Huge place! Wow. Can definitely throw events here. Super cool space. Came here early morning for a meeting. Got the seasonal butter scotch or something coffee ☕️and towards the end it got a little odd. The liquids started separating and … More it looked greasy for some odd reason but it tasted good in general. Donut 🍩 was great. Would love to come back and try their other food because they have food food here too. It looked like a lot of people were working here as well. 👩‍💻

Okay guys, this place is awesome, the staff is always super friendly, great drinks, and the atmosphere is great! From the sunlit front space where you can observe the action behind the counter, to the large back room perfect for studying … More or quality time with friend! They also have good taste in music in case you forgot your headphones when studying.
Okay, there's that, now, Jesse Bockwinkle, the manager, kicks it out of the park every time he's in (the other staff is also great, I just have the most experience with Jesse). Be sure to say hi to that guy and thank the staff for your delicious beverage and/or croissant. 100% recommend!
[Tip: pastries are half off after 4:00PM]

Talk about a great place to come anytime of the morning or night! The coffee is roasted in-house and in small batches. The menu is developed with close employee input and collaboration. The beers are wide ranging and very easy to drink! … More The space, let’s talk about the space! They utilize every inch of their location to make it great to be in. Big windows on the west side let in ample sunlight while not being over blinding. Tables are spaced out and great for small groups. The event space in the back is can be transformed into any event you could imagine. We had our baby shower in there and it was perfect! Finally the Staff, some of the best in the business! Friendly, kind, smart, and funny!
