    The outdoor patio recently got a face lift and the vibes are immaculate there! So much available seating, shade, and light music to create the perfect atmosphere for a coffee date or working session. Don't miss out on their yummy drinks - iced coffee is always delish but this time I tried the cucumber limeade which was more tart than overly sweet!

    A delightful coffee shop with lots of beautiful plants, flowers for sale as well as some cute items for sale. I had the Lavender Honey Latte which was delicious and not to sweet (I only wish they had a larger size). I also had an everything bagel with herbed cream cheese and it was rather large and could be easily shared. Will be back again to work/study in their large seating area. There are a couple temporary parking spots next to the shop.

    Lots of more seating they added since the last time I came here a couple of years ago! It has begun an ideal spot to work from. They play music but it's relaxing and not too loud. The environment has great natural light and is very open.

    I wanted to take a moment to share how kind Cameron (I apologize if I misspell your name) has consistently been in our interactions. Being someone who is autistic and having a lot of dietary restrictions due to allergies, Cameron has always been patient, kind and gone above and beyond to make sure my experience is pleasant. The ube latte with espresso is my favorite and I not only enjoy the flavor, I love as you continue to drink the shades of purples, browns, blacks, white create pieces of art with each sip taken. The way it clings to the side of the cup and creates these mini masterpieces that warm my heart. I enjoyed my experience and Cameron always makes it extra safer for me to go. I enjoy how there is ample outside seating and I got to play with some of the toys available which was a nice treat. I enjoyed how there were umbrellas and a few different types of seating.
