The fact that this shop is located in the Rockrimmon area is a huge win, as there's nothing like it nearby. A great little spot for the neighborhood where it's located. QUALITY coffee at a great price! Lovely options for seating, whether you're meeting a friend or taking a meeting. The people running the shop are friendly and professional. Highly recommended!

The baristas/baristers are super cool, beautiful and delightful. This place is always well-attended, so you don't feel lonely. Lots of places to sit including the most perfect patio with lights and great views. In a wonderful area as well. I took a little walk in the neighborhood it is nestled within. This will be one of my favorite go-to spots. It has style. It has panache.

The baristas were friendly and I decided to get the house made soda titled the "paradise daydream." I added cream as well. The price was a little steep but expected at a trendy coffee shop. When I picked up the order, they forgot my cream which I paid more for and hastily added some after double-checking with the cashier that I indeed ordered it with cream. They then poured way too much making my soda taste like milk after they were done with it. Overall, the experience was nice, but I think I'll stick with an iced latte next time I'm there.

Very cozy, kind of professional vibe - I can imagine a lot of students and professors go there (I'm both!), with windows yet a dark academia vibe almost, succulents on the ledges and cute benches and chairs in front amongs the greenery. Probably the best iced matcha I've had in the city from my limited roaming of coffee shops this summer in the city. But maybe that is because I got whole milk instead of oat milk. I don't know. But it was perfect. Baristas are cool, and so much seating. I enjoyed reading Kant here. I'll be back.

Ordered an iced latte both times. The most recent was an Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Latte - it was average. Also ordered the Turkey Club Panini on the last visit and was underwhelmed. Loved the location and coziness inside - feels tucked away but close to a lot of things in town. Staff has always been friendly. I'll definitely be back, just need to figure out my go-tos!

Location was easy to find, open on a holiday (Labor Day), with a good selection of drinks as well as a food menu. Service was personable and friendly, and even the regulars in line with us made recommendations and conversation. We got the Raspberry Cheesecake Coldbrew (a featured special) and a hot chai latte (purported to be the best in town), at around $12. Both drinks were really tasty, and I like that the cold brew was balanced out by the flavored cold cream so it wasn't too bitter or too sweet. Hoping to come back again next time we're in town, since they're right down the street from my inlaws.

Long line and no menu to look at until you are at the very front of he line which contributed to the wait. Lots of space feel like they could bump up the aesthetic, decor and seating options. The outside patio was very cute, but to warm of a day for me, maybe add some umbrellas. Banana latte was missing the banana taste, was good but not as advertised. Would have loved if they offered to warm up the ham and cheese croissant. They did have some good pastry options but didn't display them well. So much potential but until they make some upgrades I doubt ill be back. Menu online does not match what they have in the cafe. Overall 2.5 / 5 stars.

Whenever I try a new coffee shop, I usually order a cold brew with oat milk since it's a great way to judge the coffee itself. The flavor was good, but I was a little disappointed with the drink. My medium cold brew was filled more than halfway with ice and only had a splash of oat milk, so it felt like there wasn't much coffee for the price. After recently visiting another shop that used coffee ice cubes to keep the drink cold without watering it down, this one fell a bit short by comparison. The atmosphere was pleasant, and I'd be open to trying another drink in the future, but I hope the cold brew offers more value next time.

FOOD: We got a couple of chai lattes which were okay, if a bit on the sweet side. My wife got an interesting ham-apple-berry-brie bagle sandwich (messy but tasty); I got a breakfast burrito (more of a breakfast panini) (huge, overly-cheesy, but tasty). SERVICE: In the face of a lot of business (it was 11 am, there was a line at the counter the entire time we were there, plus all the tables in the shop were full, as were several more in the hallway), the service was very friendly and fairly efficient. Drinks were ready in a reasonable time. There was a bobble with the sandwich order (drinks are picked up at the counter by name; foodstuff you get a table number marker and is delivered to you), but they recovered very graciously. Since the food was scratch-made, it looks, it was in a reasonable time frame. ATMOSPHERE: Very crowded, pretty noisy, rather spare and worn environment -- arguably all signs of how successful they've been. Saw lots of open laptops at tables -- I suspect a lot of folk enjoy the free wi-fi and good eats and drinks. The parking lot was ... very full, except for the several Tesla chargers, only one of which was in use (we still had a good charge so we didn't make use of them). NET-NET: It was a great place for coffee and a bite on our way north out of the downtown where we didn't have to worry (as much) about parking. In a similar situation, I'd be happy to return.
