When this place opened, it was extraordinary. It used to be exceptionally well-made coffee with the owners asking if they could do it better. They were interested in things like getting it right. Now it’s just a coffee shop. The coffee is fine, it’s not really attended to any detail. The tea is fine, they haven’t looked at Zojirushi brands of water control machines, so they burn the green tea. The thing is, I can get burned green tea without having to do everything myself (bring my mug, get them to fill it 2/3 with hot water, keep the teabag on the side…) at every coffee shop. With a smile, the manager showed me that she was completely disinterested in making these drinks well. Not even curious to look up what temperature is brewed at. So the pastries are still pretty nice, and if you just want coffee, this is fine. But it used to be special. Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2
Good place for your morning coffee. Friendly staff. Some pastries to make your morning even better. Nutella croissant seems to be popular. Inside and outside seats. Everything is actually good. Giving 4 stars just for the smallest size croissant I have ever seen in my life. Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast Price per person $10–20

Really cute coffee shop and study spot. They have a quieter room next to the cafe area. I got a mocha and the espresso had a burnt taste. I got a scone as well, which was tasty. Overall decent coffee, but there are better places. Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Sadly didn’t take any pictures while here but I came here to study since I had a gift card and I love the amount of seats they have inside, as well as electrical outlets to charge all of your devices when studying! It can get a little noisy inside so if you really need some quiet, I may consider going else where. But overall I did like it and would come back again!

I love this cafe! Everything is great from the service, the coffee, and drink and food items. The shop itself is lovely with lots of plants and local goods for sale along with whiteboard you can draw on. It's a really fun environment! The food tastes great and the baristas are knowledgeable and friendly!

This place has the honor of being the closest shop to my apartment, thus, my most frequented coffee shop. I spent 3 years of my college career not going here, but I’m so happy I moved in next door. The staff is always friendly and fun, and the coffee is good. My best friend and I would meet here regularly and just spend hours talking and laughing. I’m happy that I got to spend so much time here, I’ll miss this place!
Great place to have coffee in the university town. I have been coming here every time I am in town. Great ambience to sit down and enjoy. They also have a variety of coffee beans.
