(This is not about the barista, they were fine. This is about the owner) They don’t accept credit or debit cards here and expect you to Venmo or Zelle them the money. I came in around 4:30 to get a quick chia tea and I asked if I could sit inside while I waited for my friend, the owner snaps at me “15 minutes and we close” when it says they close at 5 like- I just took the time to Zelle you for over priced coffee and a 30% tip for the barista and you’re gonna be rude to me.

I got a croissant sandwich and it was perfect and comforting. I live next to closer coffee shops, but I think I'll start coming here more frequently. I ate one of the tables outside.

The pumpkin spice latte was disappointing - it lacked any foam. However, the club sandwich was quite enjoyable and I would definitely order it again. read more The pumpkin spice latte was disappointing - it lacked any foam.
