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. That's just my personal opinion on my own personal review so no need to bash it or offer your own opinion on it. Coffee was good and service was quick on a Saturday morning!

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.

Possibly my new favorite spot for a bagel?…read more The matcha was good - smooth and creamy. The flavor of their vanilla syrup isn't my favorite but it wasn't bad. 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.

The greenhouse seating area is so nice, lots of tables, outlets, wifi, and a quiet calm place to read or study/work from home! The natural lighting is insane.

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.

Didn't know they move to downtown. I was hoping that it is in a house on the west side like before…read more Now the vibe has change. More like a art gallery that serve drinks and coffee than a cafe. Very minimalistic. I don't like it. Drinks are good. They still serve pastries from local Nantucket bakery. To me, the place looks weird, looks unfinished and seating is not comfortable

Unfortunately, my visit (weekday around 9:30 am) was a letdown. I was the only one in line, yet I stood there for several minutes without being acknowledged. The staff seemed more focused on their tasks (cutting a kiwi and making coffee) than on greeting or even informing me they'd be with me shortly. I had to walk out without making a purchase. I'll give this place another try, hoping my next experience will be better, as I truly want to enjoy it.

They do try to help you the best they can well having a nice and welcoming attitude. The Warm and 'plant-like' atmosphere bring a very cottagecore ambiance to every study you may find. I got the Boba as a drink and unlike most place, how over charge for a small boba. It was very large for its prince (Speaking in normal rates for Boba tea these days) As they were sadly out the Passonifuit Surrey and was a bit confusing on there boba order. They still made up for it run the tase. The only other note is that it was a bit hard to find as the shop said COFFEE SHOP and not Haggerty's on it, only in small letters.

I usually start with a bunch of photos, but I was…read moretoo preoccupied with taking in the charming ambiance, the veteran-created art pieces, the photos and stories all around honoring the legacy of the heroes who have served their nation, and getting to meet the interesting people inside. 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 would absolutely stop over there before or after going to one of those. There's ample parking and it's within the general area of the movie theater. The spot itself has a good amount of seating and some of the coolest decor. There is a massive wooden art piece detailing history which is so fun to just sit and read. The staff was more than friendly and polite. They gave us some really helpful information and recommendations for drinks. We didn't end up eating any of the food but the honeycomb dessert looked incredible and my boss has said that the spinach pie is amazing. I really loved my strawberry matcha! The drink was beautiful and tasted really great!
