    Went to this place after seeing a tiktok about it and was super excited after seeing 5Star reviews. I ordered a latte and my friend ordered a chai latte. The atmosphere was cute and laid back but the coffee was very bitter and tasted a bit burnt. My friend’s chai also just tasted like milk rather than a proper chai. The sizing options also don’t make sense because I ordered a large latte and she ordered a small chai but her mug was a big white bowl sized one and mine was much smaller. I definitely think if the chai was made in a smaller mug it would have been better since the milk to chai ratio was off. Overall it was an okay experience but I don’t think I would go out of my way to come back. The guy working here is super nice though so that adds to the service and atmosphere being great.

    I stopped in here on a Saturday morning to grab coffee before my knitting lesson. I was so charmed by the hilarious banter and warm community I encountered! Everyone here is so funny and sweet. You can tell it's an integral gathering place for its regulars. Thanks for adding some much needed levity to my day! The coffee was great, too.

    Strong coffee and friendly service. Attached to a book store. Takes cash and card. Though it’s small has different seating nooks and one larger table if you need to get a few things done.

    I've been here many times, and today I decided to stop in for a cappuccino because I wanted a nice quiet place to work on a project. The amount of books they have is amazing. It's like they took all your favorite authors and put them in one coffee shop, combining the best of both worlds. Lots of little nooks to read and relax while having a beverage, or a bite to eat. It's definitely a great place if you just need a moment to yourself and de-stress or just an intimate coffee date. The owners are also always friendly and welcoming.

    Drinking a coffee in this place is an experience I’ve never had before. The music, the books, the plants and the welcoming host makes it a unique place. Plus the coffee was actually really good!
