Absolutely love this place — best caffeine fix in town and a manager who deserves a medal (or at least a very large wine). Sarah somehow smiles through our never-ending string of customized cappuccino orders like, “extra hot, but not too hot, almond milk but only if it’s the fancy kind, and can you make the foam look like a cat?” She delivers every time. Great coffee, cozy vibes, and a manager who deserves hazard pay. Five stars!
