Reviews
- growing_dill_seedCame here with a friend and honestly the vibe was so cozy. The decor is super cute and warm, and upstairs they had Stranger Things stuff everywhere which was such a fun touch, felt like you were actually in the show. Got a marshmallow coffee which was really unique, sweet but not too heavy. Also tried one of the imported craft beers, super refreshing, and paired it with one of their little cakes which was the perfect combo. Music was chill, lighting was soft, and we just sat and chatted forever, felt really relaxing. Also super photogenic if that's your thing.
