It has a clean, cozy cabin vibe inside. I visited this coffee shop with a friend and would 100% return when visiting. Has a blueberry oat iced latte, delish!

Really great place to stop in relax read a book or hang out with friends. Very inviting environment. Check it out if you get a chance out here and good old Tehachapi! Person in charge, Chelsea is wonderful! But everybody is very sweet as well. Come on down!

THE place for coffee and delicious breakfast options in Tehachapi. We look forward to our stop here everytime we’re in town - which is often ‘cause we love Tehachapi!

On our road trip out to Vegas, we made it a mission (as always) to find a local coffee shop — and wow, this place did not disappoint! It had great reviews, a cute name, and honestly, I trust any coffee shop that puts this much love into their seasonal menu. One thing we noticed right away: they are definitely lavender lovers here! Tons of their specials featured lavender, which is perfect for me because I'm low-key obsessed with anything lavender-flavored. We ordered the Bee Happy and Easter Bunny lattes, and both were absolutely delicious — smooth, perfectly balanced, and just the right amount of sweetness. You could tell they actually cared about the quality of what they were serving, not just rushing out drinks. The Bee Happy had this amazing hint of honey and floral notes without being overpowering, and the Easter Bunny latte was this cozy, chocolatey, springtime hug in a cup. The vibe inside was super cozy and welcoming — think artsy, warm, and a little bit eclectic, but not in a try-hard way. The staff was genuinely friendly and happy to chat about the different drinks and make recommendations. You can tell when people love where they work, and it definitely showed. We loved it so much we made it a non-negotiable stop on the way back from Vegas too. Honestly, if I lived closer, I'd probably be one of those people who "accidentally" ends up there every day. If you’re passing through, make the stop — it’s 100% worth it!

One of the best dooooo espresso shots I’ve ever had. Top 5 in all the country. Food was amazing. Whoever rates this lower than 5 stars should be banned.

We had no idea where to go for breakfast and stopped in this place because there was no wait on a Sunday morning. (The line grew after we showed up) I’m SO glad we did. I had a turkey pesto ciabatta sandwich, my husband had the egg bagel sandwich, one of the kids had avocado toast, and another kid had the ham panini and we topped it off with two waffles. The food was delicious. The bread tastes fresh out of the oven (I don’t know if it was). You walk up and order and they call you up when it’s ready. Honestly, it’s been a long time since I’ve bothered to write a review but this place left an impression. The ambiance is really peaceful. We’d come here every weekend if we lived in town.

Definitely a peaceful ambiance from the moment you step through the threshold and into the entryway, the vibes are warm and mellow. The place is small, but you can tell the owners put thought into the space and really wanted folks to feel cozy and comfortable when they walked in......The smell of fresh espresso is there and the baristas were attentive and helpful in explaining the options. Great seating, wish it wasn't winter so I could have seen the patio. Great furniture and fixtures, even a game shelf full for patrons to enjoy....the fireplace is a nice touch for sure. Sadly we didn't get any food, but the reviews were solid and after having the coffee I bet the cuisine is tasty.....maybe next time. I ended up telling the barista to surprise me, I love letting them express themselves in their current position, and my latte was fantastic. Will definitely come back here again next time we pass through town just to visit this quaint shop and play a board game with the fam.

I stopped by here during my first visit to Tehachapi, and always try to come by when I'm in town. It's a great little cafe with good atmosphere, and a tasty menu. Local artists and crafters often times have their items in the cafe available for sale, and the staff are very welcoming. *UPDATED 18 May* Stopped by today for a breakfast bagel and blended mocha. I was helped by Kaitlyn, who was super helpful. The place was pretty busy, but I had my beverage in hand in about five minutes and my food another five after that. Thoroughly pleased.
