This cafe opened in the beginning of August. It serves organic coffee and tea as well as vegan and gluten-free pastry options, although there are other pastry foods for the non-vegan and gluten-eating demographic.

The owners of this coffee shop hope to open their place sometime this August. Coffee, tea, and pastries will be served. The owners plan to rotate their coffee roasters approximately every month in order to showcase the diversity of types of coffees in the world. An expansion of food options is in the mix. The coffee shop will provide WiFi and plans to host the works of local artists.
