I am fussy about my Mocha. They do it right. I popped by on an early Wednesday, to give this place a try. It was quiet, clean, stylish and spacious. There's nice tunes playing at a volume that gets toes tapping, during a good conversation. Good mood music. Uplifting. Nice way to wake up over a mocha. I enjoyed it.

The Honey Oat Milk Espresso shaker is right up there with the best cold coffee drinks I've ever had! The people and mission behind the place are extraordinary, too. I wish it was closer to my house.

A friend of mine told me about this place so I stopped by and got a caramel apple latte. That was the best latte I've ever had in my life. Amazing coffee and they support a great cause. I highly recommend this place.

Visited this shop a few times over the past couple of weeks. Try the Samoa Latte (Sweeter Drink) or the Honey Oat Milk Latte (Mildly Sweet)! Prices are very reasonable and service is very friendly. Although, my favorite part of this shop is how lounge friendly it is. Plenty of comfortable places to sit and relax for a couple of hours. Just shy of 5 stars compared to my favorite coffee shops, but this is easily the best coffee around Waterford.

My favorite place to enjoy some quiet time reading, or go on a coffee date with my little baby. Love supporting this instead of starbies, especially because the money goes towards emergency event and disaster relief. They have normal menu and a special one that’s a bit more sophisticated. I like pretty art and while it depends on your baristas ability, the brown sugar latte art is gorgeous ( as seen in picture). Bathroom in back, clean. Staff are always pleasant. It’s a quant little place with about 6 little tables, a glider chair, and small sofa couch in corner. Parking lot is usually plowed well during snow season, lots of parking spaces available.
