Quite disappointed given the large number of reviews. Got cappuccinos and blueberry muffin. Cappuccino was mediocre at best. Just a thick foam of milk on top. Not what I expect from a cafe at all, and I explore a lot of local coffee shops. Muffin was dry and not at all fresh. Honestly inedible and had to throw it in the trash.
The place was okay overall, but there were some major downsides. The tables were dirty, and although the staff was very friendly, the food was disappointing—it seemed like it had been in the fridge for too long, making it taste old and hard. The matcha had no real flavor, and the only non-dairy milk options were soy and oat. The coffee wasn’t bad, but the presentation of everything could use improvement. On a positive note, the bathroom was clean.
What a fabulous coffee place! They have plenty of seating and a very aesthetic decor, even an upper level to sit at! Art for sale too. The coffee was tasty and they have flavored syrups to add. The muffin was super doughy but it was good. ☕️
Super cute stop in the heart of downtown of Scranton, Pennsylvania. I wanted to find a great cup and there was a really good vibe there. I got a maple latte which was on the sweet side, but totally delicious. If you have a moment and want a nice cup of coffee or relax environment it’s a nice stop.
I didn't get any food here, just an americano. Coffee was OK. I was looking for a strong, bold, dark blend, and although my coffee was acceptable, it wasn't quite dark, bold and thick as I am used to. Atmosphere, however was awesome! Nice comfortable place with a great vibe. I had an extended business meeting here, and it was the perfect place for that. Located in the Scranton Life building.
