Love this place. This is our go to in OB. My wife and I have been coming here for years. Whether it's dropping to get a quick caffeine fix or to hang out and catch up, this place is our jam. The drinks are all coffee forward and they use nothing but the highest quality ingredients. Gladys, the owner, is one of the best, she's been doing it for years and takes a ton of pride in her coffee. Every beverage has been thoughtfully crafted and intentionally made, moreover the Arabian/Latin influence of the drinks is superb. Personally recommend the Mayan Mocha (with hints of Cayenne), the Arabian Mocha (infused with Cardamom) even the sweet drinks are lighter on the sweet. We have a young daughter and she loves going there to see the owner and baristas she'll sit and talk to them for hours during slow times. The ambiance is cool, hints of culture throughout with that neighborhood coffee vibe. They're a staple in the OB/PL area. Don't miss it!

Either brewed, cold brew, or any of the craft lattes they make it has all been phenomenal. I’ll even stock up on their fresh roasted beans for the home coffee station, and when I travel one of the first stops I make when packing is here to get a bag for the road. And not to miss out the service is genuinely real, and amazing. Such kind, loving and wonderful people that make you feel welcomed.
