Truly my favorite cafe, a little hidden gem. The coffee is great (I get the iced white chocolate mocha), but I also love the food! If I could have the classic açaí bowl every day, I would. Marcus is so kind, and it’s clear he’s extremely passionate about what he does! I’ve been trying to come here every Sunday and I sit and read. Also, try the Dubai chocolate crepe. Absolutely incredible. Anyways, love this place, I’ll come here forever!

Known for their delicious coffee and unique sandwiches. We will be back. Not fast food. I had Dino Crepe. Best sandwich I have ever eat

Second day in a row stopping by here. The owner Marcus is such a wonderful person and all of his employees are just as wonderful. Everyone is very kind and helpful. I had my hands full yesterday when I was leaving and Marcus offered to help me bring everything to the car. Today they offered me a taste of their new Ube matcha, fabulous flavor. On the topic of great service and kindness, yesterday they could have easily just told me they were out of pineapple for my pineapple smoothie, but instead Marcus ran to the store to pick one up so they could make it for me. That is above and beyond great service. Yesterday I got a regular acai bowl with a smoothie (special) acai was great (only downside- granola was tasty, just wish it didn’t have raisins in it) perfect amount of fruit to acai and granola ratio, pineapple smoothie was wonderful, also got two pastries one jalapeño and sausage and the other black olive both good and the strawberry matcha which was wonderful. Came back again today after my fitness class and got an other strawberry matcha and their ube matcha. Both so good. I’ll be stopping in after all my classes.

This is a great cafe! I had their Mikara frappe which was really good! The person that served us is the owner I believe. He was very friendly and welcoming! I definitely am coming back to try the food. I hope this place does well!

Walked in and was greeted with welcoming ambiance! Ordered the avocado toast and shaken espresso and it was so delicious! Will 100% come back. In the past my biggest issue with coffee shops in general is the lack of parking, but this cafe is in a great location; in a shopping plaza so, plenty of parking available to work or stay a while!

Went here to try something new and this place did not disappoint. My wife got the banana matcha and I got a Nutella cream iced latte. Hands down the best Nutella based drink I have had. My wife said the matcha was AMAZING. The service was perfect! The owner took his time on the drinks to make them perfect! 10/10 will 100% be back!

This place has many house coffee on their menu, which makes it a unique place to try out different things. Their coffee is also very customizable to your liking. The staffs are very friendly. They also serve breakfast sandwiches, açaí bowls, and many small breakfast bakery bites. The cream puffs are….*drools* melt in your mouth. Delicious!!

Excellent service and a super high-quality açaí bowl—best one I’ve had in a looong time. I recommend getting the pistachio latte, too! Love this spot and plan to come back soon! :)
