Great place to come and relax. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks are outstanding. Cute foam art on drinks. Great prices. Challenge the staff, let them pick a drink for you, have an adventure.

Atmosphere is nice. I ordered an English breakfast tea with no modifications. That's one teabag in a 16 Oz cup of hot water. The price? $4.95. The atmosphere is pleasant enough. The lady that took my order seemed rushed and imposed upon. After letting my tea steep 5 minutes it was bitter to the point I didn't want to drink it. I'm sure other hand crafted drinks are lovely here but this one wasn't. The price for tea was also surprising.

The experience at this coffee shop really depends on who the barista is. Some days, you're greeted with a smile and other times you aren't acknowledged. However, when a regular walks in behind you, it’s all smiles and plenty of conversation. I'm not asking for an elaborate greeting, but a simple good morning or any greeting shouldn’t feel forced, especially after I've already said it while waiting for my order to be taken. The taste of the same drink also varies. I genuinely wish the overall experience was more consistent and welcoming. Sometimes it’s pleasant, while other times, it feels like the barista just doesn’t want to be there. I understand that working in the service industry comes with good days, terrible days, and everything in between, but the inconsistency in quality is concerning and I hope it will be improved. Two stars only because the atmosphere is always pleasant. Good place for a quick meetup with friends, brief work meeting, or just getting some work done!

Place was overall just OK. If you are a coffee connoisseur, this is not your place. Look elsewhere. If you like Starbucks, and extra hot coffee, then you'll find this place to suffice. They have an assorted flavors which I was informed by the barista that are made from essential oils. Essential oils in a coffee?? disgusting. And I definitely tasted that essential oil part in mine. The first barista did not seem to know what he was doing and definitely Overheated my milk and scolded it. I had to ask for a remake due to the order itself being incorrect. The second coffee was made by a different barista and he did a decent job. Still a bit overheated. But the worst part was the flavor. Took a few sips and that was enough. The atmosphere was also not super inviting or exciting. Kind of a bit depressing. Leaving a review so that I know not to come back sadly.

First time visiting, I really like the atmosphere and very cool coffee shop in the Lansing area. Decided swing by to grab good coffee before go to work in the morning. Baristas are smiling and make you feels welcome. I chose brown sugar flavor latte and OMG that was most delicious latte ever I have but there are more flavors to try next time I come back. Definitely coming back.
