"Cortados are usually about 4 ounces; they informed me that theirs is two shots and equal parts milk. That would be around 4 oz, since a single espresso shot is around 1 ounce. The drink I received is at least 10 ounces. I wanted what was described, a smaller, stronger drink. It took over 7 minutes to prepare despite no other orders at all, and no one waiting. They seem to have forgotten about my drink immediately as one worker asked the other why I was standing there. I stay informed about the war in Gaza, I would rather not see pictures of children and adults who are missing, held hostage, or dead when I go out for coffee. I go out to feel comfortable and relaxed, not unsettled. This is a hospitality setting, and this display -- at eye level for children -- is disturbing and upsetting. It also turns the cafe into a politicized space and I imagine that can get very uncomfortable for people working there, as has happened elsewhere. I just don't want to read dozens of "kidnapped" posters while waiting for my drink to be prepared. Espresso in my drink tastes burnt and smoky. This drink is also way too hot and the milk is not as sweet as it could be if it was heated less. I would never go there again."

"Fab place! Delicious baked good and delicious coffee. We love coming here for bags of coffee for home as well. Great staff. Friendly, professional. I really enjoy supporting a woman-owned, locally-owned business like this. This is going to be my go-to place when I need treats and drinks for my real estate business."

"Kaye’s coffee is delicious. I never really liked coffee until I tried hers. She takes great care to make the best tasting coffee, and she truly succeeds. I bring a bag of beans to all my friends and family. Everyone loves it! My personal fave is Summer Daize. Medium roast, smooth, so much flavor!! When I’m at the shop, I get a perfect latte, every time. And the pastries…..so much yum! Fresh. Delish. Muffins, croissants, cake, biscotti, healthy nut bars…. Even bagels. Stop by the Wild Roaster. You won’t be disappointed!"

"For starters, I am not the biggest coffee drinker but I do occasionally like some caffeine. The location is within the train station which is pretty unique and cool. The inside is very cute and welcoming. The staff are also very welcoming and kind but the coffee I had wasn’t so great. The coffee that I got was the white chocolate mocha hot coffee. I decided to go with this one as I enjoy the taste of Starbucks version of it. The coffee was warm which was great but the taste was not so great for me. The coffee was very watered down and seemed to have that fake syrup flavoring. It also gave me the acidic stomach feeling after a while. Maybe some of the other options for drinks they have are better but I just didn’t enjoy mine. The price seemed to be a little pricey for me for a 12oz drink. I didn’t get to try their pastries but they did look very appetizing."

"This is a hidden gem. I didn’t notice this shop before I saw it on the toogoodtogo app. The coffee smell is just amazing. Loved the cookie and chocolate croissant. Will be picking up my coffee before catching the train next time from here. :) thank you!"
