Cozy coffee shop that we visited looking for some ice cream. They have a large selection of flavors and the staff (seems family run) were helpful and polite. They have a little kiddy corner of toys and games which is neat. The ice cream was yummy, and their affogato was great for the price. Nice spot for a treat for parents and kids. Parking in the rear lot was convenient. They have lots of seating in and outside.

I really love it here 💕. It’s homey, not pretentious, quiet, well located, good parking availability mid-afternoon. The owner and other customers are very pleasant. They also roast their own dark beans on-site.

Super nice and cozy cafe, great for relaxing or being productive! 🧑‍🏫 I really liked the blueberry latte 🫐☕️, it was super creamy and tasty, not too sweet. The wifi is also great and reliable 🛜

Excellent place to start your morning off - they're located in downtown San Carlos and have a large place with outdoor and indoor seating. Their menu has a lot of coffee and breakfast food to choose from.

This is a place my husband hangs out very often and the smell of coffee and people come here to hang out for long time and it’s a simple shop but really cool and chilled out. Very friendly shop owner.

I came in specifically for the coffee beans, so I can’t speak much about the food. The service is 10/10. A nice gentleman helped me purchase 1lb of coffee, gave me a cup to go and a punch card for future purchases. This is the kind of local business I was looking for and I’m happy they’re nearby.

We had an amazing experience at this place! The açaí bowl was absolutely delicious — one of the best I’ve ever had. What made the visit even more special was the owner herself. She is such a warm and genuine person, truly dedicating her life to this shop. She took the time to talk with us, always smiling and making us feel so welcome. The coffee was incredibly fresh too — they roast it right there on-site! You can really feel the love and passion in every detail. I can’t wait to come back!

I love this place. I’ve been coming here about 26 years. Young and Sue are great hosts. Great tasting coffee and I enjoy the atmosphere

They are really friendly. And they roast their own coffee, so it's delicious and fresh every day. The acai bowl comes with fruit, and it's really delicious. The ice cream is also delicious, but it's really crowded in the morning, so I went during the day. There were seats during the day, but these days, the outside seats are also cool and nice. The interior is not fancy, but it's warm and always clean, which is nice. This place is really nice.

Tried the macapuno ice cream. Slightly on the sweet side. The waffle cone was good.

Adorable coffee shop!! Outside seating was ok, the floor boards were wobbly...and the tables needed wiping down (food crumbs and spilled coffee). The service was wondering and the rainbow flowers on the inside tables were just the cutest!!! I will be returning

Neighborhood coffee shop that offers coffee, drinks, ice cream, snacks, and other items. The drinks are good, they have indoor and outdoor seating, and it has a nice neighborhood coffee shop feel to it. Location is great too. I lowered the rating due to a few improvements I believe they can make when selling roasted coffee beans. Unfortunately, they don't publish the date that they roasted particular coffee beans. Also, the coffee beans for sale are located in large tubs with no date markings and don't look very presentable. One suggestion could be to pre package some of their coffee beans into bags and write the roast date on those bags and place them for sale. Many other coffee roasters do it and it's a nice touch.

Came here for a coffee and a snack. I don’t know if it’s me but I definitely had trouble getting my order in, perhaps it was a language barrier. I asked for types of bagels available and didn’t get a proper answer. The store was operated by Asian folks. Regardless, We ordered the cafe Borgia and red espresso latte. Service was definitely slow but the coffee was good. The place also had a lot of ice cream options. M there’s a mismatch in the name of the shop and what they offer for sure

Looks like family run coffee shop. ☕️ is ok. I like the scone. Looks like many regulars who just go behind the cashier to refill coffee. Looks like 2 stores in one place.

Omg, this is the worst coffee of my life. I never knew coffee could smell this bad. I should have turned and walk away when I see the place is filled with retirees drinking drip coffee. We ordered latte and immediately regret when I see him steam milk with an uncleaned wand! The milk left on the wand had already dried! The Espresso beans are not freshly roasted. Definately will not recommended the coffee here.

The lady started yelling at me because I didn’t have cash to pay with. She said that they’re a small business and they get charged so much to have to use someone’s card. She made me feel like I was doing something wrong so I put my ice cream back and left. She also was talking to me with her back turned half the time. I’m surprised they have 4+ stars
