- JBJasmina BasicDec 24, 20251.0So this is what arrived. It was supposed to take 21 minutes from when I placed my order and ended up taking 40 minutes extra. Wild work for this to be delivered. The taste was less thank ok. Not worth $10.
- KGKevin GunnNov 20, 20251.0Open, door unlocked, nobody at register. Could’ve robbed the joint!
- C8Crystal Bynog (The Crazy 8)Oct 29, 20254.0Food was great and the atmosphere was very nice. The staff were very friendly. Coffee was just okay.
- AGAlex GarciniOct 28, 20255.0I’ve been a regular here lately and it’s always a super pleasant time. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the beverages are great. The ginger lemon tea in particular is great if you want something sweeter
- MLMes liOct 25, 20255.0Love this place! Arts everywhere, perfect service, and reasonable prices — a latte and chocolate croissant cost around $9, which is fair. The café is clean and even has a water shelf on the side. It’s a quiet and cozy spot, perfect for studying or working.
