Came here spontaneously while visiting another restaurant in the area and I only came in to use the bathroom but as soon as I walked in, the vibe was so chill ans inviting!

Extremely comfy garden unit coffee shop. Lots of local art up on the walls and on offer. Seating is a bit limited but is laid out and furnished in a way that feels a bit like a living room. Drinks were very well made and this is the first place that I've seen that has banana milk. Made for a very nice milk alternative with a unique flavor. Definitely will be coming back

They also do a great job at fostering community. I think between them and Kanin there is just a lot of love and investment in community on this block.
