The gentleman working was so kind and we had a nice chat while I was ordering. I ordered a caramel iced latte. I could have used an extra pump or two of syrup, but I definitely do like my coffee a little sweeter. My boyfriend really enjoyed it though. We both really enjoyed the espresso. They also have several pastries that are available. They all looked delicious. I ordered one with cream cheese and a strawberry filling which I really enjoyed. There is also lots of items displayed for purchase. Everything was so cute and I will be back for coffee and to buy a few gifts!

One of our favorite traditions is hunting down hidden gems together, and this time my son and I set out in search of a new coffee spot. I took a leap with a bold combo -- earl grey, coffee, raspberry jam, and bergamot. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but wow... it was absolute ! While the vibe isn't quite my go‑to for a long hangout or work session (I'm big on ambience), they're not far off. For true remote workers, it's a peaceful find, and with a little more focus on noise and comfort, it could be spot‑on. Either way, the creativity in their drinks makes it worth the visit, and I'll definitely be back If you're looking for something fresh and unexpected, this is a place to put on your list!

Unfortunately, I've moved away HOWEVER I have successfully had so many of my friends become love interests to this location, that they're informing me when my favorite cold brews are back in stock! THEY NOW HAVE COLD BREW CANNED. So you know I purchase like 4 everytime I am in. Everyone and their mothers know I love this location, I've never had an issue with staff, who's incredibly kind, respectful and super fast to deliver drinks and food. They're drive through is speedy and if you're an addict like myself, giving your number to get points towards more drinks makes my entire life. Truly cannot speak highly enough about this place and giggling evilly as I continue to swap every Starbucks, 7 brew, and Dunkin lover over to this beautiful side.

However I still did not enjoy the coffee but I appreciate them remaking it. My friend got a chai and we each got egg and cheese bagels. The total came out to be a little over $30 for those 4 items. I felt like this was overpriced for drink and food quality that was not tasty.

Menu selections are vast. Coffee was excellent tasting and strong. Service was fantastic, answering questions and giving suggestions. We got coffee as well as muffins (get the blueberry) and I also opted for the ooey gooey grill cheese sandwich. I will say that was good but not excellent. Was it a grill cheese...yes. it was a good size and hit the spot, but not special or flavorful like most coffee places opt for with their versions. Make sure you go the restrooms when you visit bc it's clean and super cute.

The barista quickly recognized me and remembered my name after my first visit. And the coffee blew my mind. Over our visits we had an espresso, a drip, a Spanish latte, a New Orleans, a Cheerio and the specialty mocha. Loved them all. The space is gorgeous. Bright, clean with lots of big windows for natural light. Minimalist-the coffee speaks for itself.
