Tried their acai bowl, seasonal cappuccino, waffles, and sausage breakfast burrito. All of which were very delicious, and the atmosphere was comfortable.

We are in town for vacation and stopped here our first day in town. While the coffee was absolutely delicious, the service was slow and the process needs refinement to make it run smoother. Other than that, the decor is charming and the coffee and hot chocolate was amazing.

What a beautiful gem! This place is awesome! I had a wonderful Thai cardamon chai latte and beautiful breakfast bowl. My husband had a waffle and oatmeal. Both kids had acai bowls. This place is great. Go out of your way to eat here!

I went there for the vegan food options while in town, but was pleasantly surprised by the coffee being amazing. The avocado toast I tried was rather mediocre though if I'm being honest. it really needed better slices of bread, less lettuce, and more creative seasonings. Good on them for having some vegan choices, but the recipe really needs work. But of course, the amazing coffee makes up for it and earns them a 5 star review on its own. The quirky atmosphere with a retro VW van inside of an old, soulful building that was once a dealership and an auto repair shop was also quite charming.

Wow! What a great find while passing through RC. Very friendly and welcoming staff and the food was excellent. My wife had a breakfast bowl and I had a burrito. We even took some chocolate croissants to go. All of it was so good!!! Stop here!! You will thank me later

This place knows how to make a true espresso. Too many places I go to they burn it or get the graining wrong and you can taste it. Pure perfection

More of a coffee shop than a restaurant but with a healthy variety of good options. Drip coffee was really good. I got breakfast sandwich and the square shaped croissant confused me but turned out to be soft and flaky and tasty. Vibe- nice and warm, kind of noisy like a cafeteria due to groups of friends meeting up to eat and chat, which is kinda perfect when you’re looking for a meetup spot, plenty of seating. Staff was very nice.
