While searching for an apartment, my family and I discovered this coffee shop by chance while staying at a nearby Airbnb. From the outside, it’s easy to miss, but the spacious and cozy atmosphere immediately drew us in. We loved it so much that it actually influenced our decision to move into the building!The food and drinks are excellent—especially the homemade hot biscuits, avocado toast, and hash browns. We find ourselves coming here for breakfast often. Highly recommended for anyone in the neighborhood!

I don't leave reviews often, but I didn't get to tell them in person so I'll tell everyone and hopefully they see this review. I come here every so often when I'm around about twice a year and they are consistently really nice people, and the coffee is just delicious. I'm always too late for pastries, I'll get them next time. Great job guys! Thank you for your hard work (and sweet messages)! 💕Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5Noise levelQuiet, easy to talk

RICHARD & RAY ARE SUPERSTARS 🌟♥️ Being welcomed with their smiles & a cup of warm coffee in the morning is truly the highlight of my day!!! The two of them go above and beyond to make each an every visit special. I cannot rate this cosy little space highly enough to elevate the journal square area!!!

Underwhelming experience overall.The baristas were great. They seemed friendly and helpful.The taste of the coffee itself was average.Vibe of the place is good. It’s pretty spread out for a cafe and it offers a direct connection from the inside to the Journal Squared towers. The cafe has a modern feel so it’s not going to feel cozy necessarily. If you are ok with that and coffee that doesn’t wow you, you should be fine here.

This is a great coffee shop tucked under an apartment building. Most people here are studying or working, and it really feels like a cozy community spot. I often stop by while I’m waiting for someone, and it’s always a comfortable place to sit and relax. A lovely neighborhood cafe~

Really great find for coffee, the coffee tastes the best! Its Cozy cafe area with many places to sit about your business. The snack wraps are probably the best take on the snack wrap food item, and is the cheapest on the menu. Love ordering the butter bliss iced coffee, the foam is so good! Looks like they rotate with special items and have a schedule on what they'll have in addition to their regular menu.I've seen some interesting choices on there - Like seasonal christmas lattes- raspberry matcha, banana latte, fruity pebble latte, etc. Every time I'm in the area, I try to stop by whenever I get the chance to. Definitely recommend.
