I practically live in coffee shops...so this could be long...
First, it's a cool little spot, pretty good americano, limited milk choices...but that is usual at small places...and friendly staff, but a little longer wait than I am used to.
First, I think the name is misleading. My fiancé and I walked by this place for about 4 weeks before we even figured out it was a coffee shop. It seems like it is having an identity crisis. Since I live in the neighborhood, I get it, but I am still a little hesitant. The right part is trying to fill the gap of not having any grocery stores in the are and is like a tiny little market, albeit extremely small market. The left side is an open table area and coffee shop.
Second, I try to go to a coffee shop at least 4 times a week to work. I just moved into the area 6 months ago and have been searching for coffee on yelp and google regularly to find places to try as I still don't have my "go to" coffee shop. This place had NEVER popped up as an option for coffee, tea, etc...so you might want to work on that. As far as a work spot goes, this is pretty great. It is modern and open, lots of plugs, and lots of sitting room to sit and work or chill. There have also been a few meetings I have seen here, so great place to meet up with someone.
Third, I would come here more if you had coconut milk. You are a market, so usually markets have more options than the tiny coffee shops. Also, not sure what this thing is about oat milk, but I have tried it at about 10 different places and hated it every time. Not sure why oat milk has made it into small shops, but coconut milk hasn't. Oh well...one day hopefully. Until then, I will keep searching for my perfect coffee place and will be back if I am in the mood for a non-milk beverage.
Overall, pretty cool downtown Highlands coffee shop to work at, which is missing in this area. So it fills the gap, but it really seems like it doesn't know what it wants to be. Need to do better marketing on the sidewalk too, because based on the name, no idea what this place is. But check it out, grab a drink, grab some food from the market, and know what is inside, because we had no idea for a LONG time.
