Wow, still reading? You’re our kind of people.

First things first: We will have incredible, locally roasted coffee and ceremonial grade matcha made by experienced baristas. No compromises. 

But we’re also going to have really tasty food that takes you back to when you were a kid – in a good way. That includes gluten-free and vegan options, as well as allergy-friendly packaged snacks.
