Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes — if you want something playful and low-pressure. It’s more of a casual café hangout than a formal date spot.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — it’s counter-service with open seating. During busy times, you may need to wait briefly for a table to open.
Is it kid-friendly? The space itself is family-friendly, but infused items are clearly marked and intended for adults. Best suited for adult visits or families sticking strictly to non-infused menu items.
Best For
Better for: Infused treats, colorful drinks, and a fun, novelty café experience you won’t find at a standard bakery.
Skip if: You want traditional pastries without any cannabis association, a large savory menu, or very quiet study-style café vibes.
