Visiting this coffee shop was a fantastic experience. I ordered a flat white with their house beans which were Brazilian. Elisa, the barista, served me a top quality flat white that was made with care and attention. Her service was exceptional. Towards the end Elisa offered me a complimentary cup of their batch brew. Overall, my time spent in this coffee shop was well worth it!

Beautiful specialty coffee shop, with care, attention to detail and love injected into every aspect of the business. Everything has been thought through and considered, from the decor, service and music to the food and of course the coffee. Highly recommend this place for those who value quality and want to experience being present with their coffee.

We had two really poor experiences here, back to back. On the first occasion, we just received poor service, with a snappy, passive aggressive male staff member hurrying us through our order and snapping at a mom with two kids behind us. On the second occasion, I was overcharged. A female staff member came out of the back to angrily tell me that it doesn’t matter what the prices say, and that I have to pay it. Whatever. Our group sits down, and whilst we’re eating, this same staff member comes back twice more to continue to pick a fight over the pricing. It absolutely spoiled our experience, and even another woman sitting at the next table over said, “I don’t understand what power play she’s up to, this is absurd!” I left my original positive review, and simply added the photos with a small note. However, the owner’s comment prompted me to revise my original review to a more accurate one, reflecting the sum of our visits. Hope they’re able to get their staff in order, but regardless we will not be back.
