Such a cool vibe! Helpful and friendly service! Fun watching the baked goods and food items being prepared in an open kitchen. The food is delish! Recommend the vanilla iced latte, the GF peanut butter sandwich cookie and the butter croissant.

What a discovery! Possibly my favorite spot in Phoenix. This is unique coffee / bakery / cocktail bar concept which I have not seen in many other places before. Everything is homemade with fresh ingredients. Can recommend their bakery, coffee AND cocktails. Everything was delicious - and amazing vibe inside!

Eclectic and delicious. Upbeat and chill. This watering hole along the light rail is a great place for coffee, chats and a snack. Or for drinks in the evening.

This eclectic spot made this Berkeley, CA gal feel right at home. The food was delish and the vibe is relaxed but high energy because both things can be true at once. Such nice folks! The baker, Britney (sp?) not only prepares incredible baked goods but knows and engages with the regulars. The coffee is superb. A zillion stars. Thanks for the warm welcome to Phoenix!

This place truly feels like a hidden gem! The vibe was so unique and cool, and I really loved that you could actually watch the baking process—it was surprisingly satisfying to see. The food itself was fantastic; everything we tried tasted fresh and full of flavor, and the coffee was honestly better than expected, smooth and rich. The bakery item I had was absolutely delicious, and the whole experience felt special. The only drawback was that there were a few flies around, which wasn’t very pleasant, and since you have to grab your order from the table, it felt a little unhygienic—someone could easily touch or even pick up your plate by mistake. Other than that, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the quality of the food, and the overall experience. I wish I could give more stars.
