“ Great atmosphere, great location and great coffee. Definitely a great place to chill and get some studying and work done. No matter where you sit to enjoy your brew rather inside or outside you can still see everything going on downtown. Will definitely be back and would definitely recommend. ”
“ Visited this place for a cup of coffee and loved the relaxed atmosphere! There is a brewery inside as well. Dart board and board games are available to use. ”
“ Nice staff and good coffee. Cute space to hangout at as well. Shares space with a brewery for multiple options. ”
“ Excellent coffee shop in a great space. The coffee is delicious. I come from a family of coffee snobs & we were all super happy and each found something we loved. My personal favorite is the cafe miel. I was excited to see that they have gluten free pastries & was pleasantly surprised by how good they are! It’s also a great spot to work! The employees are all so nice. ”
“ From a coffee perspective, they serve MadCap, so the source is good! . They have substantial rushes, so in the summer they don’t do pour overs or things that take longer because it doesn’t seem feasible for handling volume of customers. Staff did a good job managing the expectations of the line when their espresso machine went out (I was working there all day). Friendly staff, attractive and inviting atmosphere with nice outdoor seating during the summer as well. Their space is shared with Oddside Brewing which means most of the day they have substantial seating. ”
“ Some of the best tea I've ever had! Service was decent on a busy day. Atmosphere is really good! Plenty of seating ”
“ Chill atmosphere, plenty of drinks to choose from with friendly staff. Place is clean with good music, a lobby with board games, power outlets for laptops, phones, etc. Great place to come for a drink and some games with friends. ”
“ Super good latte's, and unbeatable atmosphere!! We also tried a little breakfast treat, and didn't have any time to take a picture of it because it was THAT good. ”
