Being a coffee snob (Seattleite) I was very happy to find this little hole-in-the-wall spot. Coffee was fantastic, the store was incredibly clean, everything was fresh and the staff had me cracking up.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Taylor
The vibes are always so good here. We love coming in on Saturday mornings about 9:50 ish. We get a baked good and a cup of coffee. The coffee is always great and the baristas are very kind. It's fun to walk around the shop to see what is being sold and also the plants!
