They just opened and this area needed a local coffee shop like this! The roast and brew their own coffee from Ethiopia. The people working (possibly) the owners were psyched that I was here to try them out and gave samples of their delicious baked goods. Honestly, the sugar cookie wasnt the soft chewy overly sweet kind but more like a delicious tea cookie. I was pleasantly surprised. At the end of my coffee, snack, and work session, I bought a bag of their in house roasted coffee beans. Cheers to local businesses that take pride in their products!

The coffee here is definitely gourmet and worth trying. Its fresher than Starbucks. Yirgacheffe is my favorite. Im a coffee expert. I know thats quite a claim. I used to roast and sell coffee in my early 20s and have tried hundreds of varieties and types. I can say that the coffee here is fresh and good variety and that this is a top-rate place.

Very modern cafe with brilliant organic coffee. All of it comes straight from the home of coffee, Ethiopia. A very relaxing environment. The workers are so welcoming as well! Customer Wi-Fi as well. I travel there from 20 minutes away, but its very much worth it! Overall the most ideal cafe out there. A top recommendation for ANYBODY!

Absolutely AMAZING coffee shop! They actually know their coffee and know what a cappuccino and macchiato are. Truly the best macchiato I have ever had. I would highly suggest anyone who is in the area and a coffee lover to make a stop, or several stops!

A small, friendly place. Good quality delicious coffee, roasted on the premises and good cakes. Our 5 year old (and my husband) enjoyed watching the roasting machine do its business with an explanation from the owner. Great place. Highly recommend!

Very friendly and they have an amazing, rare roasting machine on the floor. Bought some Yirgachaffe coffee roasted recently and should be much better than the stuff that sits on store shelves for weeks/months!

Great place to stop while waiting for traffic congestion to pass. Love the coffee - dark and earthy with lots of personality. Plenty of power outlets if you need to conduct business/study.

Good coffee, great staff and a very refined interior. They have a frequent customer program through the perka app and they are conveniently located next to a lot of local shops.

Tasty coffee, very small selection of prepared food. Good place to sit and hang out. Not mind blowing, prefer it over a chain coffee place for sure though.
