This little corner bistro is absolutely phenomenal!! If you are anywhere in the area and you can appreciate food that speaks to both your heart and soul then you have got to stop by and give them a try. Their drink selection alone is mind blowing. I had the "cookie monster" milkshake and it literally tasted like someone baked a fresh batch of cookies in my cup. So creamy and delicious! Their presentation of both food and drink puts them on a whole different level. My milkshake had gummy worms, all sorts of fancy sprinkles and even a couple cookie wafers. Everything is made with so much heart and soul you can taste it with every bite. From homemade french soup, to perfectly done avocado toast this places skimps on nothing and they truly aim to Thank You for your patronage. The staff was very friendly, service was phenomenal and the place was cozy and comfortable. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. One of those little neighborhood hidden jem places that will totally WOW you !!

It’s a small hidden gem cafe that offers quite the selection of brewed coffee with so many different flavors , delicious desserts and much more! We were given great customer service, “everything is done with love here” I recall our waitress saying. Will be back 💕

We stopped in to grab a couple of drinks. There’s so much flavor choices to choose from. The Nutella strawberry frap was great, very flavorful. Peppermint bark frap was minty and chocolatey. LOVE, love the vibe and decoration! Will definitely visit again for the food.

A small but vibrant coffee shop that has a cozy aesthetic with fantastic food. I tried two coffees during my visit, one was a basic hazelnut iced latte and the other was a dalgona iced latte, which I highly recommend. I ate their steak and egg panini, which was a special. It was delicious! My girlfriend tried their classic avocado toast and loved it! I highly recommend this place, the staff is super friendly and welcoming as well! Will see you soon!

Just here visiting family for the week and had some time to myself for a few hours and needed a coffee! SUPER glad I stumbled on this place instead of a “generic” coffee shop! It’s a cute little hole in the wall coffee shop and eatery! They have a very extensive menu with smoothies, coffee, shakes, breakfast and lunch items! I had one of their specialty coffees as a hot latte (can’t remember the name but it was yummy) and the Witch way IV, and it was very yummy and filling! Loved the savory flavoring of the apricot jam with the bacon and fried eggs. They weren’t very busy as I went on a Monday, so I was able to sit and enjoy myself while reading a book and just relax while the girls served a few other guests that came in and out, and they did a few other “house keeping” things. Great vibe, great atmosphere! Will definitely have to remember this place the next time I’m in town! And of course tell my family about it! Thanks ladies!

Found this place by a random Google search! Absolutely outstanding! If you haven't been here yet you are missing out! I got the pistachio cold brew with cold foam and her chicken soup and 12/10. The panini's looked amazing but unfortunately I wasn't hungery today but cant wait to go back and try them!

This place is a hidden gem. The decor is very eclectic and inviting, and there are plenty of both drink and food options. I have never had a bad meal here, in fact I’d say the sandwiches here in particular are some of the best I’ve had in the area. They have rotating specials which are always unique and interesting and delicious. The coffee is good, but if you’re a coffee snob there are definitely better options around. Still, with all the different flavors and combinations you can find something you will enjoy.

The atmosphere is beyond what one could ever imagine stepping into a bistro. By far, the most interesting display of art and furniture combined. The menu is with an array of options. I was in need of Coffee and was delighted upon its arrival and even more thrilled once I experienced it's delicious flavors.
