This is a really cool locally run downtown Toms River breakfast / lunch spot! Great eats, Great Coffee, Great Service, and Fine local art! Spacious and perfect for groups and business meetings too. Very chill spot to bring a date to as well. And you can buy the art right off the walls

The atmosphere here is unique because it has almost themed rooms and tables where people can be alone among a hundred other people. It’s very well thought out by an owner who is kind and and welcoming every time you come in. The coffee here is terrific as well. I brought in a guest and a few times for business meetings and THE FOOD is outstanding for a coffee shop. Healthy and natural

In the Toms River area for business and decided to stop by this lovely cafe for hot chocolate on 4/19/19 around 7:40am. Nice roomy interior! The hot chocolate was delicious and the young fella (name on receipt Alphonse) was warm, friendly, and welcoming. This cafe is definitely recommend. Stopping by again while I'm still in town.

Vegan wrap is delicious. Desserts are crazy good, home baked by one of the owners. And the open mic on Tuesdays is so much fun that it's my favorite night of the week.

Went here for an open mic night one day and it was so nice they had it outside and it was an enjoyable experience. The inside of the place it decorated really well and trendy. They use high quality ingredients and have a menu comparable to Starbucks. Everything I had was excellent and well made. This business has love for it's community and it's evident in the atmosphere when your there.
