What customers say

My partner and I visited this open-to-air coffee shop after seeing it on Instagram reels. I ordered the avocado toast and an iced Captain’s blend, and they ordered the banana and peanut butter toast, and an iced vanilla latte. Our coffees were yummy and our toasts were very fresh.

We ordered their signature espresso that was served so beautifully, check the pics! They have vegan milks and dog treats! My friend enjoyed the almond croissant! Seems like a popular spot, gets busy with locals and bikers but my friend and I were able to get seats and have a conversation!

Amazing little coffee shop, if only this was the chain instead of the mega chain we all know. Coffee was amazing and their espresso paired with sparkling water is perfect! The sweets are locally prepared by other shops and the coffee cake was perfectly sweet(not a lot unlike.

An incredibly delicious spot! I popped in for the first time and was so pleasantly surprised by the flavors of the matcha latte and avocado toast. Everything tasted so fresh and almost gourmet.
