Great cafe for grabbing breakfast or lunch. Awesome environment for working remotely or studying, although busy, usually plenty of space. They have the option next door to rent office space and meeting rooms. Menu posted is out of date, all items are up a few dollars, posting prices as of today.

Great menu and coffee. Modern atmosphere and friendly service. Can't wait to go back and try more food items. The empanadas were amazing. Fresh.

I ordered a latte with gingerbread syrup and gingerbread cold foam on top, I recommend that during the holidays. The quesadilla with sweet potato fries tasted great and the portion size was generous, I was full for the rest of the day after that. The staff is extremely friendly. The temperature in the building is just right. I’ve been twice and both times I was able to find seating. No complaints from me.

Might be my favorite coffee shop in Matthews. Coffee is amazing, nice seating area, breakfast was phenomenal. Fire spot for working as well. Little pricey but definitely worth it.

I love this place. The staff are always friendly, the coffee drinks are tasty, and empanadas are delicious and perfectly cooked. They have a great variety of table sizes for varying group sizes and also some seating outside. It's not as closed in as some other coffee shops but the openness of the space has its own appeal as a well! Will definitely continue going back again and again.

I mean… top notch It was my first time there. I loved their salted caramel mocha hot! I loved the cheese empanada! I wasn’t sure what cheese to expect … but they hit it on the nail. Steak fries… clutch

My cousin and I went here for a late lunch and it was fantastic. My chipotle chicken panini was perfect. Cajun bistro chips and steak fries were amazing. As was the green sauce we were suggested to try by the girl who brought our food. Sweet tea was on point. 10/10 will absolutely return (sorry for the half eaten sandwich pictures lol)
