Reviews of the coffee shop are mostly positive — customers love the relaxing atmosphere, families, excellent coffee, and service. The food also has its own following, with many enjoying the healthy breakfast options like chia oat puddings. Families and chill, regular customers give the place a feeling of a community hub. Several mentions of the baristas’ friendliness and professionalism make the coffee shop seem welcoming. The review detailing the taste of the famous Nola Iced Coffee was quite detailed and used great imagery. The Nola Iced Coffee changes a boring latte into a fancy treat and almost gives it personality. McDonough adds that the Nola is the reason they come back as often as they do. Customers also described the food menu as “snackish” with nothing much. However, they termed the food as “replicating the perfect” every time they came back. Another customer noted that they were struggling to recreate the chia oat pudding they had “cravingly” devoured previously. Their foodie friend reviewed the spot as its breakfast offered easy, readily available breakfast with a strong health buzz. That said, the chia oat pudding review makes this spot a must-try for anyone seeking balanced nutrition. Customers agreed that the whole experience was too good to and could not be missing, which was also a reason they kept coming back. The customer reviews are slightly skewed to the great food mostly saying that the energy in the spot, especially when full, made you feel like you were having coffee at a family event. Its customers are bonded by the slightly high prices but mostly chilled out and appreciate a good, casual foodie moment. It is almost perfect here when jamming with yourself as you sip your latte for slightly over the average price. The serene environment and fantastic devours help it stand at 4.4 stars.
