Baristas were chatty and helpful in making a choice. Everything we ordered was correct, even the modifications for our dietary restrictions. Its clear to see they take their service and products seriously, and it was a joy to soak up their fun decor for a bit of an afternoon treat
Very tasty and a great selection, especially if you are abiding by a vegetarian diet. There was cheese so not full vegan but I am sure some items will fit the mold. Coffee and lattes were excellent! I had the po boi and it was extremely tasty
First time stopping in and im absolutely in love. Good food and coffee, the employees are super nice and have great service!
Absolutely amazing vibes and employees! Its hard to find anything on the menu that isnt delicious very good location with easy parking and the coffee is perfectly made ...
Well I just popped in and grabbed a tall double latte after the gal at the Allspice downtown spice shop told me about this coffee shop, and felt like I had time warped over to Portland, Oregon, or downtown Seattle when I walked in. Superb ...
I dont usually go to vegetarian restaurants, but this place is great. The staff are incredibly kind, the environment is super cozy, and it just feels like a good cafe to grab breakfast and coffee and do a crossword puzzle. Feels like a great bookclub spot.
It is our favorite spot for two years now, I love the immigrants welcome sign they have in 3 languages on the window, it make us feel home every time we are there, the Vegan Reuben and grilled tempeh are our favorites on the menu.
