Absolutely wonderful little art space and cafe! So much local talent and high quality delicious coffee! Can’t recommend this place enough.
I have been searching for a chill third space for what feels like forever and I def found it here. The atmosphere is down-to-earth, welcoming and diverse. The art corner there has a ton of cool stuff like horror sculptures, blacksmithing stuff, zines, jewelry, clothing, gorgeous art prints, etc. There's also coffee... oughhh how could you go wrong with coffee.. and I gotta say, I am a coffee snob but this coffee is my go-to for the area. The coffee station has milk (vegan options, too!), flavored syrups, etc... they also have tea if you prefer that, too. A cherry on top is, they also have concerts (lots of metal, punk, rock, etc. - a little of everything!), workshops, and open mic on Mondays (best thing to do every Monday - I cannot speak highly enough of their open mics, I look forward to them every week). Ya know.. just take a moment now and put it in your calendar to visit the studio next time you're in the area. It's worth the trip out!
Love the vision, love the service, love the crew. Overall amazing experience please check these folks out!
The BEST coffee and local art in the NEPA area!
This is a great local artists gallery inside Union Vapors 570. They have a donation based coffee bar where you can make a cup of locally roasted coffee. I picked up a bag of the coffee because I liked it so much. They had a few different blends to choose from and the staff was super friendly and helpful. For almost the same cost of a Venti down the hill, I had a freshly brewed cup and a bag of coffee to take home. Definitely grabbing more next time im down that way.
