This place is definitely a hidden gem! The prices alone are wild in the best way. I tried 3 drinks, 1 pastry, and 1 waffle for just $29 (including tips), which feels like a steal these days. You truly don’t see pricing like this anymore.
The customer service deserves a huge shoutout. I’m honestly so tired of coffee shops where staff come off arrogant or dismissive. Here, the experience was the complete opposite; warm, genuine, person-to-person connections that make you feel welcome. That kind of hospitality goes a long way and is always something I really appreciate and miss when visiting a coffee shop.
As for the coffee, it has a unique, subtle woody aftertaste that’s surprisingly pleasant. I usually don’t enjoy oaky or woody flavors in drinks, but their coffee was so well balanced that the woody note feels more like a happy surprise. The cold brew had a stronger woody profile but was still smooth and well balanced. Laura’s Latte (with honey and cinnamon) was recommended by the staff, and it did not disappoint. If you’re someone who enjoys sweeter coffee drinks, I highly recommend it. My favorite, though, was the oat milk latte—the espresso paired beautifully with the nutty, creamy oat milk. I’ll absolutely be coming back for more.
Now let’s talk about the waffle. Hands down one of the best I’ve had in a long time!! Perfectly crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, lightly dusted with powdered sugar for just the right touch of sweetness. And the raspberry compote?!! Incredible. It tasted gourmet and added the perfect fruity acidity to balance the buttery flavor of the waffle.
They also sell pastries from one of my favorite Arizona chefs, Chef Chacon, which is always a stunning choice.
My only complaints (and they’re very minor): I really wish they stayed open a bit later so I could stop by after work more often, and I really hope they’ll offer bagels every day 🤞.
Overall, I’ll absolutely be returning—and often!
