“ The best coffee in the neighborhood, and even better service! Love to see young beautiful, intelligent women creating a space for the community to connect. Thank you ladies! ”
“ Great place for remote work. Decent amount of seating, music can be a bit loud but great place to get stuff done. Coffee is okay, wish they had more snack options but really a good option for a place to get work done or study. ”
“ Love this place. The ladies are so friendly and personable. The oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookies are delicious. They are open early for the morning snack with coffee before work. I also purchased one of their tees. So cute. Also love their responsibility to our community. They kept a community fridge fully stocked throughout covid. They are an asset to our community. ”
“ Book Fairs Spoken Word Radio Show Open Mic Nights Writing Workshops THE BOOK STORE They are big on literacy, art, music, culture, and community and I love it! First thing first - the wifi is A1. Next the vibe is a vibe. Just a chill positive energy space. It's such a tolerant space that even with earbuds in you can feel when a change walks through the door. I first checked out the space because of a wine and book event. The event was great but I fell in love with the space. The staff seem to love coming to work. And the people that come through the doors mirror the look and feel of the neighborhood. Lastly the coffee is great. No need for all the extras just good *ss coffee for a good price. There are chains up the way that might be $0.50 cheaper that provide so much less for the community. Coffee, peace, and wifi = great! ”
