Amazing coffee and lots of quick bite options. Cozy vibe in the cafe. The couple that owns the cafe are so sweet, exceptional customer service. I make the 20 minute walk almost daily - worth it!

Cute little Korean mom and pop run cafe. They have great sandwiches and desserts. It seems like the menu is a little smaller these days because its take out only. We got the avocado steak and bacon salami sandwiches with salad on the side. Super tasty! I also got a banana acai smoothie, which was good, but I want to try their sikhye (sweet rice drink) smoothie next time.

The owners are so friendly! My family found this hidden café by chance and the atmosphere is cozy and clean. There’s many food options for vegetarians. I can’t recommend this place enough!

A little gem of a coffee/cafe on Young Street. Located in a complex which has plenty of Korean establishments and they all compliment each other.Coffees, Lattes, Desserts and Small bites.I believe it’s run by husband and wife team. Very nice and personable.

The atmosphere in this wonderful little nook is amazing. It is quiet with wonderful soft music playing and the food is always fresh and delicious. My personal favorite is the banana blueberry smoothie. The owners are very polite and offer wonderful customer service. This is an excellent place to go if you want a healthy lunch or a delicious dessert, there is something to please everyone, even if youre just looking for a simple cup of coffee or tea. Highly recommend!

Went with wifey and friend per his choice. Ordered the sandwiches, very tasty. Place was clean, people mostly browsing on their computers. Parking not designated, but owners guided to available parking. First time experience, very enjoyable.

Spero Spera is a cute little mom and pop shop tucked in off of Young Street. The surrounding shops may be a bit questionable but dont let that take away from this treasure of a find. There are lots of espresso and tea options. Its the perfect place to enjoy either a salad or sandwich as a light lunch. Ive only tried their avocado sandwich and grilled cheese with tomato bisque. Both were tasty so perhaps Ill give the other options a try next time.The loft setup and decorations are very reminiscent of cafes in Japan and Korea. I like to come here and reflect on my travels to those countries and where my next adventure will take me. Its really cozy and offers a unique experience compared to most cafes here. Its a great place to study or just relax and read. They offer wifi when you make a purchase. Theres a few parking spots in front of the building as well as many street parking options.

This place is one of my favorite study spots because of the upstairs area with large tables and ample outlets. It also has WiFi! Additionally, we are often the only people.in the upstairs study area, so it is even nicer. They also have good coffee and great food.

The coconut latte is to die for!!!! Great place for sandwiches and coffee drinks. Definitely the definition of a mom and pop cafe. They provide free wifi so bring your laptop and enjoy the coffee and food! The inside is well kept and has an upstairs for a little more privacy.

Review №28

Too cold. Out of some drinks. Drinks are not accurately labled on menu, very misleading. Food and drinks items are pricey for the quality and service. They dont tell you about their minimum amount of food and drinks you need to buy in order to sit down at one of their tables before you buy , so then they tell you to leave or force you into buying more, after you bought something thats was not at the price point they wanted. Go somewhere else!

A quiet spot to study, read and other activities that require focus. Food and drinks are available. Parking is shared, so you may need to wait at times. The atmosphere is what I come for ; its a serene spot tucked in a busy neighborhood.

Great sandwiches and coffee/tea options. The staff are super warm and friendly. Theres a parking lot in front, but parking can be scarce because it shares it with a few other businesses. Tip: get the affogato.

A little Oasis tucked away on Young St. They have some interesting, unusual things like the ice banana latte. Dont go if youre in a hurry, though.

Review №43

Absolutely terrible service, older women is extremely rude. She Tried forcing me into buying more drinks because she said she runs the AC and cleans the tables for customers. If Im not mistaken thats already part of your job, dont try to force customers into buying more drinks if you choose to run AC. They were also out of a lot of items therefore got less business from me. This shop is a very greedy shop. Spend your money else where.

Walked in and was immediately greated by a very nice couple behind the counter. We ordered the garlic steak sandwich with the salad and baked potatos, it was so good! Would definitely recommend. The veggies tasted fresh and had lots of flavor. They also offer lots of vegetarian options on their menu. Glad we stumbed upon this place!

After reading the reviews, always wanted to try this place!We didnt know which was there stall so we street parked. We luckily found one right outside.We walked in to find inside a cute, quite cozy, 2 storied Café. It had pictures of the menu. Has wi-fi, just gotta ask for the code.My husband had the Bacon Salami. He liked it. He didnt expect a nice amount of potato to be inside. He said it went well with the Salami. He also tried their Strawberry Lemon Soda. It was pretty yum. Although the lemon sorta overpowered the flavor. They wrap a tissue around the cup so cute! (Sorry no photo).I got the Avocado Steak, which was on the specials board by the register. It was garlicky & yum.We both had chips which were funyuns. I wonder why funyuns? Most places would have kettle chips or something.For each sandwich purchase, they give a free house coffee.
