Good coffee, didn't have the food, but looked decent. Big open seating on the main floor, looked like a lot of students studying/hanging out. 2nd floor has a niche, secluded seating area with a few tables and lounge chairs. Rooftop has a balcony accessible to all and great for a view while having your drink.

Such a cool place. As soon as you open the door you get a good vibe. I love the very open concept. Their music is soft so you can work or just have a good conversation. The coffee is excellent. The only down side is the parking lot. It gets pretty busy so you might have to wait for a parking spot. But totally worth it!

Is it just me, or are their prices raised each year!? The overhead for this property may be steep, but they make enough business to drop their prices by .25, .50 cents! Why are croissants $6-$8??? How greedy must you be? Syrup costs .75 cents, milk alternatives are $1?? Meanwhile, you have nearby coffee shops that offer VERY REASONABLE PRICES and quality between 30-50% less the cost. My friend and I waited in line today for 10-15 minutes just to receive a watered down pumpkin spice latte. This is why movies make fun of yuppy “modern” cafes that serve mediocre coffee. If I am paying nearly $12+ for a latter and pastry, please produce quality taste. We’ll drive the extra mile to CAFE WILD in Montrose. Great prices and consistent quality. To the owners, stop being greedy. Lower your prices. You might waste less product on expired produce because people will be more inclined to buy.

A throwback coffee haus n an unsuspecting spot for sure. Love the warehouse turned neighborhood cafe feel. My iced Americano was all I was looking for and their beans did not disappoint. I’d honestly forgotten they were here as I’m usually flying by n traffic elsewhere as their location is so centrally located and easy to get to. Parking can definitely be dicey at times as you’ll find a lot of folks here who look like they had a Sherpa bring n half their home office for they day. Still, it’s nice to find a place that welcomes folks n to settle in and enjoy their favorite espresso bevs n casual company and comfort. Was actually surprised to see such a light offering of pastries, etc, but maybe they were just low late n the day? I really should come back more as the service was friendly and happy to have me as a patron. Hope to see ya again soon.

I've only visited the place once and have not had the food. The vibe was chill and people seemed mindful of each other. I have not sat here working, but given how quiet it was on this visit (weekday afternoon). I would spend an hour or so here, certainly. Great decor. Love the modern industrial feel. Plenty of seating. My iced coffee was good enough. The brew was strong, which is much preferred over watery coffee. Service was fine.
