I ordered a cappuccino and my friend ordered a hot chocolate. Personally I try to stick to basics whenever I visit a new place. Hot chocolate tasted as if it was made with chocolate syrup and not melted chocolate and I don’t prefer that taste. Also, I’ve had good cappuccino at Red Hook, Awake, dose.detroit that are not really that far. But I absolutely love the vibe especially the vinyl evenings. Must visit for a cozy date or fun night out!
Very cute and tasty cafe. The quiche was sold out, so it must’ve been good. I instead got the Parmesan bagel with garlic herb cream cheese and it was fantastic. I dare say it competed with Detroit bagel. The caramel macchiato was good, had a slightly toasted taste, almost like caramel brûlée. Overall, I am very satisfied. I work EMS and am usually in the area so I plan to visit again. I would like to try the quiche and an iced coffee next time.
Visited for an afternoon pick-me-up latte and boy was I in for a treat! After ordering a London fog latte with oat milk I so happened to get Harrison for a barista who is passionate and knowledgeable about tea, so much so he had an organic earl grey blend in the back that he made it with and it was HEAVENLY. He was so personable and helpful also in recommending restaurants for our dinner later in the evening. The vibe here is so good. Parking is tough but it’s a walkable area so easily accessible if you’re walking around town. We also hit up Bon Bon Bon for treats, The Nest for gifts, and Carhartt. Fun lil midtown date!
This cafe was really cool and definitely geared toward college students. The vibe is super laid-back, and honestly, it looks even better in person than in pictures. I tried the veggie quiche and it was tasty. I wish I had more time on my trip because I would've loved to come back and try their cocktails!
Such a neat find; a hidden gem with great coffee. Iced coffee with their Floral Blend syrup, Coconut Caramel iced latte, Croque Monsieur sandwich were a delight. Good place to chill, read or study or just relax
