Wow this place is amazing. There aren’t many cafes out there that go the extra mile to be all organic. I got their Chuck Norris sandwich, which had the best homemade bread and was very tasty. I also got the Earl Gray tea latte with cashew milk, which was smooth, creamy, and the perfect sweetness. The organic chocolate chip cookies were some of the best I’ve ever had. Staff were super nice and courteous. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

I went to this coffee shop for the first time with my best friend. I ordered a honey lavender latte and she ordered an iced matcha. We both got scones, she got lemon I had the raspberry white chocolate. The scone was delicious, one of the best I’ve ever had. My latte was really good, it had a deep lavender taste and was lightly sweetened. If I get the same drink next time I would order it with a little more sweetener and less lavender. But with the sweet scone it all worked. The seating and vibes were very cozy, we chatted for over two hours, it was very chill. They had little gifts you could buy and free flowers to take home. I took a bouquet of peach roses for my mom. Beautiful cafe, I would definitely come here again.

I just tried the Maple Brown Butter Latte with cashew milk and WOW 🙌🏼☺️I wish we lived closer because I’d be in every morning. Also, hands down the best hummus I’ve ever had (so fresh, creamy and full of flavor)!

I just went for the first time and Nancy, one of the owners, greeted me with a smile and sold me from the moment I walked in! It felt like walking into the front door of a good friend’s home. One reason for that is that it’s family owned and run by Nancy and her husband with the help of their kids, so cool! I got the Matcha with their house made cherry vanilla syrup which was a really nice touch! The aesthetic of the space itself is modern without feeling cold and would be great for meeting with a friend or getting work done. I will certainly be back to do both of those things as soon as possible. The Westside of Lansing should know how blessed they are to have this gem of a coffee shop!

I was so impressed by this place! The atmosphere, service, and food was spectacular! It was a heavenly place for friends to gather, and hang out! They offer the most unique gifts too. This is definitely the place I will be taking my kids for lunch dates!!
