I had been hearing this spot from fellow artists, also one of my fave local rapper started his career performing there. I went to check it out and let me tell you, I never regret listening to my peeps. Its a small cafe which serves some of the most tasty vegan friendly delights. The people are amazing, the customer service is a 10 star. And it begins with a drum circle led by very talented folks. I also started to develop my emceeing & hosting skills here too.
