"Mr. kidd is a meat sculptor. His food will kick you in the mouth (the good way) His coffee is savant level. I once saw him bottle feed a dragon that had lost its mother in the great polar vortex of 2020. He is the man we want, but couldn't possibly deserve, yet he continues to provide for us all. The food and coffee taste good also…"

"I was recommended this place by a local who I work with back home. They said, "It is the best coffee I have ever had!" I was in town from two hours away, so I knew I had to stop by. They were busy, so there was a bit of a wait. But the atmosphere and staff were very welcoming. The coffee was awesome, and the breakfast burrito I got was even better. If you have time, stop in. It's totally worth it."

"Food is good, but is overpriced for what you get and is just not worth the experience. The staff are not courteous or helpful, the wait times are long, and the website does not allow any customization of the order. They always say they are very busy, and they may well be, but I dont think I've ever seen people move slower and less efficiently making coffee and ringing people out. There is no doubt this is part of the reason they are always running behind. I've made a point to give them at least an extra 15 minutes longer than the time they tell me for pickup, because my order has not once been ready when they said so, but I frequently still have to wait. It's a cute little specialty coffee shop, but just seems poorly managed, and staff definitely give off the vibe that they could care less whether or not they have customers. In fact, maybe more the vibe that they wish they didn't have any at all."

"Love the vibe of the place and their creative breakfast sammiches. Staff are incredibly friendly, and I have yet to find a better iced Chai latte."

"I stop here almost daily. It’s the highlight of my day! Coffee is AMAZING! Staff is amazing as well!"
