Very cute little coffee shop. A lot of space to sit down and work. I got the orange blossom latte and it was a little strange because it felt like drinking orange chicken. Probably wouldn't order again but it wasn't bad. I enjoyed that it wasn't too sweet. Service was prompt and a large variety of coffees and teas to choose from. A few staples for snacks/food available as well.

Cute cafe in a convenient location. There are plenty of tables and outlets as well so it’s a nice spot to hang out. I ordered the PB+J latte and really enjoyed it! It had a nice aroma and a unique flavor.
