Love this location! The staff is friendly and helpful. The place is quiet, spacious and cozy. Not too busy with students doing homework like at other coffee shops. A nice place to relax and enjoy your favorite coffe/tea drink with your spouse or friends.

★★★★★ — Claudia, 2019-09

Baristas were super nice and friendly. Greeted upon entering with a smile. Good vibes, away from the college environment. Played games with the family and caught up
