Love the vibe and atmosphere! Great mixture of dimlights and natural sunlight with high ceilings! The staff are fabulous and sweet💕 the seasonal pumpkin patch matcha is phenomenal i ordered it with almond warm and it was the creamiest warm flavor with the matcha that completes it! I dare say my favorite fall drink over anything! And the pear handpicked qas the perfect little treat not too sweat and comforting!

One of the most beautiful coffee shops in Minneapolis! I tried their citrus flat white and it was excellent. The staff is super nice and there's tons of seating plus they support their community.

I had a great time visiting this cozy coffee shop for the first time today. The ambiance is wonderful & the lighting is beautiful. We ordered three different drinks & my favorite was their special matcha latte, it was absolutely amazing! The staff was also very friendly. Definitely recommend!

So the lattes and pastries are good, and I appreciate the creative seasonal drinks and items. There is also a food pantry with food, baby supplies, some flyers, and other resources, including a staff mutual aid fund. The natural lighting and plants are lovely. However! It seems like every time I visit, the wait is longer. The other day in a line with four people ahead of me, I waited for over ten minutes to place my order. A woman who arrived after me left after waiting for several minutes because the line didn’t move. There’s a couch directly next to the line where unhoused people like to lay down, which is nice in theory but standing directly next to someone who smells very strongly while waiting for food is off putting (and has happened every time I’ve gone in over the last year). This last time two staff were standing around and chatting while the third was taking orders, and I have no idea what was taking so long. When I did order, my drink was out within a couple minutes, and the staff were friendly. But the available seating was dirty, with crumbs on the tables, drink spills, etc., so for all the nice ambience, I didn’t stick around. Ultimately I can only recommend it if there’s no line and you don’t plan to hang out.

Super friendly staff. Open, airy, and quiet atmosphere. Lots of people working. Dog friendly. A nice place to relax and work. Stop in if you’re in the area. Their seasonal Lemon Bar Latte is amazing.
