Not only do they have sensory toys for children and special needs individuals, the coffee and tea are amazing. The staff are always friendly and charming, and the drinks are decently priced. Highly recommended.

A great neighborhood coffee shop serving up great drinks and delicious food. First off, the staff here is fantastic. They’re so friendly and welcoming and just genuinely nice folks. They’re attentive, eager to suggest some options, and really care. The decor is cozy and classic, full of brick, wood, and green accents that make it easy to sink in here. There’s art from local artisans that’s available to purchase which is a great way to support the community and add a nice extra offering. It was a hot day so I went for an iced green tea which was perfectly brewed. There’s an extensive menu and everything sounded amazing. I went for a T-bird breakfast burrito/wrap which was done really well with super fresh ingredients. Absolutely coming back here to spend some more time and try out some more of their options.

Soul brew #1 for me, introduced by a friend whose owns and operates out of the same town. The spot is small but the food and coffee is off the chain! Highly recommended this place. Customer service was excellent. This is now a new place; under new management! No longer soul brew but I went last weekend and it was still delicious coffee!

Convenient, quality coffee shop. I came in here on my day off 2 weeks ago to order an iced coffee with amaretto syrup. It was delicious. 😋 I was pleasantly surprised by how many different syrup flavors they had for coffee on their menu, which the girl working there politely gave me. Definitely recommend for coffee, especially if you value spending your money at local coffee shops.

This is by far the best coffee shop in Huntington Village. The staff are always friendly and on-point with that they do. The drinks are well-crafted, tasty, and creative. What continually surprises me the most about this spot is how good the food is, from the breakfast to the lunch to the baked goods. Plus, the decor is great. The ambiance is great for both a quiet workplace and a meeting spot with friends. So glad to see it thriving :)

Great coffee, huge tea selection, incredible breakfast, wonderful atmosphere, and even better service. There's something for everyone with an expansive menu for such a small cafe and the two people working were polite, helpful, and great to talk to. The Special Cup is a must-see if you love flavored lattes. A lot of places you'll be lucky if they do anything more than add too much or too little syrup for whatever the seasonal flavor is. The Special Cup had exhaustive list of options, including creative recommendations from staff like banana toffee nut with marshmallow cold foam. My friend got the Americano (good) and huevos rancheros (also good). I got the apple cider donut latte. Apple cinnamon and cookie butter sounds like it would be overwhelmingly sweet but the coffee was strong without being too bitter and the flavors were well balanced with it My cranberry orange scone was pleasantly flavored with a good amount of cranberries. It might benefit from being warmed up but I'll take a slightly dry scone over one that tastes like a flavorless day-old biscuit, and I've had too many like that. The star of the show was the "killer tofu" sandwich. The perfect amount of tofu, roasted red peppers, spinach, tomato, and pesto on a seeded multigrain bread that didn't get too soggy (thanks to the great texture) and wasn't dry or bland. I had intended on saving it for lunch but I decided to try it while it was warm and devoured it. And one of my favorite elements: a lot of charm. The charm and character of the building's original construction in the early 1900s is still evident, albeit with some modern updates. There's a lot of warm lighting with hanging lights and faux old-fashioned lightbulbs, to say nothing of the beautiful painting and decor by local artists. I wish I lived closer, there's so many things on the menu I want to try

The Special Cup is AMAZING!! I get a speciality latte from here every Monday and I’m ADDICTED!! The food is excellent for your Sunday brunch spot—whole, fresh, and tasty! The service is truly the best. The staff is so nice and accommodating, they make sure you have everything you’re looking for, and the owners are so sweet! The atmosphere is everything you’re hoping for with laid back vibes, art, vibey music, and very homey. I will be coming back for more Sunday brunches for sure!

I go here basically weekly. It is one of the most welcoming coffee shops I have ever been to! From the art on the walls to the conversation with new people each time! It’s genuinely a wonderful spot to sit and eat. My favorite!!! I try to have every drink on the menu and I can say everything I have had so far is amazing! I’ll be back again so soon!

Just stopped by for a quick coffee break. Cappuccino and the almond cake was delicious. Hubby had raspberry crumb cake, equally delicious. Music mix eclectic and the vibe is super chill. Will definitely return.
