This is my favorite local coffee shop - unbeatable combination of amazing drinks and genuinely kind people. The baristas here are very welcoming and friendly and consistent with their drink making. This place sells their own fresh squeeze orange juice and my favorite drink is their hojicha maple latte. They have a lot of pastries to choose from but also have a board that lists the other fresh food options.

I walked a half a mile every morning for three mornings just to go to this coffee shop and I really love the place. the coffee is so good and I highly recommend the avocado toast and I normally don't eat hard boiled eggs but they're egg and cheese. croissant sandwich was very good

This is by far my favorite coffee spot! The drinks are always fresh & flavorful, the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is super friendly. A perfect place to start my day or just relax with a great cup of coffee

Absolutely amazing little coffee place! The service was fantastic. And the drinks were perfect. We were touring neighborhoods, planning a move, and this place was such a lucky little find. Highly recommend.

I absolutely loveeee this coffee shop, and if you haven’t tried the hummus, basil and tomato confit toasted sourdough you are MISSING OUT!!! It is so incredibly good. So is the dirty turmeric latte! 10/10🌟

Really nice to find a cafe in the area. There’s the usual selection and some specials. Tried their hojicha latte and peanut butter latte. Hojicha was ok, it’s on the lighter side flavor-wise but the peanut butter latte was delicious. There’s no indoor seating but there’s a bench and some seating outside.

I lived 10 years in Italy and I’m very picky about how my cappuccino has to be made. It has to have right not only taste but also temperature and the foam. I’m so lucky to live near by the coffee shop because they make my cappuccino exactly as I love. I go there every morning since 2021 and EVERYONE has been ALWAYS super friendly and respectful. The place is clean and the line is always fast. The food is very tasty and they keep very fairly prices. Please keep it up!!! Love!

although the brew here is literally the best in the hood there are some kinks you’d have to endure before indulging. very often i see the worst type of people that act entitled to the space as if it’s their living space, cut the line or just hang out in the tiny area to just drink coffee, oblivious that you haven’t ordered and indifferent to inquiring. the worst is that these folks almost never tip. but i love the spot nonetheless

The staff is great and the coffee is solid! This place has everything you want it a local coffee joint. No seating inside but to me that adds to the charm.

Every single time I come in here, I notice how differently I’m greeted and addressed. It’s a very noticeable difference how this older white woman treats anyone who isn’t white. I’ve come here a few times and every single time it’s been horrible customer service whereas anyone else is met with a smile and overall a happier introduction. As others have stated, it’s crazy for them to be acting this way in a historically Black neighborhood. I usually go for the convenience since it’s a 3 minute walk but I’d rather walk a mile than pay $10 for a drink with an unwelcoming attitude. Go literally anywhere else

Edit: forgot to mention the matcha honestly is terrible Unfortunately I’ll have to follow behind the other reviews stating this is not a place minorities should visit. The woman who is normally there ( not sure if it’s the owner) is NEVER friendly towards me when I enter. There is a clear difference with how she interacts with other clients and then minorities. This morning I walked in and stood in line behind a nice couple who ordered and paid. To allow space for other people to come in I stepped up to the register while the couple had a conversation about heating up their baked goods on the side. The woman and man had been taking turns taking orders, as soon as I walked up to the register. The woman didn’t even say hello (although she was very friendly with the couple in front of me) instead of a good morning or hello, I was met with an agitated “do you need something”, confused I replied yes, she then proceeds to tell me “the line is over there “ while gesturing rudely with her hands. I let her know I’d been here before the additional people came but that I’d just leave. If she didn’t notice me there the whole time that’s fine but she’s so rude and based on other reviews it’s selective. For context I’m a black woman and was professionally dressed (not that it should even matter). As others have stated other minorities (transgender,etc) have also had negative experiences. There’s a Brooklyn Blend in the area I’ll be going to instead.
