Although I was initially skeptical, I left extremely impressed. My wife and I were visiting from out of state, and I was specifically looking for a good decaf option. The turmeric tea I ordered was outstanding! Every sip was comforting and flavorful. I honestly wish I could recreate it at home. If you’re a local, visit with confidence. Bonus points for offering vegan baked goods as well!

Ive come here twice so far and have been super impressed with the service and the level of help offered by the staff. The environment is super friendly if you wanted to stay and do some work. The prices are also incredibly reasonable considering how much you get for the price.
