Vibe: This is my personal favorite place to visit in the fall. If you are looking for the perfect cozy coffee shop, you've found it. There is a plant shop located in the coffee shop with plenty of seating available to sit and read, finish up work, or chat with friends. On Sundays from 9-12, they serve a coffee flight with their monthly limited flavors. For example, September's flavors were pumpkin banana bread, salted caramel chip, maple almond, and caramel apple matcha. HOW YUM!
