Stopped in during a business trip. Had a delicious pumpkin muffin, a PB smoothie, and capped it off with a cappucino. It is more expensive than a typical cafe, but the food quality was also noticeably better. Location is not the most relaxing or peaceful as it is nestled in a corridor with heavy foot traffic, so not a Cafe where you can work without distractions. I still recommend stopping here if you are in the area.

This is one of my favorite spots to stop and grab an amazing latte or cappuccino. Need something to cool you from the hot day, grab one of their delicious and healthy smoothies. It’s clear that the owners are health conscious. They use only the finest ingredients in all of their products. Check them out next time your in the area.

Love going here during my breaks at work! Friendly staff and great drinks. I’ll also get the breakfast burrito sometimes and it is delicious.
