My daughter an I have visited a couple of times. Love the atmosphere. Its great being able to watch my daughter play any instrument. The owner is very friendly.
This place is priced to just have you come in and share your time. This place is more about the experience of being human. Sounds odd but mission accomplished!Think of it like a relaxation area at silicon Valley, start-up - in the best way possible.
Wonderful place for musicians, they can record you while you are playing. The oener is very friendly and prepared delicious food for me and my wife.
Not impressed... there are no menus... weird environment. owner asked us to decide what to pay for drinks only. wanted us to play music with him... way too insistent... no wifi. what coffee shop has no wifi?>
First off, this place is a joke. This guy is a creeeeeeeeep. Secondly, he legit pays people to give him 5 star reviews and give other area businesses 1 star reviews because he knows his business is going to fail and wants to make it feel like its everyone elses fault when in fact its that he doesnt keep consistent hours, feels like its ok to not serve food because hes not feeling up to it, doesnt have wifi, and IS A TOTAL CREEP. Good luck if you go in here. Oh ant theres a COVER CHARGE. Sorry. No.
Had some great tea and listened to a really great up and coming band called The Milestep.
What a cool experience. Had some loose leaf tea which was super yummy. Staff was so nice! Music was cool!
Nice startup concept. A cafe where you can play or listen to music on instruments provided by the establishment.
I love it I’ve been here with my brother multiple times and everyone’s very nice.
This place has a great atmosphere. Its one of a kind & the owner was very friendly.
I dig this place. Stopped in tonight for the 1st time and if you need to practice in a public space, this is it. Totally chill and I will be there on the regular.
This place has got a wonderful atmosphere to jam out and hang out with friends. No judgment.
Great place, great live music, cozy feel. Highly recommend!!
Very good fresh brewed coffee, priced right. Visited during early afternoon.
An amazing and calming atmosphere. Favorite place to drink tea and listen to music.
Walked in.... Great one on one service.. Reasonably cheap... Felt at home
Sat inside waiting to be server for over 10 minuets this morning, no other customers no workers.... very disappointed! Won’t be back!
Do not let your kids go here alone.

2022-04-16We dropped in Friday afternoon with our son and his wife from out of town. While our drinks took quite a while to prepare the espressos were excellent! The barista said they mix different coffee beans and roast them there. ☕ Delish!My son and his wife are musicians and really liked the vibe. Ella Fitzgerald was playing, it was enjoyable. My hubby and I want to return for a Saturday night show. 😊4 stars because one order was incorrect.

2022-03-17Cool enough place. paid 3 dollars for a coke and was not able to settle in and get work done. they did not have the wifi password which is bizarre because the entire family was there.

2018-10-02Love this place! Very cool and unique business that has endless possibilities. I brought my kids in here the other day and they had a blast singing and playing the drums and guitar. The owner went out of his way to make us feel welcome and even set up an extra microphone for my daughters ukulele. In our current society of the smart phones, tablets, and video games, this place is a breath of fresh air. Cant recommend it enough.

2019-03-23Stopped in with my son for a latte and to play around on the instruments for a while. The owner was friendly and thoughtful. Really relaxed atmosphere, comfortable vibe, and unique concept for a small local business. Well pop in again soon.

2019-06-13First of all, this place is rarely open... the posted hours are just that... posted... they are usually open at night only, despite saying they open in the am for breakfast. They are sometimes closed for weeks at a time, and the owner expects you to check his website to determine if they are open... Oh and the owner... what an absolute horrible proprietor.... told me he was too tired to make food. Not impressed... there are no menus... weird environment. owner asked us to decide what to pay for drinks only. wanted us to play music with him... way too insistent... no wifi. what coffee shop has no wifi. Then he wanted to take photos of me in front of his green screen.... creeeeeeeeepy..... I actually encourage you to visit this cringefest....The only upside is that he doesnt serve meat.... well he doesnt actually serve food.... one last gripe... he put honey in my tea, despite my claim that honey isnt vegan.... He argued with me... the customer.... and then proceeds to say that bee throw up is vegan because it doesnt hurt the bees.... WTF... please visit this place so you can see for yourself.... but be aware, he charges a $3 cover charge to come in and hang out with him and listen to him complain about the mean world and how he cant find employment due to competition.... I AM NOT JOKING.... Speaking of competition... the guy has taped up signs everywhere, written in crayon... which say, no judgement, no competition.... oh wait... there is more... he also refers to himself in the third person and walks around in a Panda mask... This is his alter in which he talks in a robot voice(because he is now a robot panda), and identifies as EIKU the robot panda... Please visit, and enjoy the laugh fest... perhaps come here after a few drinks and just watch the show that is the owner....Wow....just Wow... if you think i exaggerate... check out there facebook page... it is well documented.

2019-04-11We stopped in after dinner next door and spent the next hour or so listening to a wonderful musician, chatted with the owner, had some interesting conversation, and am going back to jam soon. Fun place!!
