“ This is the sweetest little hole in the wall cafe. It's unassuming with a gentle atmosphere. I've tried a few things in the menu and it's all been so good! ”
“ Highly recommend! I love this coffee shop! I was in town visiting from Austin and just happened to stop by on my drive back home. Nicole recommended the coconut latte and it is SO GOOD. I also ordered the Pate pastry and banh mi, both incredibly good with authentic flavors. The staff is all very friendly, Christian was telling me the story behind the shop and how they source their coffee beans. Everything is ground fresh daily. Very cute aesthetic, books to read, chess on multiple tables. ”
“ Great coffee place! I had a latte, a egg cafe, and a ham and cheese croissant. All were delicious! Great atmosphere amd excellent service! I will definitely be back when I come to town. ”
“ Very nice coffee shop to relax or work. They have a variety of drinks and food. The decor has a classic feel to it. Nice layout to give some privacy in a couple of corners. The staff is really nice. Try the Saigon Green smoothie it is really good. We had a business meeting there and surely will come back. ”
“ Always have the friendliest service and tastiest food/drinks. The awesome ladies there helped me with a great recommendation. They play Lo-Fi study music here and it's very peaceful. ”
“ Excellent service, food was incredible. Best tea I’ve had in corpus, and the coffee was smooth. Fresh ground beans (they have a machine in house!) The people were great, very kind and knowledgeable. Nice ambiance!!! ”
“ First time here. The manager was so helpful in describing the different coffees , and when we told him what we liked to drink , he made perfect recommendations. The atmosphere is very laid back. Sorry, I was not hungry . The muffins were huge and looked great. I want to go back and try lunch. They have books and games. A piano. It's just a great place to relax. ”
“ A place you can go to for not only a good cup of coffee, or espresso, but a place you can go to just enjoy yourself, get away for study, or even a decent lil snack. They kick out a mean Steamed Pork bun and a many fine foods are offered freshly made! Friendliest staff around, they are very accommodating, and are crucial on what they put out, because they love what they do! Ask for hidden gems that are not on the menu for more variety and those willing to try something new! ”
