As a downtown plant store:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Coffee:
⭐ 1.5/5
I feel sad writing this review. It's a unique store, vegan, and the wintry art on the front window is so cute! I really wanted to like it and I do, but as a plant store. I would look here for specific plants and some nice stickers. They have some interesting drink options that may have been better, I don't know.
Ordered a 20oz hot vanilla soy latte (ran out of oat milk) and it inspired me to ask what coffee/roast a cafe uses for the future (when I rarely go to a cafe). Maybe that's the problem, I don't know. For $7.75 you should get something with some nice foam, and a stronger taste. It was warm but more like a chai latte, maybe horchata than strong coffee, and had a strong aroma like raisins or even a wine-like taste, not sure if that's just personal preference. At least non-dairy milk isn't $1 extra, but it wasn't worth it to me
There is minimal seating, only the 2 yellow chairs, and 3 bar chairs in a small area directly facing the side of the counter
