We ordered a chai latte, cappuccinos, and ice matcha. I was satisfied with the quality and flavor of the coffee and teas, but I found the attitude of the barista a bit rude. I liked the design and music of the place. The place looked cozy and had a hommy feeling.

SURPRISE! You just landed in the coziest coffee shop (arguably ever). Trust me… the photos don’t do this space justice- you have to feel it… You immediately feel like you’ve walked into someone’s living room, but in the most welcoming way possible. Sometimes cute places miss the mark on the coffee and food BUT, not here. My latte is outstanding and I indulged in some of the homemade baked goods. The owner is the only “employee” AND bakes herself! I am so glad we stumbled upon this gem and look forward to coming back when we visit in the future.

We absolutely loved our visit to this unique coffee shop on a rainy Sunday afternoon. It felt like a beautifully converted small house, offering the inviting atmosphere of a bed and breakfast. The owner was a true highlight; so engaging and genuinely interesting! Our drinks (chai tea, vanilla latte, and Americano) were expertly made, and the homemade treats – a ricotta almond cookie, cinnamon swirl cake, and iced lemon loaf were all fantastic. With ample cozy seating, it's just a lovely place to spend time. We highly recommend it!"

When you go to the historic district of Hendersonville, NC...DO NOT miss this gem of a coffee bar and art venue on 5th Street. The owner makes her own chocolate mix to make the smoothest mochas. Don’t forget to look at the art and choose some delectable eats!

The coffee was delicious. There were a lot of cool art pieces. There was an odor in the shop due to the old carpet. Fun place to visit and great seating options.
