Very cozy study space! They recently switched management, so the food menu is limited until around August 2019, but the staff and coffee more than makes up for it. It’s a great place to study or meet up with friends!

This is the most friendly coffee shop I’ve ever been to and I loved it so much. Right when you walk in the owners make you feel right at home engaging you in friendly conversation. The coffee is good and well priced. Overall my experience was definitely a 10/10.

Love, Love, Love the new owners and the happy vibe in this cafe! My daughter and I try to come at least once a week. They are still growing their menu, each addition is great. Will keep coming. Love independent small places!

This was a nice little place, plenty of seating inside and a couple of chairs outside. Coffee not too bad either, the shot of espresso was good. Blended vanilla was actually a pretty good surprise you could actually still taste the coffee and it wasnt too sweet which I really liked.Turkey avocado sandwich was good, they have different baked goods we tried a zucchini bread and it was delicious. Would definitely come back again when in the area for sure.

What a cute little neighborhood place. Ive driven by here daily for months and finally stopped in. The space itself is really charming but not as charming as the lady who served me. My London fog and breakfast bagel were excellent. Im so glad I stopped in and Ill be back soon to try their lunch menu.

I love this place! The owner is a true gem with her passion for fair trade. Also everything Ive tried there has been delicious. The customer service is always warm and welcoming too. Overall it feels good to support a kind and passionate local business owner who serves fantastic foods, coffee and smoothies! The atmosphere is also very calming and also has places to sit inside and outside. Highly recommended! Hooray for Cafe Culture! We need more places like this around.

This was my first time at this cafe and it was definitely not the best experience. The cashier was very nice and had great customer service skills and the man was nice as well. But the food was very lack luster especially considering the price. I spent $16 for an average strawberry banana smoothie which was alright,and the tri tip i got was very bland with no seasoning or flavor all i could taste was the BBQ,the one bite I got was enough to upset my stomach the meat tasted like it was rinsed with water no flavor at all,,, My friend ordered a turkey sandwich she never got it because the cook forgot about it all she got was her milkshake which she actually liked. We only had 45 min for lunch and she had to leave with her sandwich in a bag and never got to have her lunch. It would make sense if they were busy but we were the only ones there. I will not be returning.

Service staff was friendly. The coffee was good. The shop has a very airy atmosphere; if you want a coffee lounge feel, this is not it. They also support SERRV and have some of the beautiful handmade objects on display and for sale.

Really cute place, food is okay but their internet is slower than my phones hotspot. Would not recommend to come here to do work or study. When I addressed the manager about it, she was dismissive stating someone else was on it...which wasnt the issue. She did not even try to fix it.

I came here with my friend G.Y. last week since we were looking for a cafe where she could have a late lunch but I could just have a coffee (since I already had lunch). This place popped up on my Yelp search and it had decent reviews, so we decided to check it out. It shares a back parking lot with the businesses on its block, so parking is pretty easy. Its really close to Carmela Ice Cream, which I have visited on multiple occasions, and yet I have never noticed this cafe (probably since it is off of Altadena and not Washington).While they do serve a lot of American fare (coffee, sandwiches, salads) they also specialise in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food. GY got their Foul which is a bowl of fava beans, garlic, lemon, cumin, and olive oil served with pita bread and a plate of white cheese, cucumber, tomato, mint, onion, and olive. She said it was decent but wasnt really a fan of the food. Shes not a Yelper but she said she would rate the food 2.5 stars but give the business 2 stars overall.I just got an iced chai latte and I thought it was pretty good. But the restaurant itself is really small. If Im being nice, I would call it homey... if Im not being nice, I would call it cluttered/messy with old items. The lady owner was nice and friendly, but this was not a place either of us wanted to come back to. I would probably give it 2.5 stars if I could, but Ill round up to 3 stars to support this mom-and-pop cafe.
