The atmosphere was good. It's decorated well. Good for working space. We ordered 2 iced latte, cookie & kouign amann, all for 23$. This morning i was so happy & want to get the coffee from this place until i come in, no smiling, i ordered waiting for the coffee, At first i was smiling the staff but no smile back at all. i took photos to give a review but then when i record the pouring coffee in the cup part as attached without people face at all. I think the bartender guy feel like i took his photo, & feel offended, he told me like next time if u want to record let other people know first, & no smiling...i was like what, i didnt even have ur face in my video. I understand ur privacy & i always respect that & if i want the people in my video i will always ask first & didnt even ask me if i took ur face. There is other way to tell people in a nicer way & with the service mind. I know u might feel offended & i feel that too. Also, the girl who took my order come to support the bartender saying that i should let them know as they got people took photos of their face all the time. I also shows the video to them but i still get the same answer. I got you & i wont come back to this place again.

The coffee was great & the cinnamon roll that I had with it. The only con was that the people working there were not having a great day. I wish them the best!
If you need to get some serious work done, this is the place to be! The wifi is excellent, the working areas are spacious & there are tons of power bars available. Not too that mention that the coffee is delicious!
Excellent espresso with a choice of different beans & decaf. The pastries are very good & the cinnamon roll particularly delicious. I highly recommend it for coffee nerds.
Spacious space with plenty of natural light. Great for a meet up or work. Staff is friendly & knows their coffee. Coffee is done very well & snacks are not bad either. Decently priced.
Real coffee. Not your regular burnt coffee from the big green chain. Locally roasted coffee & not only dark roast available. Their medium roasts are excellent. They also serve V60's (aka pour over).
Drinks are very pricy, but are perfectly brewed/pressed. Some of the best coffee I have had. Also, I accidentally dropped my drink after leaving, & upon going back to get another one, they re-made my drink for free.

Such a cool space. Lots of seating, excellent selection of coffee to drink - & so many packaged options for home brewing too. One of my faves in this part of town.
