New to America, I’m from England, and had no clue what the hot spot was but I’m so glad I came in today! The gorgeous Madelyn recommended her favourite drink, white chocolate mocha with cinnamon, and it will be my new go to. Not only did she make my drink, she made my day . Great conversation from both Amber and Madelyn I was almost late for work. The Asian persuasion is a real thing guys

So as far as a coffee shop/cafe goes...this place is cool:) I've ordered coffee here close to 10x & it's a bikini barristas who make the coffee for you! For the guys who are guys,it's delightfully pleasing with the ladies in there lil outfits.& Some of them even have pleasing conversation as well. They selection of coffee bean flavors are awesome & they do a flavor everyday! I also bought the BIGGEST chocolate chip cookie I've ever seen there which was phenomenal with my coffee! They have wifi if you'd like to sit for a bit and also bakery items available too!! So get a cup of traverse City cherry before I buy it all! Oh they also sell bagged portions of coffee to take home too:)

Amazing coffee, honestly better than any Starbucks. Very nice staff too! Great place for anyone 18+ Had a raspberry frappe blended, and my partner had a chai latte blended.

I stop in here every once in a while. But there is seriously nothing better than Autumn, Amber and Madelyn . They are not only funny and friendly with people they see everyday know their drinks by Heart. But anyone new that walks in they help find them a drink they would like comparable to another coffee shop. Their fun personalities and always smiling faces is the only reason I keep coming back.

First time in and it didn't disappoint. It has a warm and welcoming atmosphere with baristas to match. Sonya was able to help make a hybrid drink for me since I was torn between two options. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!
