Love this place. Best coffee in town, the people are all amazing and friendly, and the pastries and sweets are incredible. They literally import their pastries from Italy. When you're here there's such a cool vibe. You're surrounded by art and high quality merch. Just a great concept and great place. You'll find me here often I'm sure.

Cozy place with a good dose of serenity, with arts and cool goods to inspire. Good coffee and pastry are of course why this place deserves a 5-star rating too.

Very cute place. Proper espresso coffee, great croissants and muffins. Friendly staff and nice environment. My cappucino was pretty bad, but I give 4 stars cause I've seen in other photos they can make a good one. I guess anyone can have a bad day and make a mistake, no big deal. I'd definitely come again.

Stumbled upon the shop after looking everywhere for coffee and this did not disappoint! It’s the cutest shop very well curated with art, books and gifts you can purchase in addition to coffee and treats! I had the most delicious coffee treat that beat just a regular iced coffee! The crema di café is a must it’s cold, smooth, creamy and perfect level of sweetness! Absolutely heavenly and the staff were wonderful and very kind !
