This is definitely a nice little coffee shop. Clean, neat, and well laid-out, we enjoyed our visit. Service is quick and friendly, and the pastries tempting. Right off a busy street, it is a quiet haven to chat it, read or write. Visit some time soon.

We come here when we do our laundry as it's not too far out of the way. It's our favorite thing to look forward to on those days. I'd go here over Starbucks any day. I've never been here but a few times now, and every time it's great. The food is pricey for what you get, but to be expected from a coffee shop. Absolutely love everything I've had there thus far.

It's a very loveable place, the food is good and affordable, staff is fine, the vibe is very cosy and relaxing, and it has lots of spots and outlets to work or study. But quite cold even in Aug especially the bathroom and I wish there were some cost notations on the tea menu and baked goods. Overall it's my favourite place in town so far.

A traditional coffee shop you can study and hang out. The staff are great and seem to know a lot of the regulars. Sophie is my favorite. Best coffee in CU.

The cinnamon dirty chi is really good. As well as the vanilla carmel late. However go to their website for an accurate menu. They no longer have the bourbon barrel coffee or the salted carmel mocha.

Good coffee, large sizes (their small cold drink cup is pictured), + awesome deals including $3 latte Wednesday! They serve their own beans.

Who idea was it to make a bourbon Carmel latte? Whoever had that idea give them a raise! It’s a great drink! The vibe of this place is relaxing, the staff is clearly hard working! I had a good experience and I plan on stopping by again to order more.

Service was great. My barista, Jaxon, was so sweet and willing to tweak my order to my liking. He was very kind and suggested a few items based on what I liked. I would 100% recommend coming here (and maybe even asking for Jaxon!)
