There is a three story play structure for the child in all of us, a full size indoor soccer field, free Wi-​Fi, a conference room that meets all your technology needs, and an indoor — outdoor fire place to just sit back and relax with a fresh pour over as you admire local artists work hanging form the walls or there voices echo from our stage.

Our hope is that this unique and unmatched community atmosphere will not only supply an excellent coffee house but stress the importance of giving to those in need.
