It is so small. Good for take-away. You can go to the one which is bigger at the end of Rose avenue

Amazing little spot that serves damn good coffee. Try the Vietnamese coffee if you like your coffee sweet.

Great mocha, especially the Mexican mocha with Mexican chocolate. And you can have out with almond milk!

My favorite Mocha of all time, and you can get it with Almond Milk! Woah nelly! This sweet deal is even better when you use your Fringe Benefits card!

Use your FiveStars card for a free mug or drink! Ask for a card if you don't already have one.

Don't come if you're in a rush. Local joint with chatty staff. Which is probably great if you aren't in a rush.

Having an organic coffee latte with almond milk. One of the few places that offer almond milk instead of soy.
