Great coffee and non-coffee drinks! Sweet & tasty pastries. The staff are so welcoming and kind!! The space itself is beautifully decorated in a chilled-out “modern art” style. This place is an AMAZING to relax with your friends, come to relax and de-stress by yourself, or bring your laptop to work or study. There are couches and lounge chairs, but also tables with chairs that you can work at. The energy of this coffee shop is very calm and soft.

I got the ‘coffee on the beach’ and the cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese . Delicious, good atmosphere, and good prices.

So this was exactly what my partner and I were looking for to do work late night. We’ve been looking for a cafe that’s open late so we can work on business after work. The barista and owner were super friendly and had great vibes. It was giving struggling community gentrification artist cafe vibes (in a good way), and welcoming! With art all over the walls, plants for sale, a quick bite to eat (at an affordable price & with healthy choices)! The tables and chairs are all mismatched with a living room area, which all made the place feel comfortable. There was a band playing downstairs but you could barely hear it. We got there an hour before closing so it sucked being able to accomplish all of our tasks but we are glad we found it and we for sure will be back.

This place is a hidden gem! Went for coffee with a classmate here and was instantly charmed. The host is so affable and warm and welcoming. He even taught me about the difference between paypal and squarecash when it comes to point of service business transactions. I feel like this is a spot I'll be frequenting for takeout coffee since it is a fairly reasonable walking distance (and short biking distance) from my place. There are all sorts of little arty ads around are there is even an ad for tarot readings! The host himself does Reiki and is very spiritual. Such a sweet space.

This unassuming coffee shop is literally the best. Wi-Fi is always strong. Chai is amazing. There is more than enough seating. The bathroom is clean. And they have open mic like every night. It's really a gem.

Very funky cafe with a small venue in the basement that hosts shows. Very cool people and trippy aesthetic

I’ve been here a couple times over the years; I come for the vibe - it’s very peaceful. Today whoever is top dog was in and when I asked about gluten free stuff he told me they had gluten free bread and he could do any sandwich on it! What a dream - he is vegetarian due to allergies himself so he’s very understanding and accommodating if you have food allergies. It’s a great spot for computer work or reading - lots of seating and chill lighting.
