★★★★★ 5.0 Chris Ober · Feb 2026

Lovely cozy coffee shop nestled into Lawrenceville. Barista was incredibly kind and made excellent drinks out of my ube white chocolate mocha and strawberry matcha. There's a very nice outdoor area and patio that I can't wait to see in the spring. The upstairs seating has multiple rooms for cozy seating and privacy to read or work. Genuinely loved this shop and will be back.

Cute coffee shop if you live/work in the area. I ordered a single espresso shot, the Lavender Lizzy cocktail and the breakfast plate. The ingredients for the Lavender Lizzy cocktail reminded me of a French75 riff however it tasted like a glass of lemon water with color from the butterfly pea tea and there was no glitter. The espresso shot was cold but strong… The breakfast plate was ok. Theres currently construction going on outside of the location so keep that in mind for noise levels and possible critters if you’re seated in their outside area.

Small place. Not a lot of tables. The food is good but a little pricey. Good variety of vegetarian options. We had the fried green tomatoes and a variety of breakfast items.

Fantastic service, food, and drink. Fried Chicken and Croffles was tasty, and the Lavender Lizzy and Fall Spritz were refreshing treats! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Jill - friendly and helpful with choosing our order. Definitely recommend!

Met some of my teammates here after practice for coffee. I ordered a matcha and thought that it was excellent. Their servings are plentiful and while I didn't order food, I was tempted after looking at my teammates' plates. It's a little tricky to find parking and it's rather tiny inside, but I can't wait to go back!
