Every day there's at least four types of beans to try, plus many more to take home. Great food options, super friendly staff and the best community atmosphere I've ever encountered. Zero pretension!

Great spicy chai tea. Bagel with pbutter and jelly my favorite at home nice to see on a menu. Sat inside since outside had lots of dog owners. Awesome to enjoy chai watching owners resemble their dogs

Bring your dog! It's as much of a dog cafe as it is a people cafe.

Best drink ever: dirty chai (that's chai with a shot of espresso). Spikes makes a great one!
