  Such a gem of a café. I went here to study for a few hours (there is WiFi!). It was very homey inside and the coffee was excellent. I also ordered an egg and cheese on an everything bagel, which was delicious. I will definitely be back!

  I like supporting little mom and pop type places over chains. This is a tiny cafe that you'd almost miss if you weren't looking for it.
  
  However, their drip coffee is the worst I've had in a really long time. I ordered a drip coffee with some cream. Normally, the person behind the counter lets you fix your coffee the way you like, but not here. She put the cream in the cup first, then the coffee. The result was a cup full of cream with very little coffee. Also, it's filled right up to the rim, so be forewarned if take the lid off in your car. you'll end up with half of it in your lap. I asked for her to remake it with less cream. I said I could barely taste the coffee. Instead of pouring the whole thing out they just poured a quarter of it and then added more coffee, so it's still way too weak and doesn't taste like anything. if I didn't know better I would say that they never drink coffee themselves otherwise they would know better than to serve coffee like this.

  Visited this place last week while I was in town visiting family. This place is super cool looking on the inside and the smell is indescribable!! The aroma is reminiscent of years of decadent coffee blended together that incites the most wonderful feeling.
  
  We visited on a Tuesday morning and it was not busy at all, which was nice for us because it was quiet. My cousin has been coming here for years and we chatted up the staff while we ordered and ate. The breakfast sandwich I ordered was fulfilling. I couldn't help but notice their incredible coffee flavors with super dope names, which I took a photo of. The serving sizes are gray for the price. I heard they've been doing open mic nights for years and my cousin reminisced about the times he would attend  when he was in high school. Looked like they also serve wine and have other events periodically. Next time I'm back in Lynn, this place is high up on my list to visit again!!

  I am new to the Lynn neighbourhood and live only a few minutes from here. I drive by this place every morning and have been wanting to give it a shot. I was excited to visit based in all the good reviews on here. I decided to go last week and try a coffee and my husband ordered a hot chocolate.
  First: atmosphere. It was cute and quaint but chairs and tables were practically on top of each other in an already small space due to the stage they had. In a very visible corner, there was a table and a man (whom I assumed was the owner) with piles and piles of paper and books on the desk...it just look too...messy and cluttered for my liking. The coffee which was decently priced at $2.50 wasn't anything to be thrilled about but decent. I'd much rather support a local shop than a chain like DDs. However, they charged the same price for my husband's hot chocolate. The woman at the counter literally took out the can of Swiss miss right in front of me and put in two scoops, swirled it around with hot water and that's it...$2.50!!! It was watery and a major rip off. They didn't even ask if I'd like to have it made with hot water or milk. Anyway, I hate to say it but I won't be back.

  While everyone that works here is incredible, Jim the owner is a power hungry pig. He uses his "power" over his staff and acts as though he is god gift to this earth. Demeaning and impossible is how most describe him behind his back including his staff.
