I could sing my praises of this cafe all day. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by a welcoming atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful, there's tons of options for drinks, and there's always an event going on. Making this a great place to socialize. I am also appreciative of how they support artists with all the paintings they have for sale around the cafe, as well as the "Watts Comics" area they have to support author's by selling their books.

Their coffee is sublime and customer service feels more akin to family than a staff. It's such a great contrast to the speed that's usually emphasized on a daily basis.

They haven't even had the grand opening yet and they are already killing it... Absolutely amazing! The whole crew has put all of themselves into this bussiness and are so passionate, and it shows. Not only is this place a community staple, full of love and fun events, but the food and drinks ABSOLUTELY SLAP!!! The sweet treats are a must-have and I love the coffee! I love the lavender latte, and the black raspberry mocha, and the homemade cinnamon buns the most! I love this crew so much ♡ Congratulations to them! Make sure to check them out and to come to open mic Wednesdays! More fun events can be found on their Instagram page!

Cool little coffee shop. Almost everything here is vegan (their white chocolate mocha sauce apparently has a little dairy). Interior is well decorated and there’s some cool artwork and comics. Very artsy and unabashed in its views, which may be a pro or con depending on who you are.

The crème brûlée latte, cinnamon apple oats, and cheesy garlic rolls are to DIE for!! I’m not even a local to Fredericksburg, but gave this place a try one day while at work because I wanted to support a small business. I will never go back to Starbucks again!

Ordered via DoorDash. This was my first time getting anything here. Officially considered the BEST COFFEE IN THE BURG in my opinion. After absolutely falling in love with my snickerdoodle latte I looked up the place to see the interior is the cutest! Now I HAVE to go in person, and I’m super excited !

I enjoyed this coffee shop. Super cool they have open mic nights and have local art on the walls that you can purchase. They have different flavors of coffee, I got a pistachio latte. First pistachio latte I’ve ever had and it was pretty good! Nice vibe and fun atmosphere!

We stopped in randomly just to check it out and its now our new coffee spot. The late we had was so good. We also got our five year old one of their vegan chocolate chip cookies which was also amazing. The space is well designed with tons of great local artists work and there also seems to be an open mic area in the back. Will definitely be coming back.

Went in after voting and got a delicious lemon tart Arnold Palmer iced tea. The barist was super nice and very helpful. The shop is also filled with a bunch of local art for sale, which I loved. They have so many specialty drinks that I'll have to come back and try them all!
