I have traveled a lot and I always order espresso at local coffee shops, and this shop had great espresso! Also, very worth mentioning, this spot had an Islamic vibe/ concept which was interesting and so refreshing. This shop even had a private prayer room which was very very cool. I utilized the room for quiet meditation and blessed my long car road trip back to Texas. Highly recommend this place Show less

My new fave breakfast and matcha spot! No extra charge for plant-based milk, DELICIOUS sourdough egg sandwich. Total came to $25ish for two people for breakfast and coffee/matcha.

Nice spot in midtown. Great atmosphere for students and entrepreneurs. Food was okay, only had a cookie. The hot chocolate was less desirable. Great place to meet friends.

Customers constantly park in the alley blocking garage access for residents next door. The business doesn’t care.

This cafe from now on will be my constant on Fridays and Saturdays 😄. The atmosphere is so good. Also the coffee is great. They have huge books collection also. I mostly prefer sitting outside. The staffs are also excellent.

I had an amazing brown butter pumpkin iced latte! It was maybe the best iced coffee I’ve ever had. But, I wish they had lighter dairy milk options other than whole milk (like 2% or skim) and different sizes to choose from because it’s a bit much for a daily drink.

Really delicious coffee; great space to study. Wide open bright with windows all along front wall. Outdoor seating, restrooms and even a prayer room.

Numerous times I've made it in and out in no time at all and for me the black n tan is where it's at. I would expect to wait if you are getting food or something warmed up to eat. If it's just a cold brew then your in and out. Show less

Always a warm, welcoming vibe here. The staff is super kind and helpful every time. I know I throw them off sometimes because I’ll order online and order something extra when I get there 😅, but they always handle it with a smile. Great spot, great people.

Great little cafe with excellent coffee. I got the brown sugar latte which was surprisingly good hot. Halal food options. Prayer room was super convenient. Really nice place to sit down and enjoy the ambiance. Free Qurans in the waiting line. Honestly 10/10 can’t be beat.
