Came in while leaving town and got a nitro cold brew with a croissant to go. Drink is delicious and very smooth. Staff was kind and helpful. They offer cute merch and have a very large seating area I wish I had more time to hang out at. Will suggest to anyone in the area and will come back next time I’m in town!

Fantastic and fun little coffee joint in so many ways! Excellent and fast service, great food, and amazing hot chocolate and coffee flights. They have regular specials, but their standard menu is outstanding on its own. Can't go wrong with the paninis - Italian and raspberry ham were both very good. Latte flight was very nice, and hot chocolate flight is an absolute must-try, every flavor unique and fantastic! Can't wait to go back! Update 04/2023 - Went back for more great coffee and food! Bagel board just as good as paninis! Update 06/2023 - Another great visit, tried their Flight to Paradise and Nitro Cold Brew flights. Flight to Paradise was the perfect lineup of excellent flavors, and Nitro Cold Brew was a unique trip through those varieties. Update 05/2025 - Still a great visit! Bagel and croissant breakfast sandwiches are delicious, seasonal Peaches and Cream Nitro Cold Brew was great, and blackberry lavender scone rocks as well.

Amazing, cozy coffee shop! The staff is great, helpful, and informative. They have a really good selection of options. Even more intriguing is they have flights to be able to try multiple products. THEY HAVE THE BEST NITRO COLD BREWS I HAVE EVER HAD! 🔥 Their cold foams are incredible! They do tasty and so well made! It makes me sad that I can't just take this place home with me! Will definitely come back when we vacation here again! Was really glad they had growler options.

We stopped by on our way home from the beach. So glad we found this hidden gem. Food was delicious, coffee was amazing, and staff was excellent. Especially Ray who took the time to be friendly and welcoming- even when we got there a few minutes after opening time. Completely recommend!

Really unique place, and we enjoyed a flight of coffee (sweet for me but such a cute idea). The tea was phenomenal, and Discover, which was a new brand for me. Very tasty! The lids were awful though. Spilled tea twice before they gave me a functional cup. Be careful’

Very unique cafe in a location you likely won't bump into unless your local. The place is beautiful and atmosphere is nice to meet up with friends or do some work or study. There is plenty of seating, so no issue finding a spot to sit, off peak I assume. Service was nice as well. I got a little ham and cheese panani. The bread they used is very good, soft and crispy and it tastes good. A simple ham and cheese combo for a quick snack, presentation is pretty. Chips and pickles were all great. Nice place overall.

Amazing coffee house! From their amazing nitro cold brew to their chai tea, everything was amazing. Also don't sleep on their food either! The breakfast sandwiches are aaaaaamazing!!! We got to enjoy a customer playing the piano while we ate in their cute eatery room. A mist go to if you either are visiting or live here.

Decided to pop in for an impromptu lunch and coffee after my friend, a Wburg local, highly recommended it. Definitely lived up to the praise! The nitro coffee was excellent, and the breakfast sandwich was also quite good. Staff were super friendly and seemed to really enjoy their craft, and the seating area itself was warm and cozy, with an ample amount of couches, tables, and warm & natural lighting - perfect for conversations, studying, reading, or just lounging. I’ll make sure to come back again whenever I’m in town!

New favorite coffee spot! Perhaps the best coffee of my entire life from Seattle to Mexico, and everywhere in between nothing compares to this place. Counting the hours til I can come back. The coffee itself is absolutely amazing and would still get 5 stars if it were sold out of someone’s trunk, but the atmosphere is top notch as well- perfectly cozy and comfortable. Very clean and ADA friendly with kind, friendly staff.

Cozy coffee shop! I had their seasonal Mardi Gras iced Voodoo drink and it was great. The service was a bit slow since there was only one barista during my visit. I do see myself coming back to try their flights and food!
