The best matcha latte I’ve had. Great friendly customer service, it’s very cozy. I also love the cups! Also the waterfront location it is on is so peaceful and quaint?

This is the best coffee shop in town! It’s owner operated and they really up-level the coffee experience. The customer service is incredible.

They coffee is great, there’s amazing mushroom drinks and their small batch made in-house plant-based milks are truly the best I’ve ever had! There are many wonderful flavors, my personal fav is the Choco. You can sample them all to see what you like best. You can even order these lovely milks and have them delivered to you.

Another amazing detail is the incredible water filtration that they do for all their drinks. I don’t know anywhere that does this and it’s so next level! I also really appreciate that they don’t use any single use to-go cups. They’ve really thought of every little detail and have so much integrity.

This location is also so sweet! There’s just a few indoor seats and there’s tables outside but they’re located right on a public garden area on the SW riverfront.

This is just the perfect spot to slow down and have a great drink while you sit or stroll around the garden or a walk next to the river.

It’s really just the best place in town️

Good for your soul! Walked in to ask for an Americano with Oatmilk. I walked out with so much more️My Aloha to the barista with brand new twins.
Mahalo for sharing your deliciously crafted milk and cacao drinks

Don’t be too friendly even if you’re old and gray, owner will think you’re hitting on him or something. Love the place but feels awkward for me to go there now.

A great little organic coffee with plant-based milk Cafe! This place generates very little waste.

In fact you might just like the plant-based milks on their own as they're pretty darn amazing. They are a mixture of many SuperFood raw ingredients. Complex flavors that leave you wanting more.

The owner also uses extremely clean pure filtered water which is a rarity in cafes.

It has a very intimate and interesting location near by the water and lush gardens. There's plenty of parking in the parking garage across the street.

Support local hip and aware business and have an amazing beverage!

Great experience! Not only did I get to learn about the milk, that is hand crafted by rodgelio, but I had the chance to enjoy some good joe with friends. Definitely swing in and grab some fresh local goodness

This shop is the bees knees! I stopped in hoping to just grab a coffee to-go and instead was reminded that i was not in a rush and was on vacation and could sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee in the park. I also got to meet the most interesting man in the world and his homemade plant milks that were incredible and made the latte extra smooth. I wish this family would move to queens so i could go there every day

This place is so rad, I have no idea how this guy thinks of his mylk concoctions, but their all really unique and taste great. It comes off feeling a lot like witchcraft in a way. Definitely not for everybody, but the perfect place for the right crowd.

Hang on! NOT A STANDARD CAFE!

So, wholly plant based. Greeeat coffee! My experience was, a sampling of house made plant-based milks (spirulina cashew milk, a horchata with Lions Mane etc). Plan to sit and sip. This is a patient process. All in all, I got in, had a sampling of the house made milks, and got a great Horchata Lions Mane latte that was toothsome, and delicious.

All in all, FULLY recommend this place for small group of 1-3. There’s a communal city restroom just behind the storefront.

Fully recommend this, but don’t expect this to be like a 40# or a Starbucks etc

This place is the most amazing spot. The owner is incredible. All organic and home made milks. Plant based. Plan to spend time here to get the full version experience! My son found it by chance and brought me the next day.

Such a cool experience. We were the only folks there so we got to sample some mylks and hear the shop's story and philosophy from the owner. Definitely worth a visit if you're into whole foods and have some time to spend too get the full experience

Great place to stop by and enjoy drinks and food that has a lot of thought put into it. Latinx-owned. Organic. Plant-based/vegan. No waste. Unique. Highly recommend!

The owner really loves what he does. Was not expecting a made to order and slow coffee shop that really facilitated conversation among the patrons while waiting for the coffee to be ready. Very good lattes and made to order sweet organic vegan milk. Prices were lower than I was expecting, organic coffee with company and conversation that is hard to beat. Make time in your schedule to come here, but don't try to squeeze it in between meetings.

This place is run by the most interesting and friendly family and they make their own milk products for their coffee. We loved it. Highly recommended.

If you haven't been here, you should definitely go. This experience was so different from literally any experience I've had in terms of cafes. First of all, customer service was wonderful. Secondly, the owner has an obvious passion for his work. Small indoor setting with an outdoor garden-like area to walk around or sit. When ordering, I recommend letting the owner walk you through his selections and explain his processes, because it's pretty awesome, and I feel like this component really made our time there so much better.

Come in for the conversation you will not regret it! The milk options are made there and the coffee is excellent. No take away cups so bring your own or sit and relax.

This is my favorite coffee place in town. The owners are dedicated and hard working (8’ honestly surprised I hadn’t made a review already). I love the green milk and horchata milk with mushroom based coffee, Cold. The way this place flows is beautiful. They make their drinks with love.

You can see that the owner is very enthusiastic in making coffee, he has his unique milk, which is really delicious. But honestly with coffee it gets weird. I don't really like the taste. But the atmosphere of the boss is very good, he customizes the taste you like, he chats with you, and he uses his enthusiasm in making coffee. He can satisfy the needs to make you a cup of coffee you want. I would like to recommend this coffee shop for this reason.
