Amazing people and amazing food and drinks. One of the guys working saw that I was putting sugar in my drink because I like mine super sweet and then the next day he remembered that and made my drink sweet literally JUST the way I like it. So amazing and very sweet to notice something as little as that because it really made my day! Thanks guys for making an enjoyable cafe experience!

From the moment I walked in I felt welcome , peaceful and uplifted, buy the owner, staff and the environment. The food was also very delicious. The waffles were incredible. I loved the veggie pizza & the Taro drink was awesome! I’ve been back a few times and I can’t wait to go again. They also have open mics on Saturdays and great entertainment.

I stumbled upon this inviting hidden spot on my way to work, and I'm so glad I did! The incredible smell of bacon coming from this cozy cafe was impossible to resist. As I stepped inside, I was warmly greeted by the staff and immediately felt at home. The atmosphere is inviting and intimate, with a lovely corner dedicated to instruments which I discovered they host live music events on Saturdays. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese sandwich, and it was nothing short of delicious. I highly recommend this charming cafe to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming spot with outstanding food. I'll definitely be back!

Loved the vibes, the guys working are super nice. I had ham and eggs with French toast and loved that everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly by the time it made it to me, husband had bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel and the eggs were perfectly fried, yum. I had a chai spice latte and it was delightful, their expresso drinks were also nicely crafted. We loved that the had games on the tables, and can't wait to be back for live music and to try other things. Great business to support with your dollars!

Went for a late breakfast with my wife, surprised with items on the menu plus atmosphere (especially the tic-tac-toe game). Tried waffles with fruits plus Americano, which was delicious and amazing. Enjoyed everybite and the time spent at this place. Staff and service were fantastic. It's definitely a go-to place. I 100% recommend!!!

This place was so unexpected in a great way. A charming cafe with rustic, country vibes that makes you feel so welcomed. They’ve got an extensive coffee menu serving blends from around the world. We got the salted caramel frappe and the vanilla caramel creme frappe for coffee and ordered the waffle and French toast from their breakfast menu. Loved the waffle best. Super reasonable with their prices too. Additionally, they also support local artists and have got art on display/for sale (super thoughtful for the local artist community). Ended up having a conversation with the owners and they were so kind and passionate about the business they’re running which is very customer oriented. We easily spent a couple hours there and didn’t feel rushed. I can’t recommend this place enough because they deserve to shine and needless to say I’ll be going back again.

I came here on a Saturday to grab a coffee and meet a friend, and I didn’t expect to find live music! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Mark, who seemed like he might be the owner or manager (though I’m not sure), was incredibly kind and took the time to tell me more about the live music. It looked like local talents had come to showcase their skills, which made the atmosphere even more special. I ended up staying for over an hour and loved the experience. By the way, the coffee is delicious! Highly recommend this place!
