I tell you what, this hand turned ice-cream is so good. I can't wait to go back. And I bet their ice-cream cakes ate better then DQ for about the same price.

Was so excited to learn this place opens at 6am! Makes it a place that is open and easy to get to on my way to work. Drinks are delicious and I love their ice cream. Got a chocolate croissant the last time I was there, and it was so so good! Staff are pleasant and helpful. We are lucky to have a lot of good coffee places in the area, but this location is ideal (and the ice cream is a bonus).

The whole place has a cool vibe. Saw a few people sitting and enjoy coffee while working on their laptops. Was very cool to see that kind of thing in a locally owned establishment rather than a Seattle based chain with horrible coffee, who pay their employees who work hard, next to nothing.

Delicious ice cream, good beers, and happy faces - what else we need? Update: they recently updated from scoopskies to The Vibe, and it is fantastic in there. Really good coffee and breakfast. And they have allthe ice creams from before as well.

All the staff is really nice. My partner loves the Electric Watermelon Vegan ice cream, the manager went above and beyond to make sure she got some when we didn’t see any in the freezer and made her whole day.

Amazing music, welcoming workers, and AMAZING food and drinks. The build your own breakfast sandwich with different bases, meats, and cheese is such a creative idea. The coffee and matcha drinks are also to die for.
