🥐 fresh pastries 6 mentions

“The pastry I tried had a great flavor, but it was very dry --- I think they might benefit from having a door on the back of the pastry case.”

🛋️ cozy atmosphere 4 mentions

Great customer service! Location isn't ideal, hard to find parking. Busy area. Inside is impressive. The decor is lovely and the atmosphere is peaceful. Big and open space with plenty of seating. The drink itself was made beautifully. The taste was not as sweet as I thought it would be.

★★★★☆ — Leah, 2024-03

Pretty good spot for coffee in the North Loop! The space here is very beautiful, it's huge and nicely decorated. I really liked the ambiance and it seems like a great place to work or meet up with friends. The coffee is pretty decent, and they have cool merch on display.

★★★★☆ — Allie, 2024-03

Absolutely stunning interior! honestly one of the most beautiful coffee shop spaces I’ve seen. The high ceilings, warm wood tones, the way everything is laid out! it’s just gorgeous. It has that kind of atmosphere that makes you want to sit and stay awhile.
