4 years agoDelightful time. Stopped in on a road trip. Got an iced oat milk matcha and vegan avocado toast. Gal working was so kind and gave me some great local suggestions. Cozy atmosphere with lots of outlets so was able to get some work done!

*UPDATE - New Location; Still 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Expect the same warm but moody vibe and excellent attention to detail. A genuine coffee shop that serves house made syrups is where it’s at. The baristas were so attuned. They really not only created a most perfect latte (with art 🫶🏼) but also brought sunshine to my day with their kindness. Previous Review; I witnessed an excellent attention to detail when the barista here was making our espresso this morning. I really appreciate some one that truly hones their craft and the results spoke loudly. It was a most excellent house syrup cardamom latte. The energy of the space feels amazing! Kurt Cobain’s photo hangs on the wall as you come in and it brought me the nostalgia of an era held near to my heart. This is a place that holds you well, like the the comfort of home. This coffee house is perfect imperfection with its beautifully exposed architectural history. Show less

4 years agoRefreshing coffee shop with huge upstairs area to visit, play chess, and enjoy excellent coffee in Provo. They even make their own almond milk. Delicious caramel macchiato and avocado toast with a balsamic glaze!

5 months agoI was so sad when their old location closed but now I have a new hangout spot again. It is a little irksome not being able to see prices for the drinks but it is still cheaper than Starbucks and much tastier. The atmosphere was amazing and baristas were super friendly!

3 years agoLatte and hot chocolate were amazing and decently priced but what really made me take out my phone and write a review is the emaculate vibes. Don't forget to check the upstairs and beat your lover at chess. Alternative milk (vegan) available. Go check it out!

The building is a bit of a fun experience, with a big open space upstairs and a hidden room. The place seems to not keep as busy as it probably should since it's off the beaten path.

What a pleasant surprise to find the best coffee we've tried outside of the bay (in the US)! GET THEIR ESPRESSO. They do a light roast espresso which may be blasphemy to some but man is it good. We had a peaberry that really shined when not overwhelmed by a dark roast. Even the drip was pretty good. Think it was a Columbian. Good acid and fruit if you're into it. Vibes were chill. Outlets plentiful for those who want to work. Pool table is nostalgic for me. And of course the service was great. The woman who helped us has been there since they opened this new location (prior by the train station) and was honest about the pastries being store bought.
