Andrew FurmanJuly 27, 2016Awesome coffee shop that also serves beer and wine later in the day. Lots of tables and seats making it very laptop friendly.
Dana DruetzlerAugust 16, 2014Your classic coffee shop selections with 5-star quality. Try the lattes, the best I have ever had. Also, an awesome selection of local brews, holla at ya Indianapolis!
Heike YJanuary 3, 2014I like this place. Only caveat is that they don't serve liquor. So sometimes if you're in the mood for a certain special cocktail instead of a beer or a glass of wine, this isn't on my short list.
Sander van HaasterenApril 12, 2016Great coffee and lovely staff. Love how the place is a fusion between a bar and a coffeplace. It has best of both!
Bent ClothFebruary 21, 2018Good coffee, their chai latte is my personal favorite. Other foods and drinks are sold. Very good selection.
LarryOctober 18, 2013Great place ! Good staff. Great concept idea, great efforts by the staff. Potential hidden gem of the city .- HadsJanuary 30, 2014Everything is great. Rich and delicious taste! Anything with white chocolate and raspberry flavors is the best. :)
Rachael JunardSeptember 20, 2015The service is friendly and definitely a great place to get some work done in a chill environment
Emilee ClarkAugust 12, 2014Service can be hit or miss, depending on who's working. Great atmosphere for an afternoon study session or a relaxed date night.
Espresso drinks are good. The vibe is cool and there's not really a bad seat in the house
The olives are a must try! Good beer selection and neat atmosphere, just missing some comfy chairs...
Love this place, glad it's in the neighborhood, and it's better every time I go. 😛🍸🍺
Matt DurrNovember 22, 2013No soy milk. :( They do offer almond milk, but it's a salty, unappealing alternative.
Gerardo GuerraAugust 4, 2015El lugar para visitar si quieres un buen café en un lugar trendy de la localidad.
