“ Mannn old city needed this! Stopped in for a coffee and quick bite. Met the owner Robbie, manager Cameron barista Emily. Everyone was so attentive and welcoming. Was recommended a pour over coffee which was next level in flavor and as a black coffee drinker it was the perfect start to my day. Along with the avocado toast that devoured in minutes pictured below. Wish I could give you more stars. Ill be back real soon! ”

I walked into a very cozy place that doesnt make you feel bad for lingering. I was greeted by a friendly associate as soon as I got to the counter and they took my order right away. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap because I wanted something like and like how can ya mess it up right? Not only didnt they not mess it up, it was the most remarkable wrap Ive ever had. Fresh and filling and side salad was fantastic. I will absolutely trek back up from SP for more lunches here soon. ”
