This was the cutest coffee shop! Food was great and drinks were so good! If I am ever in this area this will always be a planned stop!

The atmosphere is very cool. Great coffee, good beer selection and lots of nooks inside and out.

There's covered and uncovered patio space live music every once in a while.

Lately I've been going for the painting classes with Liz Martinez from Sorry not Sorry cards. She's a blast, a very good teacher and just loads of positive re-enforcement. It was almost as good as going to my therapist! Felt like a million bucks afterwards!

New favorite coffee shop!! Love the vibes inside, and the 2 baristas were friendly and professional. Made me one of the best lattes I've had in a while, and my wife an amazing mango smoothie. We will definitely be back!!

Stopped here on the way back to Houston after a weekend away, and we were so happy we did! The staff was super friendly and made our coffee just the way we liked it. The atmosphere was fun and gothic and the food was great too. Options for indoor and outdoor seating, great prices and plenty of parking. Would love to come back next time we are in the area!

We had a mediocre experience the first time we came here with the service of the staff. I came back today to give them another try, thinking everyone can have a bad day. The experience this second time was the worst customer experience I’ve had with any business in many years. The young lady was pleasant, however, the young man behind the counter, was very rude for no reason.
Other coffee establishments in San Marcos, are so much more pleasant, friendly, have much better coffee, and actually seem to enjoy what they do, and seem to appreciate their customers. We won’t ever come back or recommend this business.

The coffee is great, especially the cold brew. I gave this review 3 stars due to one employee that makes coming here unpleasant. On multiple occasions, I’ve heard her talking negatively about customers and generally being hateful. She states loudly that she enjoys upsetting customers and that it’s funny to her. She’s been directly rude to me as well. I used to like hanging out after getting coffee, but she just ruins the experience.

What an amazing local place! The vibe is absolutely perfect, the baristas are so welcoming and friendly and the food and beverage options are incredible!
I love that I was able to get a great craft beer to accompany my white chocolate blueberry lavender scone! White chocolate mocha and Chai were also both amazing as were the blueberry scone and pumpkin cake pop!
The walls are adorned with some fantastic local art and there's jewelry, soaps and snacks for sale from local artisans!
Now to find a way to relocate or replicate this place to my home town!
