I've seen the signs for a while, so I decided to try it this morning. I asked for a half decaf coffee, and Nolan took the care and thought to custom pair the beans to make an excellent tasting blend! By far the best half-decaf I've had in my 8 months of pregnancy. Veracruz breakfast tacos are also a plus! Will definitely go back.

Inside seating was not available but outside was. I had no idea it was vegan and typically go for something different but everything tasted great! I got two types of tacos that were delicious and the red and green sauces were great. Ate/Drank at a nearby park perfect morning!

This is honestly the best coffee I've ever had. Plus, it's a perfect walk-up spot that truly feels like a part of the community. read more This is honestly the best coffee I've ever had. Plus, it's a perfect walk-up spot that truly feels like a part of the community.

The COVID policy only allowed for outdoor seating with very few tables, and inside seating was also limited. You order at the window and parking was decent with street parking available. The atmosphere felt new and clean, but not ideal since it overlooks a cemetery. The coffee was too acidic for my taste and the portion size was small for the price. The milk selection was not impressive, and I still prefer Oatly. The breakfast tacos were decent, but the sauce was not to my liking. Overall, the restaurant was okay, but with so much competition in the area, I doubt it will last.

It also doesn't help (for me) that they close at 1pm because I often have my coffee at 2pm. Went there today for a batch brew, and it's a little pricey at $3, but the barista admitted their batch brew was old as it was the end of the day and he made me an Americano instead. Quite tasty. If this place was a little closer or opened a little later, I might be here more often. But the staff has been nice both times I went, so I'll be generous and give them the 5*.
