First time going here, it just opened. Very cute cafe, and full of students doing work. They have ice cream and food as well as coffee. I got a regular iced coffee, which came out to $4.58. The prices are definitely steep, especially in a place with a lot of other coffee shops. The person at the register was kind, but also couldn't tell me the oz of each size, and seemed confused that I wanted just cream and sugar, no flavor in my iced coffee. The service was fast. They put heavy cream in my drink which was unexpected, since I assume "cream" means half and half or milk, but honestly it's my fault for not specifying. The coffee is not good, especially for the price. It is extremely acidic and pretty bitter as well, leaving an aftertaste in my mouth. It was sweetened well, but that can't save how abysmally bad the coffee is. There are so many more locally owned shops nearby that cost similar or less that have really nice coffee.

The atmosphere was cool. Seem to be constantly busy but not too busy. I was a little worried about the parking. But the church across the street provided ample parking. Friend and I met here for a friendly get-together the coffee was great. Although when we ordered our coffee we weren't asked if we wanted it hot or cold. So we received cold drinks when we wanted hot. But besides that everything was great. This is a great little spot everybody needs to try it at least once. I did not taste any of the goodies but they certainly looked good enough.

The coffee was great. I got the pour over and my wife for the pistachio iced latte. While mine was good, hers was excellent. We got hash oars breakfast sandwich that was pretty mid. Probably wouldn’t get food again but that latte will have us as repeat customers.

Staff is incredibly kind and helpful! I ordered the lavender fog based on their recommendation and it did not disappoint. It was sweet, but not too sweet, and refreshing (especially as iced). Will definitely be coming back!

I don’t typically leave reviews, but this was the worst coffee shop I have ever been in. The customer service here is absolutely awful. Everyone on this Sunday morning shift 10/19/25 besides the only male working needs to seriously be fired. Their reviews being turned off on Facebook is very telling. We waited over 15 minutes for one decaf coffee, myself and 4 others who were also waiting. Meanwhile a guy comes in, and the redhead makes him a free drink in front of everyone else waiting. The brunette has zero skills in customer service or clearly making coffee, she was rude, unprofessional and instead of making coffee’s which it seemed like was her job, she stood with the redhead at the counter for almost 5 minutes chatting with the guy who got his free coffee. This place is awful. The coffee was nothing to write home about and I’m pretty certain I didn’t even get what I paid for. I will never be returning and I’d be shocked if this place lasted long with the people they employe.

The service was great, and the staff was very friendly. I went on a Saturday morning so it was very crowded which is to be expected, but definitely not the place for a quiet study spot on the weekend. I ordered the seasonal pumpkin spice latte, cheese and bacon egg bites, and a chocolate croissant. It totaled around $21 and it was very mid. It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t worth the price.

UGA Alum that was in town for the game. We checked out this place because it looked nice from the outside. Definitely overpriced and the food was extremely underwhelming. The bagel sandwiches we ordered were not good. The bagels were heated in a way that made them rubbery. The croissant we ordered was stale and dry. When I mentioned that the croissant tasted old the employee told me their food is frozen and then in a very matter-of-fact way mentioned they didn’t have a bakery. Honestly, for $55 for two coffees, two bagels and a croissant, I would have expected the establishment source their bagels and croissants from a local baker at the very least. Oh, and we were served in to-go boxes and cups and had to clean our own table…after tipping 20%.

Delicious iced latte! My drink came out fast and all the staff were incredibly friendly. The shop is beautiful, clean, and there are plenty of places to sit. 10/10 recommend!

Cool spot for coffee. Interiors were cozy and a place you could sit comfortably for a while. Only a few parking spaces in the lot but easy to find other street options.
