It's a cute quaint coffee shop with great trinkets, stationary, mugs, cards and of course - Coffee. I had the Golden Gal (see photo). It was delightful. The baristas were super helpful and friendly.

Unfortunately, the drinks are mediocre. My husband and I ordered two drinks and a pastry and it came out to $31. The rose matcha was grainy and was not good. I did not end up finishing the drink. My husband got the periwink drink and it was okay, it just tasted like sweet milk. The pasty was like a poptart. So disappointed.

Non-dairy milk options are almond, oat, macadamia nut, pistachio. Tried one of the summer specials, pandan and coconut latte which is made with pandan extract and coconut syrup. Ask them to make it less sweet. The latte was alright. Could've been made either hot or cold. Also tried one of the pastries, a blueberry crumble danish. The danish was the highlight of the visit. It was very good, not overly sweet, tasted fresh. I liked the soft, sweet blueberry crumble in the middle. Besides pastries, in a small display cooler, they have mush oats, baked omelette cups, and a gluten free snack from Cravings. In the back of the coffee shop, there are some comfortable chairs and a small couch. Dim lighting at the tables. They have a loyalty card where you can get a " stamp" for every visit and on the eighth visit, you get a free drink.

The inside is so cute and cozy with a comfy little back corner with couches & soft lighting. It's baby & dog-friendly. Get the large, you'll wish you had if you get a small.

Honestly, I wouldn't necessarily count that against them because it may just be a sign that the donuts are really popular. They were completely sold out by 10:30, though, so definitely come early if donuts are your priority. We were lucky enough to grab a strawberry donut and a half dozen munchies, and the donuts themselves were GREAT! I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich on an Asiago bagel. The flavors were good, but the bagel was a little too crunchy which made it difficult to eat. If I went again, I'd probably either get the Asiago bagel with cream cheese or stick to a plain bagel for the sandwich. My daughter ordered the bacon, lettuce, and pimento cheese biscuit, but they were out of biscuits so she switched to a bagel instead. Unfortunately, they forgot the bacon entirely, which was pretty disappointing since that's a major part of the sandwich. My other daughter ordered the Baja breakfast burrito with salsa on the side, but the salsa was put directly on the burrito. To their credit, they did offer to remake it, but we had already been waiting about 20 minutes so we decided to just keep it. Oddly, we still had to wait another 7 minutes after that for our food. Overall, the donuts were excellent, but between the long wait, several order issues, and limited availability, it just wasn't a place I'd personally go back to.

While we were there, lots of people were coming in for full meals, and the atmosphere was really cute and welcoming.

At first , I wasn't sure I put the right place into the GPS or turned too soon, as it looked like a residential area and didn't have the largest signage. However, it's a cute little shop not too far from the beach. The latte definitely hit the spot. They had smoothies, breakfast items (bakery and hot). Staff was friendly and establishment was clean. They have a simple set up - bar top by the window, a large community table and then about six tables for 2. One gender neutral bathroom. I'd come back for coffee.
