    Unique coffee shop with helpful and knowledgeable staff. I had been waiting literal years for this place to open and it's worth the wait. We sat at the front of the shop which had great views of the Music Box Theater and while we didn't sit outside, they had a great front patio. Can't wait to come back!

    Finally a coffee spot in that area. I was so excited.

    I walk in, expectations high. Are they even open yet? Yes, soft pending. Whoa, don't greet me with too much enthusiasm, lady. The interest of the barista to serve one of her first customers was smothered with disinterest and any information about the place (food, official opening, ..) had to be pried from her.

    The cafe was ok, a bit on the acidic side.

    Service 1, cafe 3.5

    This place is adorable, and they have the BEST cold brew in the city in my opinion. I just taste-tested a few of their batches (at their request when I got one this morning), and both that I tried were amazing. The staff here is also friendly and helpful. This will be my new fav coffee shop in my neighborhood. Highly recommend.

    We've been waiting for years for this cafe to finally open. Service is good, coffee is good, atmo is nice. Food didn't look appealing and there were few offerings.

    Very enthusiastic greeting, happy to see this spot open, a space which I have been eyeing for many years (I assume they are even more thrilled than I am). Very eclectic decor, interesting impactful art on the walls, high end coffee equipment. Pleasant conversation with barrista. People sitting around reading/working. I had a cold brew to go. Complex flavors (-1 for having a bit more sediment than I expected). Otherwise, excited to return.
