“The vibe is warm, welcoming, and modern without losing that classic Mars charm.”
What customers say
Best in class independent coffee shop. Chill vibe, spacious and easy to social distance. GREAT espresso drinks - ask for the Sputnik or their version of a mocha. Pastries and breakfast sandwiches worth the $$. And, super friendly service!!
You need to stop by and try the coffee here. I had an iced Vanilla Latte with Whipped Cream and it was amazing! Their roast and flavors add a special something that other coffee houses don't have.
best coffee in dsm… most creative drinks too. i would never have dreamed of some of the combos they come up with. this fall i am loving the griff, which is earl grey tea with espresso, blackberry jam, and bergamot. i went out on a limb to try it and it is just my absolute favorite.
