    The coffee is great. Wished they had wifi, although not having it keeps up the cafe vibe, keeping it lively. Their gelato is really tasty! I would come here just for their gelato.

    Their coffee, baked goods, gelato (they have black sesame, yay), and staff are all awesome. This place is magical. Good noise level for getting work or studying done too.

    Pretty interior, high ceilings and jazz music playing. No breakfast menu but pastry options, got myself a fruit salad and coffee. Super chilled way to start your morning!

    Good coffee, comfortable vibe and I like them selling beans from Chicago. They don’t have Wifi and can be a bit too crowded.

    Lattes are phenomenal. Gelato is great too in the summer.. Had this a while back, but the Earl Grey gelato is amazing.

    The gelato here is made totally in house and excellent. Flavours vary, try before you buy. Pistachio and earl grey were both fantastic

    Get the mixed blueberry and blackberry muffin. In fact, get any muffin. They're baked fresh, from scratch, every day. And they're delicious!

    I met my wife here six years ago, so I suppose that says something about the people you might meet! Coffee and cookies are delicious.

    Manic Coffee tastes very similar to a new dark roast that I recently tried called Dudebox Sunset. Delicious!
