Zizo BashJuly 24, 2013Beautiful place small and cute. One of the best caffe late I ever had in my life. They use cafe vita beans from Seattle and use a gb5 la marzzuco. I am so coming back here I only live 4 blocks a way.- Mako DomoJune 18, 2013LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!! great coffee shop they serve single origin in a pour over everything hand crafted here. every time I come here I get a smile and great coffee recommended if u in to coffee
High quality doma roaster featuring coffee brewed strong yet smooth, served by friendly proprietors who know their stuff. Charming space + WiFi + limited seating; more of a take-out shop.- Kim LeeJune 27, 2013Very good coffee,nice people and a beautiful shop. kind of small but very charming. I tried the espresso macchiato which was excellent even got an heart on it . they give discounts to students
Consistently excellent. High quality espresso based drinks. Small place if you're looking to sit inside but there's plenty of parks nearby to walk to.
New spot! Single brew coffee is delicious. Lots of fancy espresso drinks and yummy looking pastries. Lovely staff and ambiance. I sense I will become a regular patron.
Great neighborhood spot. The pour overs are fantastic, as are the pastries which they get from Mille-Feuille. 14th St needs more great small businesses like this!
Andrew CJanuary 21, 2016Such an cool little coffee shop with great tasting coffee! The barista knew all the names and orders of her regulars... was so nice!
Wade VJuly 6, 2016The kid that made my drink licked his fingers, then wiped his nose with his hand, then poured my shots, played with his hair in the mirror while the coffee poured, then handed it to me holding the rim- DoubleDeuceSeptember 19, 2015Quick in and out if you want or interesting sidewalk seating and window seating if you've got a quick meeting or chat with a friend.
Jake MiddletonMay 20, 2013Excellent coffee. It's all ground in-store, as needed, and has the perfect flavour for a morning pick-me-up!
Chris BruceMarch 9, 2015Try the Sarahbella (latte with honey and cinnamon). Oh, and they have doughnuts from Dough!
Gabriel HayesJune 10, 2015Delicious iced coffee. Best coffee shop I have been to on 14th Street on the East side.
ºDamian White ºMarch 6, 2013Fanatically friendly staff. Great methods for delicious drinks. Shame they don't sell espresso beans to take home tho . Otherwise very good!
Nice place, very cosy. Okay drinks. If you want to get work done, this is your place to go except that they have limited space to plug in your laptop chargers.
Mike LydenAugust 31, 2015Great tiny spot to grab an espresso or latte, also: Chocolate Croissant, grab it.
- Chad HornerSeptember 14, 2015beans from Caffe Vita in Seattle, and nice outdoor bench seating during warm weather
The Pour Over reminds me of my grandmother's French Press coffee: Extremely fresh, flavorful and a little gritty.

Not only these guys know what coffee is but they are also not kidding around with pain au chocolat!
Cold brew is the real deal. And you can get it with CUPS App.
