bright and cheery, once you go down to the main seating level it's a bit dark and cozy. The wifi was fast and reliable, and there is a decent amount of seating for the space. Metered street parking is available on the surrounding streets. It's not my go-to spot, but if you're downtown and need a caffeine pick me up, stop in!
