So far the best coffee cafe I have been to in Orlando. First, COME FOR THE SOUP! Absolutely delicious. They have vegan, vegetarian, and meat soups. We had the roasted potato and lentil curry soups and they couldnt have been better. The flavors in both soups perfectly balanced each other with herbs to add a but of smokiness to the. I had the pesto eggplant grilled sandwich with mozzarella, tomato, and spinach. Eggplant want tart at all and the pesto added the perfect fresh kick. My wide had the croissant, egg, spinach sandwich and that was fresh, perfectly cooked, and delicious. The prices are very fair for the amount of live and timethat is obviously put into the food. We spent $22 conjoined and that was with a Kombucha. Atmosphere its like many other Indie coffee joints, fun and festive with awesome jazz music playing the afternoon we went. Would I recommend? Definitely. Are we coming back? Definitely.

This coffee bar has by far the best coffee that I have ever had! It is a small, quaint shop. It looks a little sketchy from the outside, by you cant judge a book by its cover. The coffee is not bitter, and much better than Starbucks. I got the Mo Jo coffee, which is their best seller. It is soy milk, coffee, soy condensed milk, and cinnamon! It was amazing! My brother and mom got a regular latte and they loved it. They make their own dairy free milk and soy condensed milk. They have a variety of dairy fee milk options. Also, they have a variety of different dessert to indulge in, including dairy free, gluten free and both options. You have to try the chocolate chip toffee cookie, the cherry-chocolate scone, and the gluten- dairy-free peanut butter brownie. I will definitely come back! It is a must try if you are in Orlando!!

I am all about the experience and this was one I really enjoyed. From the chill out atmosphere to the diverse cross section of people that came in while we ate our 2:00 lunch.I was totally entertained. we each had a soup and sandwich, the combination was great but I have to say the soup stood out for me, not the kind mama use to make....this was better. The wholesome hardy bread that enveloped my sandwich ( a medley of ham, swiss cheese and apples) made me want to save half for later but I had to eat it all. computers open everywhere with concentrating eyes gazing into the screens, and the hum of intimate chatty meeting of the minds huddled over coffee cups made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I kinda lost myself for a minute or two counting the monkeys I could find in the room.

One of Favorites! First off, Im not Vegan, although I try to maintain a healthy diet. My Boyfriend is Vegan, and he got me hooked on the Blueberry crumbcake here. Now Rasberry is my favorite...it is amazing. I hear the brownies are great too, but one addiction at a time for me. I like the vegan food too. The menu does rotate but Ive enjoyed every vegan meat sandwich Ive tried so far. Pretty friendly staff. Nice atmosphere, great coffee with different milk options like almond and hemp. They have some local artwork on the walls, a drive thru, about 3 couches and other tables to sit. Seating can get limited. Pretty popular place. Alot of people on laptops or doing some kind of work, which has never bothered me. Everyone is friendly, I would reccomend this place to anyone.

First experience in, wed been saying we were going to try it out..since the building looked so cool. Parking is a nightmare, but thats to be expected downtown. Walking in, the vibe was really unwelcoming. I dont know if its because we arent covered in tattoos or have brightly dyed hair or what. The owner seemed to be on the phone didnt acknowledge us at all. We stood there until this blonde woman came up and pretty much looked apathetic and annoyed at our presence. I ordered a flavored latte (whiched tasted like icecream) and my boyfriend got at cappuccino (which tasted like hot milk.) After looking at the dirty machines in their open kitchen we decided not to get any food. Needless to say, poor product and service means we wont be back.

One of the best coffee shops Ive found on this planet. About 10 tables plus a couch and a few comfy chairs. A few more tables outside. Quite a few outlets. Free wi-fi with no password. Indy rock on the audio, not too loud. Decorated in local art (mostly for sale), announcements taped up, used books, games. Metal ceiling. Hardwood floor with marvelous painted designs. I was there twice, a Wednesday night and a Thursday noon, and there were tables available both times. Young, hip clientele. Excellent selection of sandwiches - had a great curry veggie wraps. Lots of homemade style desserts - lemon anzac was amazing. Chai they brew themselves - perfectly spiced and sweetened. I love this place and want to move in.

This kind of coffee shop isnt my cup of tea, but there is a good number of people who love it. Service on my visits could be be a little more welcoming. The food wrapped in plastic is displayed in a cooler. In fact I think everything is wrapped in plastic. I guess to keep things fresh, but most places I visit dont wrap their food. The shop itself has a lived in feel about it and the mother in me has a desire to clean it up. I think this is part of the charm that many like. My latte and scone were very good. Theyre keen on progressive issues which I applaud. So if youre a feel at home coffee shop person you will feel at home. If youre looking for new and sleek designs with a welcoming service Id skip it.

I came here to meet up with a friend on a friday night which happened to be stand up comedy, I walked in the middle of a racist joke that was centered at African Americans and everyone is laughing very loudly ! Mind you I was the only african American there at the time i felt extremely uncomfortable. My friend who is (Caucasian ) who invited me to the coffee shop turned red with disappointment and assured me that if he knew that this place allows this kind of behavior he wouldnt bring me here ! The coffee itself was okay and didnt have much of flavor for me to remember , but I didnt find anything funny about that comedian and his tasteless joke and how embarrassed I felt walking into the establishment !

So I like this place because its a small, locally-owned coffee shop that offers a lot of personality. This place feels like it was designed to be welcoming to just about anyone - great food and drink options for any sort of diet (very vegan friendly with some vegan pastries that would be good to most non-vegans!). I would love to come here to meet up with a friend or curl up with a good book. My only big gripes would be that the space is small and can often fill up quickly, and the set-up just doesnt give many options for getting some real work done (space for a computer, book, lots of papers, etc... which is usually my reason for patronizing coffee shops).

This is not the place to go, if you want a quiet spot to read, work or converse. The coffee was bitter -- even their lightest roast. The fellow at the counter didnt know what kind of coffee their iced coffee was, the table was dirty, and when asked to wipe the table, he wiped the crumbs onto a chair and had to be specifically asked to clean the chair also. This is a good place for people who like a punk vibe, appreciate drinking unpleasant coffee so that they can feel they are living on the edge, and dont mind getting food scraps on their pants seat. I didnt try the food. The ceiling is really nice but that was the only thing I really liked.
