A quiet little hole in the wall place that makes you want to just bring a book and hang out in one of their recliners with a chai latte (theirs are amazing!). Their cookies are what Crumbl wish they could be. They are well cooked but still soft. Exactly what you want in a meal sized cookie.

This was a really cute cafe with nice decor. The owner seems to hire people with disabilities which is really sweet. The staff were all friendly and the drink were great but the food was not very good.

I love the mission and concept of this cafe. My two lattes this week were lovely and I've tried several baked goods and they're excellent. The face-sized cookies are delicious. It's a welcoming spot.

Their raspberry coconut square is to die for. Never had anything like that. Also their staff is super friendly & would always greet you with a smile. 10 out of 5.
