Two Kids

Cool neighborhood coffee spot with chill vibes, a little shop that sells some cool stuff beyond just coffee brewing tools and coffee beans, and some (limited) comfortable seating inside. There is also outside seating which is especially great during nice days. The espresso I got was wonderful, and it’s always appreciated when they’re served with a shot of cold sparkling water.

I just came in and had a pretty bad experience. I had just taken the train all the way specifically here to hang out for an hour or two, have coffee and maybe a pastry, and do a little work on my laptop. I ordered my coffee and started to sit down at the bar table and the barista (guy with beard/mustache/glasses) looked at me strangely, so I asked (honestly) whether I was allowed to sit there. He said "Yes, you can sit there, but are you about to pull out your laptop?" To which I replied yes, and wondered is that a problem? And he proceeded to tell me "None of us can force me not to use your laptop of course, but it really kills the vibes." Not knowing how to respond to that, I meekly told him I'd try not to use it too much. But as I sat there, I felt like I was under a time limit now and had to put this away as quickly as possible. I wasn't comfortable, to say the least. I should have said something back to him, but at that point he was off helping someone else and I just felt like leaving, so I did. Look, I understand the whole "vibe" thing with not wanting a ton of people working on their laptops in coffee shops. If that is this shop's "thing," then fine, but SAY SO UPFRONT. Don't tell your customer AFTER they have ordered and sat down, and make them feel unwelcome. Such a waste of time. Now I have a paid-for coffee and have to go sit somewhere else after traveling all the way down here. Should have just gone to Starbucks across the street.

The coffee and pastry I had were pretty good. The staff was friendly as well. I liked th atmosphere of the place. Wish they had more seating. Although the staff was friendly, the vibe didn't feel as friendly. I would come back but only for take out.

Such a joy! This shop is truly special. The house made almond milk is outstanding. Every pastry I tried + the almond butter toast was delicious. I was visiting from out-of-state to record some music nearby and Heath (a barista) learned my name on day 1. I visited 3x during my trip, and everyday I was welcomed by name and served with such kindness and sincerity. I had to leave with some merch (love the aesthetic)! I’m looking forward to the next time I’m near Los Angeles. Absolute gem.

Good vibes here. Great atmosphere, tunes, and the coffee and food are top tier too. Great to have even more good choices for morning coffee in south pas.

Trendy urban coffee shop with kind staff and a cozy but clean ambience. Baristas are skilled. I got an espresso with milk and it was so freakinggg good. Yum!

Cool to hang out with people who have the same likes and interests. Paper goods, fine stationary, cards, fountain pens and a free lesson in journaling. Lots of fun and yet intense! Small turn out but one on one with the presenter was amazing! Thanks Rachel for all your insight!

Interesting story behind the coffee shop. Spacious interior and I especially love the outside seating area, a perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon doing nothing or people watching. My latte is up to the standard, it is very difficult to compare them any more since everyone is doing a great job.
