This place is great! There are plenty of coffee shops in Winston-Salem, but I havent found one that matches the atmosphere here. Its a great place to get some studying done or read a book, and as a vegan I can say that this is the best place to get vegan sweets. The people here are so nice and the art is great!

Nice new coffeeshop opened in downtown Winston Salem (close to Wake Forest school of medicine). I love that they’re pet friendly and their lavender oat milk latte is awesome. I saw couple of gluten free options but I haven’t tried anything yet. Service was super warm, welcome and friendly .

Great location to grab some coffee following an F3 nation.com mens free peer lead boot camp. Check F3WinstonSalem.com for local schedules.

Excellent coffee in snazzy setting. Enjoyed my lemon gelato too. So tart and refreshing. Muffins and other goodies looked tasty. When the friendly staff told me they were entirely vegan and allowed dogs, I had to pinch myself that I wasnt dreaming. It really felt surreal. Will definitely be back often. (Half and half available for the coffee.) Highly recommended.

Nice new ☕ coffee spot in the Innovation Quarter. They have muffins, pastries, 🍪 cookies, and coffee drinks. You can also find great espresso drinks like lattes and cappuccinos. The staff are friendly and they roast their own beans at their other location in Greensboro. Limited seating inside but the do have ♿ handicap accessible parking, restrooms, and tables.

Decent coffee. I’ve visited multiple times over the last few months and spent time inside (~ 2 hrs) only once. Rated poorly as I’ve witnessed differential treatment of customers, myself included, by a white, female Barista. I thought it was a fluke, which is why I’ve visited more than once, but I see there’s something more here that should be looked into by Mgmt & owners.Specifically, there was a stark difference in how she spoke to me & other POC (people of color) who ordered compared to other customers. It’s the palpable yet unspoken feeling that you get when something more is at play and is negatively impacting the interaction. Many times this results in silence, minimal speech, or behavioral slights (whether intentional or unintentional) from an individual who is either unaware or aware of but has not intentionally worked on, minimizing their biases. So from my vantage point & experience, service is poor/minimal for some and much better for others. At best, I’d describe this space as tolerant but not welcoming of people of color.To remedy, management should encourage this employee to examine her personal biases and how they show up in her work on the job. A blanket solution is not suggested, but a direct intervention specifically for this individual and anyone who is seen displaying similar behavior in the future.Wish we could all do better. Let’s hold each other accountable. My 2 cents.

Went this past Saturday and I was welcomed by a very friendly server! Nice music and quaint atmosphere. Coffee and Green Matcha was very good! When I returned later for a smoothie, she welcomed me to invite my sister with her dog inside, as they are a dog friendly place. She offered a Puppuccino for the dog. I will visit again!

I like the coffee and the fruit base drinks are good. But It does not feel like super welcoming place.

Very cute place + conveniently located! I loved the environment + space. It was pretty average coffee + pretty average experience. I got a chai tea and it did not necessarily taste like a normal chai. I think too much syrup was added. I would consider trying it again but I would not order the chai.

Good coffee. Good service. Drink offerings are unique and inventive. They have locally made kambucha on tap which I thought was cool.

Great place for all vegan baked goods and some gluten free goodies. Try the Dreamy Lemon cookies. Or the chocolate cake with chocolate “butter” cream icing. You’ll never know they’re vegan!!

Cute atmosphere in downtown Winston-Salem. prices were a bit higher than other coffee shops I have been to. They didn’t really have music playing but maybe that’s because it was a monday? however the ginger cookie latte was just what i needed to celebrate christmas in july 🎄

My wife and I have been several times. They have a cool aesthetic with very high ceilings, warm colors on the wall, and an impressive mural. The drinks come quickly and are delicious. VERY pet-friendly and congenial staff. While its a bit of a drive from Kernersville, its always worth it since they are open late and dont seem to mind if you stay a little past closing time. Its a great place to get warm, enjoy conversation with new folks, and study...which I do a lot of while Im there.

A very awesome space! I went here after my Paramedic class in King about two days ago. I was able to sit down and study some. Of all the coffee/lounge spaces downtown; for me, this is it.

I was visiting the bike store next door and stumbled upon these guys. Cool vibe coffee shop. The drink was delish. Also tried a chocolate chip banana muffin. It was top shelf delish. Can’t wait to go back.

Visited opening night, was served very bad beverages (Whole Milk Latte and Almond Milk latte) by baristas who were not wearing masks per COVID-19 protocol. I DMed their Instagram in an attempt to resolve my dissatisfaction privately, but I was shrugged off. I was hoping to support this local coffee shop but unfortunately I cannot.
