Stopped in for a little bit of studying during the afternoon and this was the perfect spot. It was quiet, the food & drink was wonderful, and overall very cute and cosy vibes. Will be coming back!

Went here last week during my day off. I've always wanted to go here ever since but just couldn't find the time to do so. The spinach feta croissant was so good and freshly baked and the Honey Oat Latte was superb! The staff/owners were really nice and friendly. The place was so cozy I could stay there for hours and just read a book. Will be back here for sure

We got some americanos and enjoyed the Turkish Flatbread and Breakfast Pocket. The portions were generous, and the freshness of the ingredients really stood out! The Turkish Flatbread featured flavorful ground meat complemented by the distinct tastes of queso fresco and kale. I appreciated that they cut the meal in half for easy sharing The Breakfast Pocket was equally satisfying, with soft and juicy steamed eggs that made for a comforting bite. I also want to commend the barista, who was handling both food and drinks on his own that morning. He managed everything efficiently, contributing to the cafe's cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, I recommend this spot for anyone looking for a hearty and enjoyable breakfast experience!

I always stop here on my break, as I've been working in the area the last few months. I'm celiac; have never had an issue with the GF treats, and I'm addicted to the lemon squares :p. There's worse addictions, i guess. Great coffee, also. To the guests who leave a negative review on the service; The owner has always been prompt and courteous to me, and to every other guest I've seen in there. I worked over 2 decades in this industry, and I'm not so entitled to expect what this culture demands out of service industry staff. You want a fake smile and someone to pretend to care, go spend 300 on a fine-dining dinner. Attitude is or ignoring you is one thing, but this is not the case here. Seriously, go work in a cafe/restaurant for a year or 2 straight and see how you do. Please, check your privilege.

After driving by this location many times, we stopped in for an afternoon coffee. What a great little coffee shop in Inglewood. I don’t often order an Americano, as most places tend to make them “watery”. I had and Americano here and it was very well made, as robust as one might get it Italy. Along side a delicious lavender shortbread, it made for a nice break. My wife had a London fog, made with oat milk and a lemon square that was very tasty. The interior is bright and airy with lots of big windows and a roll-up door that would be great in summer. They have a shelf with books and board games to entertain guest, should the want. There’s patio space and as the day was warmer for winter, there was a fire burning and people were using the patio for their visit. I can imagine it would be great to sit out there in the summers. Highly recommend.

Awesome cozy place for a refreshing drink on a hot summer day or a warm cup on a rainy one. Barista is fantastic! My top pick is the Vietnamese latte - hands down the best I’ve ever had so far. This place is a perfect example of how small client oriented local business should be. Thank you! Will be back soon

Good News pleasantly surprised me. This little corner coffee stop was stocked with good quality coffee and a unique food menu in a sunlit atmosphere that perfectly represents what a corner coffee shop should be. It’s quaint but classy and tranquil. There was a ton of natural light and good corners to enjoy it in. Also the halloumi bites slapped. It’s incredibly refreshing to see a coffee shop with a menu that’s not just your standard sandwiches list. Will go back 10/10.
