What People Are Saying
“Definitely a hidden gem! … The place is so cute - there're many small decor items on display and likely for sale (mugs, cards, lotions, etc.).”
— Jane D., 6/19/19, Yelp
“What an awesome place to find so randomly! A coffee place created to put Special Needs people to work and sell their creations too! Had an incredible Earl Grey Honey Milk Tea and went home with a handmade coffee cup!”
