★★★★★ — Britt, 2022-06

This place was great. I loved my drink and the atmosphere here. Looks like an awesome local coffee shop for Scranton. Comfy seat, great service and loved my espresso, tasty.

★★★★★ — Chuck, 2021-08

I didn't get any food here, just an americano. Coffee was OK. I was looking for a strong, bold, dark blend, and although my coffee was acceptable, it wasn't quite dark, bold and thick as I am used to. Atmosphere, however was awesome! Nice comfortable place with a great vibe.

★★★★☆ — Chad, 2023-11

Very quaint. Nice, easy vibe with a speakeasy atmosphere. Small hideout for a chat. Service is very chill. As long as you're fine with the wait it isn't a big problem. Not the place for a rushed espresso though.
