👍👍 Very cool hole in the wall type of place I just happened to discover when I was working in the area and needed to stop somewhere with free wifi. The vegan nachos are delicious, you can tell the ingredients are fresh. Very reasonable prices. Great atmosphere and customer service. People often mention coffee,

    What an awesome little cafe. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by Bradford (one of the owners) in which he helped me while I decided what to drink (ginger shot and cold brew, pics below.) I snapped a picture of the menu and sent it to my wife to find out what she wanted. While waiting for her response I found out from Bradford that this shop supports local artists, and he told me of all the different events they have done. They are very community driven, and it showed in all the regulars who would come and go as I sat there. I placed an order for some pizza. While waiting i found the music was calm and quiet, they seem to have a massive record collection and I’m sure full of many classics. It’s easy to hang out here and have a conversation. There’s an old tv playing classic movies at the end of the bar. The decor screams 80s kids, as there was ninja turtles, aliens and ghostbusters memorabilia on display. The main wall featured many pieces of art, with lots of diversity. Upon receiving my order Bradford thanked me for stopping by, introduced me to his family, and I was on my way. The cafe itself is fantastic, and I will be back. Having owners that are engaging, present and glad you’re there is the icing on the cake. If you’re in the area I highly recommend stopping here. It’s a gem.

    I always come here to recharge and for relief. One of my Favorite places to come for a delicious simple and healthy choice for breakfast. Avocado Toast with 2 eggs on top is my favorite! Always get a Double Ginger Lemonade which is Organic Lemonade with Fresh Ginger shots. It’s spicy this way but my favorite medicine!

    This would be the perfect date coffee place! It's cute and artsy, not all corporate looking. Spent $17 for 2 coffees (Frappe & cappuccino) and 1 sandwich, which for me was a little pricy. The croissant was so deliciously flaky omg. Next time I'm just going to eat croissants 🤣 The staff is friendly. It's the kind of place that makes you feel comfortable to hang.

    Attended an artist (Doug Bale) reception show which included new art works, poetry reading and music form various artists. Super casual & chill atmosphere. Great food.

    Amazing!! Great ambiance, delicious food (and vegan options) and the owner was very kind. Also, homemade almond milk was a great addition to our coffee drinks. We can’t wait to stop by again and hope to take advantage of some of the board games they have scattered throughout the cafe!

    I came here for an artist’s date to rejuvenate my soul and what a good choice it was! Excellent atmosphere and excellent chai.There’s natural light galore and lots of art on the walls. Gabe was very kind and attentive. The egg, cheese, and avocado jammy hit the spot, too.

    I found my new favorite coffee shop! Hands down the best java I've had in a while! Definitely a pleasant surprise after having too many watered down and over sweetened coffees from chain shops. The balance of rich coffee flavor with a hint of flavoring was perfect!

    Great coffee, small and delicious food menu. The owner puts a lot of care into everything he makes. Now offers alcoholic beverages as well. It's definitely a place you can spend a lot of time at.

    I was walking with my friend on Grand Avenue. She got thirsty and needed a cold drink. After we went back to her car, she decided to drive here. She got a smoothie. I got the bit of it that didn't fit in her to-go cup. It was good. It was cold. It seemed to be orange and banana. There is lots of cool art on the wall here. The guy working was pleasant and friendly. We were the only people in here on a weekday afternoon.

    Just called on behalf of my employer to simply ask if they had a community board or were willing to support our free volunteer based program. The person answering the phone not only gave a poor initial greeting, but hung up on me before I even finished my initial comment. Checking this off as a place I wont support, & will encourage others to reconsider. Hopefully they are better in person, but since there's hundreds of other options here in the valley, I don't anticipate giving them a second chance anytime soon.

    Owner is awesome and the food is excellent. Artwork on one wall is a display for local artists and are for sale by the artist. Service is great and everyone nice and helpful. Our bookclub is there once a month and the owner is so incredibly great about us rearranging the furniture to make a large table!!

    Eclectic fun little place. Limited food menu, so not really the business lunch café I was seeking. Looks like a good place for friends and drinks. Loved the art everywhere. Despite the signs, I didn't lose my catalytic converter during my afternoon lunch stop.

    Stopped in for lunch & a coffee, gentleman behind bar was super friendly. Food was very tasty- I highly recommend the pesto sammy!!! And he offered to top off my coffee before I left. Lovely little establishment!
