The coffee, the service the ambience is totally worth it. Loved the interior really worth it to go and enjoy the place. The service was amazing, the barista was very helpful. The seating and location is nice. Price is also affordable. Was skeptical if this place would be too good to be true but that skepticism went away with the first sip of the chai latte. We also tried the mocha and it's totally worth it

First time today. The employees are very welcoming and kind. The atmosphere was peaceful with a vintage theme. I ordered the Roadster Signature Drink which is coconut, caramel, and mocha latte and a white chocolate cranberry scone. Both were delicious. I noticed on my way out they had a Carrot Cake Chai that was listed on the counter and Carrot Cake is my absolute favorite so I ordered that on my way out. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

A beautiful cafe offering yummy concoctions that you definitely shouldn't miss out on! Apart from the visual appeal, which definitely is unique and well decorated, the cafe offers yummy drinks. The staff is sweet, and the coffee the perfect blends! Definitely try their signature drinks, really good selection. Will definitely come again.

Good drip coffee. Spinach artichoke quiche was delicate and very tasty. I would definitely return for food and coffee, and that’s even before considering the atmosphere. This is probably one of the cutest and most unique little cafes I’ve ever seen and it’s worth a visit! Very clean and the staff were super friendly. Highly recommend!

Very cute cafe! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The place was clean. They have variety of coffees, teas, and food. They even have decaf and sugar free options. The only thing I do wish is that they had more options on customizing food. But I got a egg and bacon sandwich and it was delicious! Definitely recommend for anyone who is looking to do some work or hang out on a coffee date.

My daughter and I had breakfast here for the first time this morning. We ordered the rugelach, mojito cookie, chicken burrito, asiago bagel & cream cheese and lattes. First of all this is such a cute place. Very clean and the cars and all the car memorabilia are great. The staff was super nice and very patient as we debated what to get. The coffees were good; my daughter pronounced the rugelach "a Ghirardelli raspberry chocolate square as a pastry" and the mojito cookie was amazing - the lime flavor and moist cookie just melted in my mouth. mouth. Totally will be visiting again.
