I love this place! The drinks and cookies are already great, but the vibes of the place as well as the friendliness and approachability of the staff just top it off!

Great service! The red currant ice tea needs to be bottled so I can buy it in bulk!!! Love the avo toast too - so delish!

Great coffee place! They make an awesome cappuccino and their desserts - especially the chocolate cookie - are all very good.

decent coffee. nice staff. clean space. nothing special. did not know where they roasted the coffee. quick, simple, easy, enjoyable.

What a great find this place was. I love good coffee and I'm not a fan of the chain coffee spots. This coffee shop was cute and so clean and the espresso was great. My daughter has celiac and was so excited to see 3 difference choices for baked goods. The staff is so friendly and we can't wait to go back.

Had a lovely cold brew with vanilla Bean Syrup and a touch of cream. The service was efficient and understanding. Love the aesthetic of the place! Free parking lot in the back and parking on the street. It's a great stop if you are in the area. They also have free Wi-Fi. The cold brew has a mocha flavor and isn't acidic. Medium roast. I liked it a lot.

A really nice, aesthetically pleasing coffee shop in downtown Scotch Plains. Upon arrival, the ambience didn't feel very warm and welcoming. I didn't feel like the baristas were very friendly. I ordered a small iced dirty chai latte and thought it was a bit pricey but tasted pretty good. I sat inside at one of their tables and a charger was easily accessible as I was getting work done. The outside seating came in handy because it got very busy and customers were often looking for an open seat. During the morning hours the coffee shop was very loud with people gathering to chat and interviews going on but it got quieter around 12/1 pm. I'll stop in again to try more items soon, thank you for the chai!

This independently owned cafe is in the heart of scotch plains downtown and serves one of the finest coffee in NJ. We had the pleasure of grabbing a few cuppas and snacks on a lazy afternoon. You can easily park street side either in front or the back side of the cafe. They have ample indoor and outdoor dining space, and social distancing norms and protocols are followed rigorously. Indoor are aesthetic and the vibe is pretty cool. If you want to work out of the cafe they have a designated area that is quiet. We were pleasantly greeted by the barista as we seek her advise on what are some of the featured drinks. We usually do our research before and were interested in lavender latte and vanilla bean latte. As far the food was concerned the avo toast is a must have along with the spinach and feta croissant. At this point we should just rank avocado toasts in and around central jersey. We ended up getting the vanilla bean latte, lavender latte and the nolita nectar. They have all milk options- from oat to almond. Vanilla bean latte made with home made vanilla syrup is a winner! It needs no sugar as the homemade vanilla syrup spread its magic. The nolita nectar is the cold brew that you would fall in love with. It has a hint of ginger along with peach and on top some bubbly! They have plenty of bottled drinks and treats for kids that will keep them busy. Ours loved their chocolate chunk cookie! We didn't get to try the waffle shots, however thats for our next trip ;-)

I like the honey drop hot coffee over the mocha. Honey drop is not too sweet and the cinnamon spice does not take over the aroma of the Italian roast coffee. In contrast with the mocha coffee, The chocolate flavor is stronger in coffee so I almost couldn't taste the coffee in it. Overall, it's worth the trip. Taste a lot better and less sweet compared to starbucks
