Just threw my brothers surprise 30th birthday party here tonight and I’m so happy to have had this place recommended to us! From how easy going and kind the owner was when a friend had reached out for scheduling, to the drinks everyone was absolutely raving about all night - I couldn’t be any more stoked about this place. The bartender definitely had her work cut out for her but she held it down, made some killer drinks, and still managed to have a smile for every customer she served. The place is unique, clean, beautifully decorated, and just generally unlike any other coffee shop or bar in the city.

Coffee shop/cafe that also incorporates a barber shop and tatoo parlour. Hipster place in an urban pioneer neighborhood — very nice. Excellent coffee and service. Even an old Boomer like myself can appreciate its appeal! Industrial vibe with polished concrete floors, indoor and outdoor seating. Physically handicapped accessible. Parking lot in front of the cafe.

The vibes and ambience in this place are great. I love bringing my friends here to chat over a cup of coffee, or even get some work done. Staff are always nice, and the selection of drinks is pretty good. Prices are great as well. Would recommend.

Love that there is plenty of different seating, including outdoor tables with umbrellas which is rare to find in Worcester. Bold coffee, friendly staff, neat decor especially in the bathroom. Also, there is a busy barber here. You can sip coffee while waiting for a hot shave. At first I went to the wrong door. It’s off a side street and there is decent parking. Good WiFi. Visit!

I learned about this place through my tattoo artist, Maks. I FINALLY stopped in and I am glad I did. This place is calming and my kind of style. The blueberry muffins were so moist and filling. I tried the iced honey latte and that was a treat as well. I plan to come back to try their other latte flavors and check out their bar with vendors. Great community collaborative. I appreciated the patience and kindness of the staff on my Saturday morning - they explained everything well and how stuff works there.

Interesting coffee shop. The coffee and selection is great as well as the people that work there. The decor is where it is different from almost any other coffee shop you have been to. Limited seating but there were not too many people there when we went, so that was not a problem. At the same location there is a barber shop off the shop and a motorcycle shop that you can look on as you sip your coffee. If you are looking for a great coffee and different environment to drink it in, this is the place.

There aren't many cozy cafes in Worcester, so coming here it was very refreshing. We used to live in Boston! Once we got to the cafe, we were greeted warmly from the cashier/barista. The place is a whole vibe--pretty hipster, but in a great way. There's a barber shop in it, which is funny. There was also a good amount of people sprawled throughout the cafe on their laptops working away. Outside also has a nice patio. We sat here and sipped our coffees, as the warm morning sun helped wake us up. My fiance and I ordered two small iced americanos, $3.48 each. It has a tinge of sourness, but having added more water, it wasn't too strong. Maybe we will try asking for less water next time or even a quad shot! There were muffins for sale, not too many options. I don’t care though, because my main point was coffee! We will absolutely be returning for more--possibly even to work!

Terrific coffee shop! My Americano was delicious. The decor is delightful! Service is very good! Several other shops coexist with the coffee shop (barber shop/tattoo parlor).
