    Perfect

    The food and the coffee are absolutely amazing. If I had to pick one dish as a favorite, I'd choose the pork and leak dumplings.

    Amazing Chinese food and coffee!

    Don't let appearances deceive you, this small place is a gem! They have siphoned coffee and it's neat to watch it be made. Be sure to try their house blend. Their general tso's chicken and hot and sour soup were the best I've ever had....More

    Small but very interesting and good

    Have a cup of Jamaican Blue Mt. Choice brewed in the most unconventional ways with the black bean chicken and you will not be disappointed. Also a unique variety of green teas and fantastic cookies.

    this place is small but clean. the iced coffee is amazing. the little Italian cookie with it can be skipped as with the cellophane wrapped, purchased pastries. we saw them making dumplings and wish we could have stayed to eat.

    Good cooking, low key, great selection of coffee and tea
