This is a cute little cafe on 1st Street. There is plenty of patio seating with blankets and umbrellas! They have a little dog water bowl near the door. I grabbed lunch by myself (and with my dog today). The service was superb! The menu is very easy to read. I appreciate how they have serving size suggestions and sample cups behind the cashier so you know what 12 oz or 16 oz etc looks like! Pastries vary daily. So take a peek to the right of the register to see what they have in stock. This particular day I opted for a 16 oz iced taro milk tea and the lunch sized (1.5 slices) prosciutto and arugula pizza! I was ask if it's to go or for there. I told her I'd be on the patio so she put it as for here and brought for the food/drink out to me! How nice! That's really appreciated since it can be a little difficult going out with a dog and not having a second person to help. I really enjoyed the taste of both items! The drink came out in a glass cup complete with a glass straw. How eco friendly! The pizza came out not too long after on a metal tray with utensils and napkin. You really get the taro flavor in the drink. There may have been sprinkles on the top of the drink too. The pizza was delicious! It was a great blend of cheese, a bit of acidity from the balsamic. They didn't skim on the prosciutto. It was well balanced. It was also a good portion. It was exactly lunch sized. I ate it all and was pleasantly full. For clean up please bus yourself. There are bins and a cart near the door. My total came out to around $30 after tax/tip. It's a little pricy. But the service was great and it's a small business so I think it's justified as a special lunch treat. The food was made to order and fresh/tasty.

Pistachio latte is legit!Faccachia toasts are fully with the perfect chew pull. Seating inside and outside. The super nice owners hosts trivia nights.

It's a small cafe but with big welcoming vibes from Rachel! *I went on a breakfast date with my little nephew and Rachel made our 1st experience there memorable! So shot out to her for giving awesome customer service while multi tasking! My nephew LOVED the kid friendly drink she made for him! We were able to cheers our cups together at the counter top seats looking out the window! It was very cutesy! The CAPPUCCINO was perfect! The milk foam on top was on point and the espresso was not weak so my Sunday started out right! The highlight for me was the AVOCADO TOAST! The bread is what separates it from all the rest I've tried! THAT bread with cherry tomatoes, everything seasoning, cotija, tajin, and a lime wedge all came together to make each bite an AMAZING one! Will definitely be back to enjoy coffee and breakfast!

Cute place quiet coffee shop.. I'm a big pizza lover so I went to try the pizza and I tell you it was well worth it light fluffy and crunchy taste fresh I wish I could've bought a whole pizza not just slices. Chatted the owner who was really nice to learn about how the pizza is made to order and the work that goes into it !! I will definitely be back

Taro latte (hot) $6.25This taro non-caffeinated latte is delicious. It's lavendar with colorful sprinkles on the top. I may be a regular after this.  has the right amount of sweetness and frothiness. They also serve coffee, and wine, and  pastries, cakes, and pizzas and specialized toasts. The place is quaint with plenty of seating both inside and outside. I love the wooden tables and local art displayed, which is up for sale. I'll return again hopefully in the morning.

Been here twice so far and love the variety of tea and coffee on the menu. From when you walk in there's this welcoming feeling you receive from the staff and the ambiance of the shop. Love the throw blankets that are offered to customers on the seats and love that there's a water bowl for dogs outside in front of the door. Both visits the staff were helpful and very friendly. Fun artwork on the wall from a local artist. My go to kind of coffee shop when I return to the area. Will definitely return.

What a nice little spot for a little morning coffee! I met up with a longtime girlfriend this morning. I had the avocado toast with bacon and a hot matcha latte, and she had a chorizo and egg croissant with an iced green tea. We ate on the front patio and had a lovely little morning catching up. My toast was delish, as well as the matcha. The owners/employees were so kind, too.

I gave this place 3 stars because while the matcha latte was decent, it didn't quite meet my expectations. The flavor leaned a bit too much toward the milk, and there was a subtle aftertaste that reminded me of powdered sugar, which wasn't ideal. On the plus side, I really liked the combination of lavender and oat milk--it added a nice touch. However, at over $10 for a 20oz drink, I was hoping for a more balanced flavor overall. The staff was friendly, the location was cute, and there was Wi-Fi, so it's definitely a nice spot to hang out!
