What customers say

UPDATE to previous review: While I stand by the experience I had in my previous review below, I feel that it's important and fair that I mention that my past few visits have been fantastic!

★★★★☆ — Victor, 2025-06

One of the best places for good coffee and studying. Large and sunny interior. They care about where coffee comes from and they build relations with farmers and others in the business to make sure their business is beyond the coffee standards such as ethical farming.

★★★★★ — Haydar, 2023-08

The building esthetics are what draws you in, the the peaks at the roasting operations keep you intrigued. Service was friendly and fast. Many people were working from the ☕️ shop. It was busy but not overwhelming busy or long waits.

★★★★☆ — Sabra, 2025-11

Really nice coffee shop. Delicious espresso, self-roasted. Roomy area with authentic industrial furniture/shelving/etc. Large roasting space in next room. Friendly customer service, staff willing to talk coffee.
