Located just off Civic Center Drive, it serves as a convenient stop for locals looking to jumpstart their mornings or settle in for a casual late breakfast.

The focus here is clearly on specialty coffee, with a commendable variety ranging from straightforward house coffees and classic espresso drinks to more inventive options like the Peanut Butter Latte and the seasonal Cookie Butter Latte. The coffee tends to arrive at a balanced temperature and robust flavor, making it a solid choice for those who truly appreciate their brew as part of a morning routine or mid-day pick-me-up.

Brunch items like the French Toast breakfast and the Chicken Salad Wrap keep things simple but satisfying, emphasizing wholesome, approachable flavors rather than elaborate plating or upscale twists. The avocado toast, topped with cream cheese and avocado, is another stand-out that seems to reflect the cafe’s commitment to fresh ingredients and honest, comforting brunch fare.

There’s also an appealing selfie-friendly aesthetic that seems to draw a crowd enjoying the moment—a local hub where social and culinary elements intersect.

Traffic-wise, the cafe works well for early mornings and quieter midweek days but is also a solid choice for those staying in nearby hotels or running errands in the Civic Center area. The staff interactions have been mixed in recent impressions, with friendly service prevailing overall but occasional hiccups. Yet, the welcoming environment and consistently good food and drink tend to smooth over those rare moments.

Great food, friendly people and great photo selfie environment. While visiting family I got a chance to visit this cafe a couple times and this bagel now has me in a chokehold, to the point where I keep all these ingredients in my household. I don’t know if it’s the honey, balsamic or love and care you put into this bagel, but mine do not taste as good as yours and now this cafe will be a regular stop anytime I’m visiting.

We were checking out of the Doubletree nearby and wanted some good coffee for our drive home. The coffee here did not disappoint. It was amazing. I got the strawberries and cream latte with oatmilk and it's one of the best lattes I've ever had, hands down. I'm sad that I don't live nearby to enjoy this place more regularly, but I'll definitely be back in the future.

I stopped by to get a quick coffee and got a Spanish latte with almond milk. It was flavorful and the temperature was good. Overall it was a good cup to start off the day. I’d definitely come back here again and try their other menu items.

This place is clean with a good customer atmosphere. The food was great and plentiful. The restroom spotless. My only mark against this place was with one of the staff members. My order cost a little over $18. I gave her a $20 bill and told her to keep the change. She sarcastically remarked, "Are you sure. A whole dollar." Hey, I'm a blue-collar worker, barely making it. That change could have easily gone back into my pocket. It's hard out here for all of us. So next time, keep your sarcasm to yourself. And if you feel that you must say something, how about "thanks".

Simply EXCELLENT! The French toast was a perfect melody of crunchy on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside. The Iced Strawberries and creme latte was smooth and velvety, but my favorite item was the Cookie Butter latte that came out not too sweet but rich and bursting with flavor. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

I've had my eye on this place for a while and I finally got to try it! I got a breakfast burrito and a matcha banana coffee. The breakfast burrito was hot hot hot and yum yum yummmmm. It was freshly made and I could help but take a bite while it was still hot! It was a pretty good burrito! The matcha banana coffee was super good! No, I did not get it because it had matcha, what interested me more was the banana. Let me tell ya, the banana hits the spot! I love the little bits of banana it had and the taste overall was so goooooood!! I've had banana coffee before and this one is up there. The interior was really cute. Very comfy and I stayed in there for about an hour. If you want a nice coffee place to work on stuff in, this one is a good option! Overall this place was really nice. My only issue is the price,, I think the price of the coffee was fine but the burrito was a bit expensive. Other than that, I'd come back here again to just chill out with that's tasty banana coffee! I recommend this cute coffee shop!

The coffee and breakfast here were both top notch. The service (Juan) was as well. One of the best croissant breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had and a surprisingly good Frappuccino to boot! Would definitely return, adding to favorites- good job guys!
