    This is an excellent choice for a special event, or if you are feeling like indulging in a fancy cocktail! The velvet chairs and gold hardware is such a vibe. Food is great, everything is very well done and ingredients are excellent. The cocktails are pricey but they are good and served artfully in fabulous glassware. Highly recommend for a small group of people, it is not a large space. Service is wonderful.

    This was an awesome experience! The server was great at explaining each drink. I love how unique each one was - unlike any coffee drinks I’d had before! Also, ending with the ice cream and churros was a really fun option :) I liked that they do have an option for decaf as well for people who maybe having a lower caffeine tolerance. A great experience overall!
