The cafe was decorated beautifully for Christmas, they even have a small Photo Booth. I loved the vibes. The drinks were amazing, I can’t speak on the food since I haven’t tried it yet. The lavender white mocha was amazing for my late night stroll at Woodward park! Happy holidays everyone !

Excellent coffee and a great atmosphere! I was pleasantly surprised by the lavender latte with an extra shot of espresso; I'm not usually a fan of lavender, but this one is truly delicious and a must-have. Beyond the great coffee, the staff is welcoming, and the cafe is perfect for families. My kids really enjoy the little games, and today, my husband and daughter had a blast with the new photobooth—they even sent me the picture!
