I got a mocha with some cardamom syrup for some extra spice at the recommendation of their awesome barista Cecilia. It felt like Christmas in a cup and one of the best cups of coffee I have had in a long time. Would go again.

Visited here in September. The coffee was great and I highly recommend the homemade cashew milk. Nice relaxed atmosphere and there’s an arcade machine on the third floor to play which I thought was a nice touch. Had fun checking the records out the on the second floor.

Amazing coffee, unique flavors, lots of milk options including an in-house made cashew milk with date syrup. Fresh baked goods. 2nd level is a record shop, 3rd level is a cute seating area with a 4th story outdoor balcony (uncovered). Service was amazing and drinks were delicious 😋

This is a nice place, the staff is friendly and the coffee & matcha tastes good, cool place to hang with a very chill vibe; they don't offer paninis anymore unfortunately but they do have waffles, and chia pudding, and pastries. They have vegan waffles and the chia pudding is vegan too (which is delicious), though I wouldn't recommend the waffle if you don't like salt on your sweet stuff.

Really enjoyed the energy of this space. Barista was patient and thorough with answering questions. Multilevel space that has a nice balcony on the top level Slight drawbacks accessibility issue. If you have a wheelchair or can't easily make it up a flight of stairs you most likely won't get to enjoy full experience. Person I was with also mentioned cookie would have been better warm so having a spot to warm up your pastry would have been nice( I agreed. I bought a scone)

I love the coffee and vibe here. Their homemade cashew milk is so good in some of their coffees. Staff is super cool, friendly, and efficient.

I just drank the best vegan pumpkin spice latte I’ve ever had!! Let me explain- she was a 12oz latte with 2 shots of dark roast espresso. The homemade pumpkin spice sauce was delicious, the homemade cashew milk was divine, and the barista answered all of my questions about the ingredients. It was a lovely experience 😁 10/10 recommend, go get that PSL 🎃

One of the amazing coffee places in Columbia City with ‘Excellent’ rating and welcoming customer service. During the pandemic they are open till 3pm and observe all other health protocols. Try the ice coffee, my friend who visited loved it.

Cozy, inviting atmosphere. Great coffee and tea, snacks, breakfast, etc. Staffs are nice and accommodating. Seating can be uncomfortable if you have a back issues. I recommend their waffle bar. There is no designated parking lot. Street parking only. Big stroller may have problem getting in because it is a small place.

I have loved it here everytime I've come. The several toppings of waffles are delicious and the coffee is always good. The record store section looks awesome, though I've never spent time there and the seating out back and on the third floor is very nice.

Cozy atmosphere on the 3rd floor with stylish interesting furnishings; great place to meet up with a friend. Delicious interesting coffee specials (mine was made with homemade cashew milk), and was better, cheaper and “prettier” than any Starbucks drink I ever had. (Also they don’t blast music so that you can actually hear the person you are talking to.) Music aficionados can find a fairly large selections of LP albums on the second floor. Also, nice people are working there and both times I went were not too crowded with plenty of seating. I plan to go back when the weather gets warmer for the rooftop seating (4th floor).
