The chai tea latte is supreme! I tried it on it’s debut night while enjoying the Leaf’s game with friends. They have been improving the atmosphere and making the space more cozy.

Amazing place. Friendly staff who really know their craft. 100% recommended. Asked for something outside of the menu and they were super easy and accommodating. The kind of local business we are all happy to support! Bonus points for serving in real cups and not paper cups. Makes the coffee taste way better.

Cozy atmosphere, tasty snacks, friendly staff and delicious coffee- what more could you want! Espresso is perfectly dialled in - using locally sourced beans. Perfect if you’re coming into climb or even if you’re not! You can still come in to hang out and get a delicious drink/snack :)
