Best coffee shop in town! They have great chai lattes and don’t charge extra for vegan milks. Their empanadas are incredible! We got the breakfast empanada and couldn’t believe how good it was. Line out the door on a Monday before noon, but worth the wait. The inside is bright and airy, but they also have some outdoor seating and an entire coffee garden across the street with trees and flowers (sit here!). Always love stopping at Dart.

Came here with my family and enjoyed some excellent coffee and pastries. I am a home roaster and my kids got excited when they started roasting in the back of the cafe. We went to speak with Dave and he was very friendly and passionate about the coffee they roast. He was even so kind as to share some advice along with a couple gracious samples of his green coffee with me to roast at home. I highly recommend you check them out!

This place is amazing, and now they have another spot at the Harbor. I love their Ethiopian coffee. They roast all of their coffee in house and it is one of the only places I can get amazing coffee that is also organic. If you are hungry they have really good breakfast burritos from Mony’s. They have some fun specialty drinks, I like the Churro Cortado if I want something different.

Great coffee spot in the Funk Zone! The espresso was well made and the service was quick. The croissants were so fresh, we got the plain and pain au chocolat. Highly recommend for a morning coffee!

Delicious latte with a smooth, creamy foam. The coffee is aromatic, rich, and perfectly balanced in flavor. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Friendly staff, cute location, delicious coffee and pastries. Got the June Bug Lavender latte because I saw it was recommended in the reviews. It was really good. Also got the glazed donut. It was perfect. The cinnamon roll was good but alittle crispy for our tastes. Prefer a moisture cinnamon roll. We’ll be back!

Very nice workers and great garden! Cold brew was a little acidic for personal preference but lavender latte was amazing. Croissant and coffee cake were perfect as well. We came early in the morning and there was no line up, but as we left the line was quite long.
