La graine brûlée comes across as a lively, eclectic cafe with a welcoming vibe and plenty of seating that makes it good for working, studying, or catching up with friends. The coffee and snacks are often praised, with vegan pastries and creative drinks highlighted, and the space features quirky touches like a photo booth and a boutique with local merchandise, plus multiple seating areas that invite lingering. The atmosphere is described as fun, stylish, and unique, though some reviews note slower or variable service, occasional high prices, and inconsistencies in the kitchen. Overall, La graine brûlée stands out for its creative decor, casual charm, and versatility as a place to work, relax, or socialize.
Super cute queer coffee shop. The vibe is excellent. The cortado was good. Muffin was a bit dry, but I got a carrot muffin so maybe that's on me. Highly recommend

Cute little cafe to visit. Nice selection of coffees & they also have cocktails. There's also a photo booth, crane machine. I really like they also have a small boutique with local marchandise.
It is the ultimate spot for dates or friends' meet-ups. The funky, mismatched tables & chairs create a vibrant, cozy ambiance. A total must-visit in.They have good variety of snacks & sandwishes + good coffee
Nice artsy cafe, good service & great coffee - I took the cold brew & a lavender lemonade. It's also a great place to work - fast wifi & plenty of power outlets.
I've been coming here over the years & I do enjoy this coffee shop although I was surprised that they charge extra for straws. In an era of continuous health outbreaks, it should be understandable that some people may prefer not to drink directly from a glass. A straw shouldn't be treated as a luxury
I only had coffee, & it was very good. Once again, I will complain about the price. My impression before going there was that the coffee was cheap, it is not. Also, maybe I'm used to the size of a café latte Venti when I ask for a large coffee, it seems I'm always disappointed outside of Starbucks. My feeling is if you will ask seven dollars for a coffee then you better damn well give me a big one. It doesn't cost the coffee shop that much more so just do it. Also I should warn you that they have a strange policy of charging $.50, yes $.50 for a paper cup. Of course they say it's for the environment….. other than those two things the place was quite fun. It seem to be more like a playground for kids than a coffee shop. But it was a fun atmosphere. The staff were very friendly & nice to talk to you.

Super cute coffee shop in a beautiful neighborhood ! It is open late, delicious drinks/snacks, & of course, great staff! The inside is very cozy & has a lot of personality & style, I highly recommend for a date ! I tried the London Fog & it was delicious!
I want to rate this place higher because it is such a cute spot with good coffee, good service, lots of fun drinks & seating, & really good food, but dear lord the bathroom situation is abysmal & is a major reason I don't go here more often. For some reason both bathrooms are only lit with a single string of Christmas lights & one of those Halloween strobe bulbs. That sounds silly but it's dead true, trying to do your business in there is near impossible because it's so dark you can't see & you're also getting flash-banged every 5 seconds. I like this place but I hate having to use my phones flashlight just to use the bathroom.
