Crema's Take
“The espresso here draws genuine praise for consistency and quality, but with only 7 reviews on record, that's a thin foundation to build on. Several customers have flagged ordering complications (confusion over drink sizes and pricing) and concerning lapses around allergen safety—one reviewer's dairy-free request was ignored, with an unexpected flavoring added instead. If you're after straightforward, well-pulled shots in a convenient location inside the Code building, it might work, but the warning signs around accuracy and special requests suggest going in with low expectations.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. Slow-sit spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Located inside the Code building it's very convenient for those that work inside the building, and it often has a much shorter wait than the main Mudhouse just across the street. Traditional coffee, espresso, etc, along with very minimal snacks. Espresso was up to Mudhouse…
